CALIFORNIA TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY ATTORNEY
A traumatic brain injury, commonly known as a “TBI”, can often result when the head or body is struck or jolted. Brain injuries can range from “mild,” such as a concussion, to “severe,” such as those that result in significant brain damage or skull fractures. Regardless of the classification, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention following a brain injury, as even the mildest brain injury can result in life-long disabilities and life-changing effects. Victims of “mild” brain injuries often remain unaware of impactful changes, which can result in the loss of employment, loved ones, or enjoyment.
If you or a loved one has been in any type of accident and believe you may have suffered a traumatic brain injury, regardless of the onset of symptoms, you should immediately seek medical care.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
After an accident, victims of traumatic brain injury may experience some of the following symptoms:
- Blurred or double vision
- Confusion or disorientation
- Decreased consciousness
- Difficulty with memory or concentration
- Dizziness or balance issues
- Headache
- Mood changes or unusual behavior
- Nausea or vomiting
- Hearing loss or ringing in the ears
- Sensitivity to light or sound

However, it is important to remember that not all brain injuries result in immediate onset of symptoms. In some cases, there are no evident symptoms for several days or weeks.

- Car accidents or other motor vehicle injuries
- Assaults

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
After sustaining a traumatic brain injury or any type of head injury, ensure your safety and seek immediate medical attention. It is possible that you may not experience any symptoms in the days or even weeks following the injury, but it is crucial for your well-being to get medically cleared. You should document the scene of the incident where your injury occurred by taking photos and gathering contact information from any witnesses. It is important to contact a traumatic brain injury attorney to guide you through the legal process and protect your rights. You should refrain from speaking with insurance carriers or third parties regarding the incident prior to consulting with a traumatic brain injury attorney. A traumatic brain injury attorney will guide you through every step to ensure you get the right medical care and effectively handle your claim.
A traumatic brain injury attorney can help you by evaluating your case, gathering evidence, and negotiating with insurance companies on your behalf. They can provide legal advice, represent you in court if necessary, and work to ensure you receive fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Compensation for a traumatic brain injury can include medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the responsible party for particularly egregious behavior.
The time limit to file any personal injury lawsuit, which includes traumatic brain injuries, is commonly known as the statute of limitations. In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits is two years from the date the injury or incident occurred. It is important to consult with a traumatic brain injury attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is pursued promptly and maximize the compensation you deserve.
Avoid these common mistakes in a traumatic brain injury case: not seeking immediate medical attention, failing to document the incident, speaking to insurance adjusters or other third parties without legal representation, accepting a quick settlement, and delaying legal action. Consulting with a traumatic brain injury attorney can help you avoid these mistakes.
