Schedule NowLet Our San Diego Brain Injury Attorneys Build a Compelling Case for Compensation
Brain injuries are among the most common injuries our San Diego catastrophic injury lawyers see. Clients and their families come to us for help seeking compensation and holding at-fault parties accountable. This requires us to understand their injuries, lasting impairments, damages, and the cause of their accident.
Traumatic brain injuries can occur in many ways and involve almost any area of the brain. From injuries caused by a seemingly minor blow to the head to penetrating injuries, each has its causes, symptoms, and lasting effects. Some common types of brain injuries include:
- Concussions
- Extra-axial hematomas, including epidural hematomas (EDH) and subdural hematomas (SDH)
- Contusions, often from coup or contrecoup injuries
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)
- Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI)
Any of these injuries can occur in a negligence accident. Our lawyers represent victims in cases based on:
- Auto collisions
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck crashes
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian collisions
- Premises liability injuries
- Slip and falls
We also manage other types of personal injury cases. If your brain injury occurred because of someone else’s negligence, we are here for you. Let us review your case facts to determine how we can help today for free.
When we take on a brain injury claim, we need to identify, preserve, and analyze the available evidence. This supports our case and helps us convince the liable party, their insurance carrier, and the judge or jury that our client deserves fair compensation. Without solid evidence to show negligence occurred, we cannot recover the money our clients need to cover their medical treatment, rehabilitation, care, and support costs.
Four elements must occur for negligence to cause an accident and injury. They include:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Harm
To win a case, we must have evidence that the accused party owed our client a specific duty of care, but they failed to do as required. This caused the incident, and our client was hurt as a result. For example, imagine a crash. A driver owes a duty of care to follow all traffic laws. However, they run a red light. Their failure to stop causes an intersection accident, and our client suffers a concussion.
The evidence that might exist in this case could include:
- A police accident report
- Other official reports filed by other first responders
- Eyewitness statements
- Video of the accident
- An accident scene survey
- Photos from the crash scene
- The victim’s relevant medical records
- Expert information from doctors, specialists, and other medical professionals
- Documentation of damages
Our San Diego personal injury lawyers will use the evidence we uncover in our investigation to support settlement negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance carrier or at a jury trial. We aim to recover the money our client needs to support their care and recovery, whether that is complete healing or living the best quality of life possible with lasting impairments from their brain injury.

How Soon Should I Talk to a San Diego Personal Injury Lawyer About My Brain Injury Case?
Under CCP § 335.1, victims hurt in California negligence accidents usually have up to two years to initiate a lawsuit. However, this is not the primary factor when it comes to when you want to hire a lawyer to manage your brain injury case.
We advise hiring our personal injury law firm to protect your rights and build a convincing case as soon as possible after your accident. Your free case review can occur as soon as your injuries allow you to make the call or when a family member reaches out on behalf of a loved one with catastrophic injuries, such as a TBI.
Insurance companies want to close these cases quickly before victims recognize the severity of their injuries and the costs of managing their care and living with lasting impairments. In addition, these cases often have a lot of time-sensitive evidence. If we do not act quickly to preserve it, we could lose crucial proof of what happened and who is responsible.
It’s free to speak with us and learn the value of your case today.
