A traumatic brain injury is a disruption of brain function caused by an external impact. Symptoms vary and may include headaches, dizziness, memory problems, or changes in personality. Medical care and rehabilitation are essential for recovery. A well-planned claim can help cover medical costs, rehabilitation, and long-term support needs. Building a clear record from the start strengthens your position.
To prove fault, we review driver behavior, safety rules, and available evidence such as police reports and surveillance footage. California uses comparative negligence, meaning your claim may still proceed if you share some responsibility, but compensation can be reduced accordingly. We help you navigate these nuances.
In California, the typical deadline to file a personal injury claim is two years from the date of injury, with some exceptions. Prompt action helps preserve evidence and preserves options for settlement or trial.
Compensation may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. A thorough calculation considers current needs and future care.
Many TBI cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and the attorney’s fee comes from the settlement or verdict. This structure aligns our goals with yours.
For a free consultation, bring identification, any accident or incident reports, medical records, insurance information, and a list of questions about your case.
Many cases settle before trial, but some proceed to court when liability or damages are in dispute. Our team prepares thoroughly to pursue the best possible outcome at every stage.
Timing varies by case complexity, evidence availability, and court schedules. Some TBIs resolve in months, others require more time to build a complete record.
If you cannot work during recovery, you may seek loss of income and loss of future earning capacity as part of your claim, along with medical and care costs.
