A traumatic brain injury is a brain injury caused by a blow, jolt, or impact. Symptoms vary and include headaches, dizziness, memory problems, and mood changes.
California generally provides a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, but some TBIs involve different deadlines. A careful case review helps determine the correct timeline.
Compensation can cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, future care costs, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
While you can manage many aspects of a claim on your own, working with a lawyer helps ensure you meet deadlines, present strong evidence, and maximize recovery.
Fault is established through evidence of negligence, causation, and the link between the incident and the injury. Police reports, witness statements, and medical records are key.
Bring medical records, accident reports, insurance information, photos, and a list of questions for your attorney.
Pain and suffering are considered based on injury severity, impact on daily life, and duration. There isn’t a single formula; each case is evaluated individually.
Medical experts often assist in establishing the injury details, causation, and future care needs.
You can pursue a claim without an attorney, but doing so increases the risk of undervalued compensation or missed deadlines.
Timelines vary by case; some TBIs resolve with early negotiation, while others require prolonged litigation depending on evidence and settlement discussions.
