A traumatic brain injury is damage to the brain caused by an external force, such as a blow to the head. TBIs can affect thinking, memory, balance, and mood, and may require medical treatment and rehabilitation.
A TBI case is evaluated by reviewing medical records, accident reports, and expert opinions to determine fault and the extent of damages. Damages typically include medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering.
Evidence includes medical records, testimony from doctors and caregivers, and documentation of ongoing care needs. The goal is to establish liability and fair compensation.
California has statutes of limitations that set deadlines for filing. It’s important to start the process early to preserve evidence and rights.
While not required, hiring an attorney helps coordinate medical and legal steps, communicate with insurers, and pursue appropriate compensation.
If you cannot work, the case can account for lost wages and diminished earning capacity, along with medical expenses and future care.
Medical bills may continue to accrue during a case, and liens or third-party payers may affect recovery; we work to protect your funds.
A settlement avoids trial but requires negotiation; a trial can resolve disputed issues and may result in a verdict.
Liens from health programs or insurers must be addressed; we negotiate or settle liens to maximize the amount you keep.
Contact a TBI attorney as soon as possible after an injury to protect evidence, gather records, and determine available options.
