A traumatic brain injury is caused by a blow or jolt to the head that disrupts brain function, which may involve memory loss, dizziness, headaches, or changes in thinking. Symptoms can appear immediately or develop over days. TBIs range from mild concussions to severe injuries. Even seemingly minor head impacts can have lasting effects, so seeking medical care and legal guidance is important.
In California, the general deadline is two years from the injury date to file a personal injury claim, but some circumstances may shorten or extend that window. Children, and government claims may have different timelines; consult a local attorney to confirm; time limits may also apply to property or insurance matters.
Possible compensation includes medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Non-economic damages and future care needs can be substantial; an accurate damages calculation helps maximize a favorable outcome.
While you may handle a minor case alone, a TBI case often benefits from experienced advocacy to navigate medical documentation and insurance negotiations. A lawyer can help preserve evidence, communicate with insurers, and pursue appropriate compensation while you focus on recovery.
Fault is determined by the actions of others, including driver behavior, negligence, or workplace safety failures, supported by records and expert opinions. Evidence such as police reports, videos, and medical notes helps establish liability and the extent of damages.
Settlement timelines vary with case complexity, available evidence, and insurer leverage; some cases settle within months, others take longer. We work to move efficiently while thoroughly pursuing the full value of the claim.
Bring identification, medical records, bills, insurance information, wage documentation, and notes about how the injury has affected daily life. If possible, gather police or incident reports, photos, and any communications with doctors or insurers.
Yes. Health insurance, auto policies, and liability coverage may contribute to medical costs and rehabilitation; coverage depends on policy terms and case specifics. An attorney can review policies to maximize available funds and pursue additional compensation for out-of-pocket expenses and long-term care needs.
California follows comparative negligence rules; you may still recover if your fault is partial, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. A lawyer can help protect your rights and ensure fault is fairly assigned based on evidence.
