A brain injury can be life altering. The victim's personality can change. A person may experience subtle differences in cognitive or physical abilities. When they have suffered a catastrophic brain injury involving oxygen deprivation or severe trauma, people may become unable to speak, work or perform everyday functions. In some cases, a brain injury can lead to a long term coma or death.
Exposure to toxic substances can damage organs, cause burns and even result in death. The Law Office of Bryan S. Hawkins represents injured workers throughout Georgia who have sustained injuries due to toxic exposure

Regardless of which ground is used, the issue to be resolved by the fact finder at trial, whether it be a judge or a jury, is whether the conduct of the defendant in the way it used a chemical, mineral or other harmful product was unreasonably dangerous and thereby caused injury to the plaintiff or a group of plaintiffs. The primary issues in such cases will be the conduct of the defendant, the dangers known to exist at the time the defendant engaged in the conduct of which it is accused and the causal relationship of the offending agent to the plaintiff’s injuries. Toxic tort claims rely heavily upon the use of expert witnesses on all of these issues. Call John Anderson for a free consultation today.
