A traumatic brain injury is a serious injury to the brain caused by an external force. It can affect memory, balance, speech, and daily functioning. Our team can explain your rights and options clearly.
California’s statutes of limitations for personal injury claims generally require filing within two years of the injury. Some cases may have shorter deadlines, so prompt evaluation is important.
You may recover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care costs. An attorney can help quantify and pursue these damages.
While not required, local attorneys are familiar with county-specific procedures, judges, and insurers, which can help your case.
Contingency fees mean you pay nothing upfront; the lawyer’s fee is a percentage of the final recovery if you win or settle your case.
Bring records of medical treatment, accident details, receipts, and any questions you have for the attorney.
Case timelines vary, but many TBIs are resolved through settlements or trials within months to a few years, depending on complexity.
The timeline depends on the case, court availability, and the need for medical input; we pursue efficient resolution while protecting your rights.
If the at-fault party has insurance, the insurer is typically involved in settlements and coverage decisions, but your attorney handles negotiations.
While some straightforward matters may be handled independently, most people benefit from legal guidance to protect rights and maximize recovery.
