A traumatic brain injury can range from a minor concussion to a severe brain injury, with effects that may be invisible at first. Symptoms can include headaches, confusion, memory problems, changes in mood, and difficulty with daily tasks. If you’ve suffered a qualifying head injury, you deserve an informed discussion about options and next steps.
In California, most TBIs filed as personal injury claims must be brought within two years of the injury, though there are exceptions for minors and governmental entities. The exact deadline depends on factors like the nature of the accident and who was involved. Early legal guidance helps confirm deadlines and protect rights.
Many cases settle before going to trial, but some proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached. A balanced approach weighs liability, damages, and the likelihood of success at trial. Your attorney can guide you through both paths and help you decide what is best for your situation.
The value of a TBI case depends on medical costs, rehabilitation needs, lost wages, future care, and impact on daily living. Liability strength, evidence quality, and timelines also influence potential compensation. A thorough review helps set realistic expectations.
