A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is damage to the brain caused by an external impact, such as a car crash or fall. It can affect thinking, memory, balance, mood, and daily function. Symptoms may vary and can appear immediately or develop over time. Prompt medical evaluation is important for prognosis and documentation.
In California, most personal injury claims have a two-year statute of limitations from the date of injury. Some government-related claims have different deadlines, and certain factors can shorten or extend deadlines. It’s important to consult early to protect your rights.
Bring identification, any medical records related to the injury, accident reports, photos, insurance information, and a list of questions you want to ask. Also include documentation of wages, bills, and rehabilitation schedules if available.
Many cases settle before trial when a fair offer is on the table. If liability, damages, or witnesses are contested, litigation may be necessary to pursue full compensation.
Damages cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future income, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. A lawyer helps quantify future care needs and earnings loss to ensure the claim reflects long‑term impact.
Even seemingly mild TBIs can have lasting effects. Legal guidance helps ensure medical costs, lost income, and support services are properly accounted for in the claim.
Medical experts review imaging, cognitive testing, and prognosis to provide opinions that support liability and damages in negotiations or trial. Their testimony can strengthen your case.
Many injury matters are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no upfront fee and the attorney’s fee is contingent on recovery. A consultation can explain specific terms for your case.
Out-of-state injuries are often treated under the applicable state laws. We coordinate with local counsel when needed to ensure proper handling of jurisdictional issues.
Contingency fees are typically a percentage of any amount recovered through settlement or trial. If there is no recovery, there is no fee; terms are discussed during the initial consult.
