How Georgia Law Defines Catastrophic Injuries & Where TBIs Fit In

Georgia’s state code defines a catastrophic injury as one that prevents a worker from performing their prior job or any other work available in substantial numbers within the national economy. This is an important distinction, as those who have sustained catastrophic job-related injuries are eligible for enhanced benefits. 

Traumatic brain injuries often meet this definition because of their profound and unpredictable effects. 

Even with modern treatment, TBIs can cause:

• Memory loss and cognitive impairment
• Difficulty concentrating or communicating
• Loss of coordination or balance
• Personality changes or mood swings
• Chronic headaches, fatigue, or sleep disruption
• Emotional instability and depression

The severity of a brain injury can vary widely, but even so-called “mild” TBIs can produce significant long-term challenges that limit a worker’s employability. More severe injuries, such as those involving bleeding, swelling, or loss of consciousness, often result in permanent disability and qualify as catastrophic under Georgia law.
