A traumatic brain injury (TBI) involves a disruption to brain function caused by an external force. A lawyer can help determine eligibility for compensation and guide you through the process. The next steps typically include gathering medical records, identifying liable parties, and filing a claim.
To start a TBI claim, schedule a consultation, gather medical records and incident details, and file the claim within applicable deadlines. You can expect guidance on documenting damages and building your case timeline.
Damages in a TBI case generally include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future care needs, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
California typically allows two years to file a personal injury claim, with some exceptions based on the situation and involved parties.
Bring any medical records, accident reports, insurance information, contact details for witnesses, and a clear description of how the injury affects daily life.
Many TBI cases settle before trial, but some require litigation to obtain a fair result. Our team will guide you toward the best path for your situation.
Typically, clients pay costs from a recovery; attorneys may advance some costs and are compensated from the final settlement or verdict.
Fault is shown through evidence such as police reports, scene photos, witness statements, and medical records that connect the incident to the injury.
Timelines vary by case complexity, evidence availability, and court schedules, but many TBIs resolve within months to a few years.
While not required, having a TBI attorney can help maximize compensation, manage the process, and coordinate medical and evidentiary needs.
