• Seek Emergency Medical Attention: Your health is the priority; immediately visit an ER or specialist to diagnose potential brain trauma, as symptoms can often be delayed.

• Report the Incident: Ensure the accident is officially documented by filing a police report or notifying the property owner to establish a formal record of the event.

• Gather Scene Evidence: If possible, take photos of the hazard and collect contact information from any witnesses who saw the incident occur.

• Follow Medical Directives: Adhere strictly to all physician-ordered treatments and follow-up appointments to create a continuous "paper trail" of your recovery.

• Consult a Brain Injury Attorney: Contact a brain injury attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters to protect your rights and ensure your claim is protected under California's strict statutes of limitations.

Proving liability involves a deep-dive investigation to identify all negligent parties. This includes gathering police reports, surveillance footage, and witness statements to establish a "duty of care" that was breached.

Because brain injuries are often "invisible," a strong case requires comprehensive documentation from specialists like neurologists and neuropsychologists. Essential evidence includes:

• Imaging results (MRIs, CT scans, and DTI) showing structural damage.

• Neurological assessments evaluating cognitive function and memory.

• Specialist evaluations documenting long-term psychological and physical impacts.

You can seek both economic and non-economic damages. This includes current and future medical bills, lost earning capacity, and the cost of lifelong rehabilitation. You are also entitled to compensation for non-monetary losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life.

In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, if the injury involves a government entity, you may have as little as six months to file an initial claim. Because brain injury symptoms can be delayed, it is critical to consult an attorney immediately to protect your rights.

Insurance companies often try to minimize the long-term costs of a TBI. Aggressive negotiation and litigation, if necessary, ensure that these companies are held accountable for the full scope of your future needs. Being trial-ready signals to insurers that you will not accept a lowball offer that fails to cover lifelong medical care and specialized rehabilitation.

Navigating a brain injury claim requires more than just standard legal advice; it requires a specialized, multi-front strategy to ensure your long-term needs are met:

• Expert Liability Investigation:We perform a "deep-dive" investigation to identify all negligent parties. By gathering police reports, surveillance footage, and witness statements, we build a solid foundation to prove who is legally responsible for your injury.

• Medical Collaboration & Validation: We work closely with medical experts, including neurologists and neuropsychologists, to ensure you receive a formal Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) diagnosis. This collaboration is vital for documenting the full clinical extent of your neurological and psychological injuries.

• Treatment Documentation: Our team ensures your ongoing medical treatment is meticulously recorded. This creates a clear "paper trail" of evidence that connects your symptoms directly to the accident, making it much harder for insurance companies to dispute your claim.

• Aggressive Advocacy for Full Damages: We track all economic and non-economic losses, from immediate medical bills to lifelong rehabilitation and lost earning capacity. We utilize aggressive negotiation and trial-ready litigation to hold insurance companies accountable and secure the maximum compensation you deserve.
