Annual Cost of Atlanta Accidents Caused by Drunk Drivers Resulting in TBI

If you’ve been injured by one of the hundreds of accidents caused by drunk drivers each year, you may be suffering from a serious traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can cause complex medical conditions that may reverberate throughout an entire lifetime. 

Not only can the ramifications of a TBI leave victims less capable of living the lives they’d hoped for, but these injuries – along with countless others that result from accidents caused by drunk drivers – can impose restrictive costs on families already reeling from the expenses of an accident and possibly a serious loss of income. 

It’s estimated that a mild head injury will cost more than $85,000, which seems grossly expensive until you consider that a moderate injury will cost a victim more than $900,000 in medical expenses, and a severe injury can cost up to $3 million. 

These costs don’t even factor the expenses incurred when a TBI causes long-term damage, which can range from $600,000 to $1.8 million, depending on the severity of the injury. 

If you or someone you love has suffered TBI as the result of a car accident that was caused by a drunk driver, get advice from an Atlanta brain injury attorney who has specifically handled drunk driving cases because these can differ from standard personal injury cases.
