A TBI claim seeks compensation for medical costs, lost wages, therapy, and pain and suffering. We determine fault, gather medical evidence, and build a plan to recover the maximum allowed under California law.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years. There are exceptions and notice requirements that a lawyer can explain.
Compensation can cover medical care, rehab, lost income, and non-economic damages. The amount depends on injury severity, treatment needs, and impact on daily life.
While you can represent yourself, a lawyer helps with evidence, deadlines, and negotiation. Having a professional on your side can improve outcomes.
Fault is determined through police reports, witness statements, and expert opinions. California uses comparative negligence, which can affect recovery if you contributed to the accident.
Settlement amounts are influenced by medical costs, future care needs, and lost earnings. Juries and insurers consider a wide range of factors when valuing a claim.
Bring medical records, bills, insurance information, accident details, and any relevant receipts. Also bring a list of medications and a summary of how the injury has impacted your life.
