A traumatic brain injury is a disruption of brain function caused by an external force, such as a blow to the head or a penetration injury. Symptoms can include headaches, memory problems, dizziness, and changes in mood or behavior. It is important to seek medical evaluation promptly. The legal process helps determine who is responsible for the injury and what costs you may recover. In California, timing and documentation are key to building a strong claim.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within a specific statute of limitations, typically two years for injuries like TBI. However, certain circumstances can shorten or extend deadlines, so it’s important to consult early. A skilled attorney can assess your case and ensure filings are timely and properly documented.
You may recover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Depending on the case, you might also be eligible for future care costs and home modifications. An experienced attorney helps value these damages accurately and pursue them effectively.
While you may manage a claim on your own, a TBI case involves complex medical records, fault analysis, and negotiations with insurers. An attorney can help preserve your rights, gather evidence, and pursue fair compensation without you bearing all the risk.
Bring any accident reports, medical records, bills, wage statements, insurance information, and a written summary of how the injury has affected daily life. If you have photographs or witness contacts, bring those as well.

Timelines vary by case and complexity. A typical process includes initial evaluation, evidence gathering, demand for settlement, negotiation, and possible litigation. Your attorney will tailor a schedule to your situation.
Yes. Receiving treatment and following medical advice does not preclude pursuing a claim. In fact, ongoing medical care can strengthen your case by documenting ongoing needs and costs.
