A traumatic brain injury is a disruption of brain function caused by external force. It can affect memory, balance, speech, and behavior. In a claim, you may recover medical expenses, lost wages, rehab costs, and pain and suffering. Recovery times vary; you deserve thoughtful guidance to understand options and timelines as you heal.
In California, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, with some exceptions. Early consultation helps preserve evidence and clarify deadlines. If you miss a deadline, you may lose your right to pursue compensation, so it’s important to act promptly.
Economic damages cover medical bills, lost wages, and future care costs. Non-economic damages include pain, suffering, and impact on quality of life.
