A traumatic brain injury is a serious injury that can affect thinking, memory, balance and mood. It may result from car crashes, falls, or sports incidents. Medical care and careful documentation are essential for proper treatment and a strong claim.
In California most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. There are exceptions for minors and certain situations. It is important to consult a lawyer promptly to avoid missing deadlines and to preserve evidence.
You may be eligible for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. A thorough review helps ensure all damages are claimed.
Many TBI cases settle without going to trial. Some cases proceed to court when a fair settlement cannot be reached or when legal options require litigation for full compensation.
Fault is determined by reviewing evidence such as accident reports, witness statements, and expert opinions. Liability may involve drivers, property owners, employers, or others whose actions caused the injury.
Bring any accident details, medical records, bills, insurance information, police reports, photos, and names of witnesses. If you have a Verge or other documentation, bring it as well.
Cases can end in settlement or proceed to trial. We prepare for trial when necessary, but we work to secure the best possible outcome through negotiation first.
Medical bills may be paid from the settlement or verdict. We also address liens and ensure future medical costs are considered in the claim.
If you cannot work during recovery, you may be entitled to lost wages or loss of earning capacity. We document your abilities and pursue compensation for time away from work.
A contingency fee means you pay attorney fees only if you recover compensation. Fees are a percentage of the recovery, and costs may be advanced by the firm.
