A traumatic brain injury is damage to the brain caused by an impact or jolt, which can affect thinking, memory, balance, and mood. The severity ranges from mild to severe, and symptoms may persist for days, months, or years.
California generally grants a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including TBIs. In most situations you must file within two years of the injury, though certain conditions can shorten or extend that period.
Compensation may include medical expenses, rehab costs, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The amount depends on evidence and liability.
Having an attorney helps identify liable parties, gather evidence, negotiate settlements, and evaluate whether trial is the best option for your case.
Bring medical records, discharge reports, accident details, witness contacts, and any insurance information. This helps us assess your claim quickly.
Liability is determined by fault and the strength of evidence linking the injury to the incident. We analyze police reports, medical records, and witness statements.
Some cases settle without going to trial, but others may proceed to court. We prepare for trial when a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Medical expenses are typically included in settlements, and we may present ongoing care costs. We work to ensure a comprehensive recovery.
If the at-fault party has limited insurance, we pursue all available assets and may consider additional sources of recovery, such as underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage.
Pain and suffering is evaluated based on the impact on daily life, mood, and function, along with medical evidence and expert input.
