What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs when an external force causes damage to the brain. This can happen through a variety of incidents, including:

Impact injuries: Direct blows to the head from events like car accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, slip and falls, and sports injuries.
Penetrating injuries: Objects piercing the skull and entering the brain, such as in cases of gunshot wounds.
Blast injuries: Sudden pressure waves from explosions.

The severity of a TBI can range from mild concussions to severe, life-threatening injuries. Common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and changes in mood or behavior.

Brain Injury FAQs

What types of damages can I recover in a TBI case?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more.

How long do I have to file a claim for a TBI?

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims varies by state. In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the incident. It's crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you don't miss any deadlines.

Do I need a lawyer for my TBI case?

Yes, having an experienced attorney on your side is highly recommended. An attorney can navigate complex legal issues, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and fight for your rights.

How can I prove negligence in a TBI case?

Proving negligence involves showing that a responsible party failed to meet a duty of care, directly causing the accident and injury. Evidence such as witness statements, medical records, and expert testimony can help build a strong case. Having an experienced TBI attorney ensures these critical steps are handled effectively.

What should I do immediately after a TBI accident?

Seek medical attention immediately, even if symptoms seem mild. Document the accident by taking photos, gathering witness contact information, and keeping records of medical visits and expenses. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

What happens if I am partially at fault for the accident?

California follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you are partially at fault. However, your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault. An attorney can clarify how this might impact your case.
