A traumatic brain injury (TBI) results from a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that disrupts brain function. Severity can range from concussion to more serious injuries, and outcomes vary widely.
In California, most personal injury claims, including TBIs, must be filed within two years of the injury date. Some exceptions apply depending on the situation.
While you can file a claim on your own, TBIs involve complex medical and legal issues. A lawyer can help determine eligibility, gather evidence, and negotiate a fair settlement.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and future care costs. An attorney can help quantify these damages.
Bring identification, accident details, medical records, bills, and any insurance communications. Photos or witness information can also help.
Compensation considers medical costs, rehabilitation, lost income, future care needs, and non-economic damages like pain and mental impact.
Many cases settle before trial, but some may proceed to court if a fair agreement cannot be reached. Your lawyer will guide decisions.
We provide clear communication, personalized case strategies, and diligent preparation to support clients through recovery.
Public benefits can affect settlements; discuss potential interactions with your attorney to protect benefits and ensure fair compensation.
Contacting a lawyer soon after injury helps preserve evidence, meet statute deadlines, and plan next steps.
