Advanced TBI Imaging FAQs

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means there is no upfront cost to you, and you owe us no attorney’s fees unless and until we recover compensation for you. We believe that access to quality legal representation should not depend on your financial situation.

Our firm serves injury victims throughout Georgia from our offices in Decatur and Sandy Springs. We represent clients in cases involving car accidents, truck accidents, premises liability, and other catastrophic injuries. We are available for in-person consultations at either office, and we can also meet virtually.

Some DTI-detectable changes are most prominent in the acute phase but can persist for months or years. The window for optimal imaging varies based on injury severity and individual factors. This is one reason why prompt legal consultation is important — we can advise you on the timing of neuroimaging evaluation relative to your accident date.

No. Standard MRI does not visualize white matter connectivity — the very structures most commonly damaged in mTBI. A normal conventional MRI is not evidence of the absence of injury; it is evidence of the limits of the imaging technology used. This is precisely why advanced imaging exists.

Yes, significantly. Objective neuroimaging evidence of white matter damage transforms a subjective symptom complaint into documented, measurable pathology. In our experience, well-documented TBI cases supported by advanced imaging command substantially higher settlements and verdicts than cases relying on symptom reporting alone.

Coverage varies by plan. DTI and fMRI are increasingly being covered for clinical indications, particularly when a treating neurologist orders them as medically necessary. In personal injury cases, the cost of advanced imaging may also be recoverable as part of your damages. Our team can help you navigate both insurance coverage and cost-recovery issues.
