Focused on Your Recovery After a Brain Injury

Brain injury not only affects the injured person, but their family as well. Families watch as their income decreases and expenses increase. When medical bills mount, families begin to get calls from collection agencies.

At Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, we understand the physical, emotional and financial losses caused by brain injuries and other catastrophic injuries. We believe the most important thing is you, and your health. We strive to do everything we can to facilitate your recovery — physically, emotionally and financially — after a brain injury.

Call us toll free at 1.800.233.4086 or contact us online to discuss your brain injury claim with a nationally recognized lawyer.

The personal injury attorneys at our firm can help you deal with the legal and medical issues you are facing. From our offices in Atlanta and Columbus, Georgia, we represent clients who have suffered serious injuries in car, truck, railroad, or motorcycle accidents, due to medical malpractice, construction accidents, and by dangerous and defective products.

The Proper Diagnosis and Treatment of a Brain Injury

Before settling any accident claim involving a head injury, it is important to accurately determine the true extent of any injury to the brain. In cases where a person is unconscious or in a coma following a SUV rollover accident or a fall, the injury is obvious. In other cases, when a person suffers a blow to the head with a concussion, the symptoms may be more subtle.

Many people who have suffered a head injury often aren't even aware that they have brain damage. It is often family members who notice the first symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, difficulties with speech, or personality changes. A thorough neurological work-up is needed to make sure any head injury is properly diagnosed and treated.

We work hard to help you access the medical services you need to make as full a recovery as possible. We work with medical providers and healthcare facilities to stop collection efforts and allow you and your family to focus on healing and family issues.

We seek maximum compensation for all of your losses caused by brain injury. Our track record of verdicts and settlements speaks for itself. We have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of our clients in serious injury and wrongful death actions.

Plaintiffs Lynn and Douglas Wheeler won their design defect and failure to warn claims against Ford Motor Company relating to the 2002 Ford Explorer. On Christmas morning 2005, 58 year old Lynn Wheeler was on her way to church with her family. Lynn Wheeler was seated in the rear center seat of her son’s 2002 Ford Explorer, wearing the lap-only seat belt Ford installed for that seating position. Two of Lynn Wheeler’s grandchildren were in child seats on either side of her. As they entered a curve on Noah’s Ark Road, a 2-door Eagle Talon coupe driven by John C. Stanley crossed the centerline and struck the Explorer head-on.
