A traumatic brain injury is a disruption in normal brain function caused by an impact or jolt to the head, which can affect thinking, memory, balance, and mood. In California, a TBI claim seeks compensation for medical costs, lost wages, rehabilitation, and impacts on quality of life, with timelines and liability rules that vary by case.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of the injury, although there are exceptions. If a government entity is involved or if the injury occurred to a minor, deadlines can change, so early consultation helps protect rights.
Compensation can cover medical bills, therapy, lost income, and out-of-pocket costs. Non-economic damages may compensate for pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life, with amounts depending on evidence and case facts.
Many TBI cases settle, but some go to court to resolve disputed issues. A lawyer helps negotiate a favorable settlement and prepare for trial if needed.
Establishing fault often requires accident reports, witness statements, and medical records. California’s comparative negligence rules may affect the final award if more than one party is at fault.
Bring medical records, imaging, police or incident reports, insurance information, and a list of symptoms. Keep a diary of daily impact and provide contact info for treaters.
Insurers may request access to medical records; your attorney can coordinate what is shared. We review requests to protect privacy and ensure you are not pressured to settle prematurely.
Pain and suffering are non-economic damages; calculation uses factors like severity, duration, and impact on daily life. Evidence includes medical notes, testimony, and daily impact diaries.
Some TBIs show symptoms later; early evaluation is essential. Even seemingly minor head injuries may have long-term effects, so seeking prompt assessment is important.
While you can start the claim on your own, a brain injury case has complexities that benefit from professional guidance. Consulting with a firm helps protect rights and improve outcomes.
