In California alone, thousands of individuals suffer from brain injuries annually, with many facing lifelong consequences.
The aftermath of a brain injury is fraught with challenges, both for the injured individual and their loved ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of brain injuries do you handle?
We handle the full range, from concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries to severe and anoxic injuries caused by crashes, falls, and other incidents.
Why should I see a doctor if I feel fine after a head injury?
Brain injury symptoms like headaches, memory problems, and mood changes can appear days later. Prompt evaluation protects your health and documents the injury.
How is a brain injury case valued?
Value reflects lifelong needs, including future medical and rehabilitation care, lost earning capacity, and the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral impact on you and your family.
What evidence proves a brain injury?
Imaging, neuropsychological testing, treating-provider records, and testimony from medical and life-care experts help establish the injury and its long-term effects.
What if the injury made a pre-existing condition worse?
Under California's eggshell-plaintiff rule, you can recover for the full extent of how the incident worsened a prior condition.
How long do I have to file a brain injury claim in California?
Generally two years, though special rules can apply for minors or where the injury was not immediately discovered, so get advice early.
Do I really need a lawyer for a brain injury claim?
These are complex, high-value cases that insurers fight hard. Experienced counsel and the right experts make a meaningful difference.
How much does a brain injury lawyer cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, so you owe no attorney's fees unless we recover, and the consultation is free.
Who can be held responsible for a brain injury?
It depends on the cause, and may include a negligent driver, a property owner, an employer, or a product manufacturer.
Do you handle catastrophic brain injury cases statewide?
Yes. We represent people with serious brain injuries throughout California.
