A TBI is any injury that disrupts normal brain function due to an external impact. Symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, memory problems, and changes in mood. In more serious cases, TBIs can require long-term care and ongoing therapy. A lawyer can assess your rights and help you pursue appropriate compensation.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. Some exceptions apply, so it’s important to seek guidance promptly. Early action helps preserve evidence and witness memories.
Compensation may cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. A detailed damages calculation helps ensure you are not undervalued.
Insurance representatives may try to settle quickly for less. It’s best to speak with a lawyer before giving statements or signing agreements.
Many TBI cases settle before trial, but some require litigation to protect your rights. We prepare for all outcomes.
Fault is established through investigation, medical records, witness statements, and analysis of applicable laws and circumstances.
Medical records, accident reports, insurance documents, and a history of injuries and treatments help us assess your case.
Timeline varies. Complex TBIs can take longer, while simpler cases may settle faster. We provide updates throughout.
California follows comparative fault rules. You may still recover, but your compensation may be reduced by your share of fault.
Many firms offer free consultations and work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees are paid from a portion of the recovery.
