A traumatic brain injury refers to brain damage caused by an external force, such as a head impact. Symptoms can include confusion, headaches, dizziness, memory problems, or changes in mood. TBIs range from mild concussions to severe injuries that affect daily living. If you suspect a TBI after an accident, seek medical care promptly and contact an attorney.
Proving fault in a TBI case typically involves showing that another party’s negligence caused the incident. This can include collecting police reports, evidence at the scene, and medical records. We evaluate liability from multiple sources, including driver behavior, property maintenance, and product or equipment failures.
Damages can include medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and future care expenses. Non-economic damages like pain and suffering may also be recoverable depending on the case.
In California, you typically have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, but certain circumstances can affect this deadline. Early consultation helps ensure you do not miss important deadlines and preserves options.
Bring any medical records, accident reports, insurance details, and notes about symptoms and daily limitations. Also bring contact information for witnesses and any correspondence from insurers or medical providers.
Many TBIs are resolved through negotiation, but some may proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. We prepare thoroughly so you have a strong chance in settlement talks or at trial.
Fees are typically structured as a contingent fee, meaning you pay a percentage of any recovered amount. We discuss costs upfront and pursue options that fit your financial situation.
If the injury is not permanent, you may still recover for medical costs and lost wages, depending on liability and damages. Each case is unique, and we will assess potential recovery during a free consultation.
The timeline varies with case complexity, medical recovery, and settlement negotiations; some cases resolve within months, others may take years. We focus on steady progress and clear communication to keep you informed.
