A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is brain damage caused by an external impact. Symptoms vary and may include headaches, confusion, dizziness, memory problems, and mood changes. A qualified attorney can help gather medical records, identify liable parties, and pursue compensation for medical bills, care, and losses.
TBIs are often more complex than other injuries because medical prognosis and future care needs matter. Insurance companies may try to minimize liability, so a lawyer helps protect your rights and maximize recovery.
You may seek damages for medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Additional compensation may be available for home modifications and long term care.
While you can start a claim on your own, having a TBI attorney helps navigate medical records, deadlines, and negotiations. A lawyer can advocate for fair compensation and manage communications with insurers.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury is typically two years from the injury. Some cases may have different timelines, so it is important to consult early.

Liability is typically established through accident reconstruction, medical testimony, and documentation of fault. Our team investigates, consults experts, and builds a case for responsibility.
Costs can be discussed upfront. Many TBI firms work on contingency, meaning fees are paid from the settlement or award. You will not owe attorney fees unless we recover a settlement or win at trial.
Many cases settle before trial, but some may proceed to court. We assess each case to determine the best route for maximum recovery.
Case timelines vary, but a typical TBI matter can take months to years depending on complexity, negotiations, and court schedules. We strive to keep you informed at every stage.
