Negligence is a failure to use reasonable care, leading to an injury.
In California, there is a time limit to file most civil claims after an injury.
In TBI cases you may pursue a quick settlement, mediation, or file a lawsuit depending on liability, damages, and your goals.

Damages in a TBI case can include medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. The exact amounts depend on injury severity, treatment needs, and impact on daily life. A careful review of medical records and employment history helps determine fair compensation.
California generally sets a deadline, called a statute of limitations, to file a personal injury claim. Missing this deadline can bar your case. It’s important to consult early to understand applicable timelines and any tolling rules that may apply.
Bring any incident reports, medical records, imaging results, insurance information, and notes about how the injury affects daily activities. If you have a diary of symptoms, include that as well. Having details ready helps us assess your case more efficiently.
Many TBI claims are resolved through settlements, but some may proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached. A lawyer can advocate for your interests in either path and explain potential outcomes.
A traumatic brain injury results from an impact or insult to the head that disrupts brain function. Symptoms vary and can include headaches, memory issues, dizziness, and changes in mood or balance. Medical evaluation is essential for proper care and documentation.
Many TBI cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay legal fees only if we recover compensation. We discuss fees upfront and keep you informed throughout the process.
It is possible to pursue smaller claims without a lawyer, but complex TBIs typically benefit from professional advice to maximize the chance of fair compensation and to navigate medical and legal systems.
Contact a lawyer as soon as possible after the injury. Early consultation helps preserve evidence, identify all potential sources of liability, and ensure deadlines are met.
If the injury occurred outside California, we can discuss options. We coordinate with local counsel and handle many aspects from our California office when feasible.
