FAQ

What is the statute of limitations for a brain injury lawsuit in California?

In California, personal injury claims, including TBIs, must typically be filed within two years from the date of injury.

How much compensation can I receive for a brain injury?

Compensation varies depending on the severity of the injury, medical costs, lost income, and future care needs. Some cases result in multi-million dollar settlements for lifetime care expenses. Factors like lost earning potential, ongoing therapy, and quality of life adjustments also contribute to the final compensation amount.

Can I file a lawsuit on behalf of a loved one with a severe brain injury?

Yes, family members can file a claim on behalf of an injured loved one, especially if they are unable to represent themselves due to cognitive impairment. Appointing a legal guardian can help ensure the victim receives the compensation and care they deserve.

How long does a brain injury lawsuit take?

The length of a brain injury lawsuit depends on the complexity of the case, the willingness of the opposing party to settle, and court schedules. Some cases resolve within months, while others may take years. An experienced attorney can help expedite the process while ensuring maximum compensation.

What if my brain injury occurred at work?

If you suffered a TBI at work, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. However, if a third party, such as an equipment manufacturer or negligent contractor, contributed to the injury, you may also have a personal injury claim.
