You can file a claim without a lawyer, but traumatic brain injury cases often involve ongoing medical needs, complex liability questions, and insurance disputes that are hard to navigate alone. Working with a TBI attorney helps organize medical evidence, identify all responsible parties, and pursue a settlement or case that reflects long term care requirements.
California has a statute of limitations for personal injury claims, typically two years from the injury date, with exceptions for minors and certain circumstances. Missing the deadline can bar your claim, so it is important to consult early to evaluate options and preserve rights.
A TBI claim may cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, assistive devices, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. The amount depends on injury severity, prognosis, past and future costs, and impact on daily living.
Bring medical records, imaging reports, accident reports, witness contacts, and any insurer communications. Also include a list of symptoms, daily living impacts, work restrictions, and any ongoing treatment or therapy plans.
Fault can be shown through evidence like police reports, surveillance footage, eyewitness statements, and medical opinions linking the incident to the injury. In some cases multiple parties share fault, affecting liability and compensation.
Many TBIs are resolved through settlements, but some cases go to trial if a fair agreement cannot be reached. We prepare for trial while pursuing efficient settlements to minimize stress and secure proper compensation.
Settlements can sometimes limit future medical coverage or care needs. Review any agreement with an attorney to ensure long term needs are considered. We can assess whether additional compensation is possible through other remedies.
Future medical costs include ongoing therapy, medications, assistive devices, and long term care planning. A careful damages analysis helps secure funds to cover these needs over time.
In most cases you can start with a free initial consultation and a contingency fee arrangement. There are no upfront attorney fees; fees are paid from a portion of any recovery if we win or settle the case.
