A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a head injury that disrupts brain function. Symptoms can include headaches, memory problems, dizziness, and changes in mood or behavior. Because TBIs vary widely in severity, a careful evaluation is essential to determine the impact on daily life and the appropriate compensation.
Compensation is determined by medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Insurance adjusters evaluate fault and the extent of damages, and a strong claim helps ensure fair consideration.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury date, with some exceptions. Early consultation helps preserve evidence and protect rights.

Personal injury cases often use a contingency fee, meaning legal fees are paid from the amount recovered if the case resolves. There are typically no upfront fees in many TBIs cases.
