A traumatic brain injury is damage to the brain caused by an external impact, such as a fall, car crash, or sports collision. Symptoms vary and may include headaches, memory problems, confusion, dizziness, mood changes, and balance difficulties. If you or someone you love has these signs after an incident, seeking medical attention is essential.
In California, the general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury, but certain factors can affect deadlines in TBI cases. Acting promptly helps protect your rights and preserves evidence.
You may recover economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages like pain and suffering. In some cases, future care costs and loss of earning capacity are considered.
Having legal guidance can help you navigate insurance communications, deadlines, and the selection of an appropriate legal strategy tailored to your situation.
Bring any medical records, accident reports, insurance correspondence, photographs, and notes about symptoms and daily impacts.

Many TBI cases operate on a contingency basis in which you pay no upfront fees; fees are typically a percentage of the final recovery if you win or settle the case.
Often, settlements are possible without going to trial, but disputes can arise. We evaluate and pursue the option that best protects your interests.
If a loved one cannot participate, we advocate on their behalf, gather medical and other evidence, and coordinate with family members or guardians as needed.
