A traumatic brain injury is a disruption in brain function caused by an external force, such as a blow to the head or a violent jolt. Symptoms vary and may include headaches, dizziness, memory problems, and mood changes; diagnosis by a medical professional is essential.
A concussion is a milder form of brain injury with temporary impairment of brain function. A TBI may involve more serious injuries with long-lasting effects.
Damages in a TBI case can include medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and non-economic harms like pain and suffering.
In California, you typically have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, though there are exceptions for certain cases.
While not required, having a lawyer helps you understand options, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and pursue a fair settlement or trial.
Bring identification, medical records, accident reports, proof of expenses, and a list of questions to discuss your case.
Liability is determined by fault for the incident, supported by evidence such as witness statements, surveillance footage, and medical records.
If the at-fault driver lacks insurance, you may still pursue compensation from other sources, such as uninsured motorist coverage or the at-fault party’s assets.
TBI cases can take anywhere from several months to several years, depending on complexity, court schedules, and settlement readiness.
Settlement amounts vary widely based on injury severity, medical costs, and impact on daily life; a detailed evaluation with a lawyer provides a more accurate range.
