A traumatic brain injury is a medical condition that results from a jolt or impact to the head or a forceful movement of the body that harms the brain. Legally it requires showing that another party was at fault and that their actions caused your injury. The claim focuses on medical evidence, liability, and the financial impact of the injury on your life. In California, the timeline to file a claim is important and we help you navigate deadlines and proper documentation.
California generally imposes a statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including TBIs. For adults, the typical deadline is two years from the date of injury, but there are exceptions. It is important to start the process early to protect your rights and preserve evidence. Our team can evaluate your case and outline a timeline tailored to your situation.
Damages in a TBI case can include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and non economic damages for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. We help quantify both current and future losses and pursue compensation through settlements or court verdicts.
Many TBI cases settle before trial, but some require litigation to achieve a fair result. We assess liability and damages, prepare thoroughly, and pursue the path that offers the best chance at full and fair compensation while keeping you informed at every step.
You typically do not pay upfront lawyer fees in many TBI cases. Our firm often works on a contingency basis, meaning legal fees are paid from a portion of the recovery if you win or settle your claim.
Liability in a TBI case is shown by establishing that another party had a duty to act with care, breached that duty, and caused your injury. We gather records, expert opinions, and witness testimony to build a clear liability case and connect it to your damages.
Bring medical records and bills, proof of income, employment information, details of the accident, contact information for witnesses, and any police or incident reports. Having organized documentation helps us evaluate and prepare your claim efficiently.
