A traumatic brain injury is damage to brain tissue caused by an external impact. Symptoms can include headache, memory problems, dizziness, fatigue, and mood changes. If you’ve experienced such an injury after an accident, you deserve a thoughtful assessment of your options and potential compensation. Our team can help you understand your rights and begin planning next steps.
California has a statute of limitations that typically requires filing a TBI claim within two years of the injury, though certain circumstances can affect timing. It’s important to consult with an attorney early to ensure no deadlines are missed and to discuss the options for relief.
Most compensation calculations include medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, and impairment. Non-economic factors like pain and suffering can also be considered. An attorney helps quantify these values and present a strong claim.
Bring documentation of the injury, medical records, insurance information, any police or accident reports, and notes about symptoms and daily impacts. A summary of work duties and receipts for expenses can also be helpful.
Many TBI cases settle without going to court, but some may require litigation. We evaluate the specifics of your situation and pursue the path that best serves your interests.
Case timelines vary based on injury severity, evidence availability, and court schedules. Some cases resolve in months, others take longer. We focus on steady progress and clear updates.
If another party is at fault, you may be able to pursue compensation from multiple sources. Liability can involve drivers, employers, property owners, or others depending on the incident.
While you can pursue some basic claims without a lawyer, a TBI case often involves complex medical and legal issues. A lawyer helps protect rights, manage deadlines, and advocate for fair compensation.
Legal representation typically involves contingency fees or agreed-upon payment structures. There may be costs for obtaining records, medical opinions, and court filing fees, which we discuss during a free consultation.
