Traumatic brain injuries refer to a range of injuries to the brain from a head impact. They can affect thinking, memory, mood, and physical function. If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering.
In California, the general deadline is two years from the injury date, but there are exceptions. Some cases involve minors or insurance issues; early consultation helps ensure you meet all applicable deadlines.
Evidence includes medical records, accident reports, expert opinions, and witness statements. Proving negligence and causation requires connecting the injury to the incident and showing how it changed your life.
Many personal injury firms work on a contingency basis, meaning there are no upfront legal fees. Fees are paid from the recovery if your case succeeds.
