A traumatic brain injury can result from a blow to the head or a violent jolt that disrupts brain function. Symptoms may include headaches, memory problems, confusion, balance issues, and changes in mood or personality. A thorough medical and legal review helps determine liability and the best path to compensation.
California generally allows two years to file a personal injury claim, with some exceptions. If a minor is involved, the deadline may extend, and certain claims have different rules for discovery and tolling. A local attorney can explain how these rules apply to your situation.
Possible compensation includes medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. The amount depends on injury severity, evidence, and the ability to prove liability.
Many TBI cases settle through negotiations, but some may go to trial if a fair agreement cannot be reached. Your attorney can provide guidance on the best path based on the evidence and goals.
Fault can be established through police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions. Comparative negligence may reduce your recovery if you share some responsibility for the accident.
Bring documentation of medical treatment, accident details, insurance information, and a list of questions you want answered. A first meeting helps us assess your case and next steps.
Some cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation. We discuss fees upfront and in writing.
