A traumatic brain injury is an injury to the brain caused by an external impact, which can affect thinking, movement, and behavior. Symptoms may appear right away or develop over time, and treatment often involves medical care, rehabilitation, and support services.
To prove fault in a TBI case, we show that another party behaved negligently or breached a duty of care. Evidence may include accident reports, surveillance footage, medical opinions, and eyewitness testimony.
California generally allows two years to file a personal injury claim, but deadlines can vary by situation. Starting early helps preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Some cases settle out of court through negotiation, while others proceed to trial if a fair settlement can’t be reached. We guide you through each option and help decide the best path for your situation.
Medical providers may continue to treat you while your case is active, and you may not owe out of pocket costs upfront depending on arrangements. We work to secure a fair settlement that covers medical bills, therapy, and lost wages.
There is no fixed value for a TBI claim; the amount depends on medical costs, prognosis, impact on daily life, and the potential need for long term care. An experienced attorney can help you understand possible outcomes and pursue fair compensation.
While you can file a claim on your own, having a qualified attorney helps with evidence gathering, correspondence, and understanding legal rights. We handle communications, deadlines, and strategy so you can focus on recovery.
Bring any accident reports, medical records, imaging results, insurance information, and a list of symptoms and daily limitations. Notes about work impact, caregiving needs, and any witnesses can also help.
It is possible to pursue a claim without a lawyer, but it is challenging and may reduce your ability to obtain full compensation. If you choose to proceed alone, be mindful of filing deadlines, procedural rules, and settlement demands.
Contact a lawyer as soon as possible after a brain injury to preserve evidence and discuss timelines. Early consultation helps you understand options and avoid mistakes that could affect your case.
