A traumatic brain injury is any blow or jolt that disrupts brain function. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop over time, including headaches, confusion, memory problems, changes in behavior, and balance issues. Seek medical attention promptly.
California generally imposes deadlines known as statutes of limitations. For many TBI cases, you must file within two years of the injury, but some situations shorten or extend that period. Consult with a lawyer to determine the exact timeline.
Damages are assessed by medical costs, lost income, future care needs, and pain and suffering. An attorney helps quantify both current and future losses.
A qualified attorney can help you navigate medical records, insurance issues, and negotiation strategies to maximize your recovery and reduce stress.
Bring medical records, accident reports, photos, a list of medications, and contact information for witnesses or relatives.
Costs can include contingency fees, court costs, and expert fees. Many personal injury firms work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront.
While you can start the process on your own, a brain injury attorney can help you avoid mistakes and pursue a stronger result.
Case length varies, but complex TBIs can take many months to years, depending on medical needs and dispute resolution.
If symptoms emerge later, it is important to consult promptly, as deadlines may apply from the date of injury or discovery of damages.
Not all cases go to trial. Many are resolved through settlements, but we prepare every case for trial in case it becomes necessary.
