Common Causes and Types of Brain Injuries in California
Brain trauma can be caused by a plethora of accidents and incidents, including, but not limited to:
- A bicyclist or pedestrian suffering impact from a motor vehicle;
- Train accidents;
- Truck accidents;
- Head-on collisions;
- Workplace accidents;
- Construction accidents;
- Head-on collisions;
- Rollovers.
Any of these examples are common in California and elsewhere, and may cause any number of specific brain injuries, such as skull fractures, diffuse axonal injuries, intracranial hematoma, and concussions. The California brain injury attorneys at Kermani LLP can handle these brain cases and more.
Recognizing Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Brain injury symptoms may take time to manifest and might not be readily apparent until weeks or months after the inciting incident. Loved ones should keep an eye out for the following symptoms of a traumatic brain injury:
- Changes in emotions;
- Irritability or mood swings;
- Difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep;
- Difficulty maintaining focus;
- Depression;
- Confusion;
- Loss of consciousness or balance;
- Slurred speech;
- Slurred vision;
- Headaches;
- Coordination issues;
- General disorientation.
If you or your loved ones experience any of the above symptoms, immediate medical attention is in order. The brain injury could require anything from emergency care to time for recovery; the right course of action depends on the severity. After you receive treatment, you should put your trust in the California brain injury lawyers at Kermani LLP to fight on your behalf in the legal arena.
Pursuing Compensation for Brain Injury Victims
Most brain injuries are catastrophic affairs that leave a considerable negative impact on the emotions and physical health of brain injury victims. This makes brain injury cases uniquely valuable for personal injury claims. The value of a brain injury case is proportional to the extent of the damages suffered, so a life-altering injury will be worth more than a minor one.
Hiring a brain injury attorney in California will help you recover potentially thousands of dollars of damages for lost wages, lost quality of life, medical bills, and much more. Trust Kermani LLP to stand up for you in court against the parties liable for your injury and insurance companies who may deny your claim.
Specialized Legal Support for Brain Injury Victims in California
The brain is indisputably the most complex organ of the human body. As such, injuries to the brain are the most challenging to diagnose and treat. It can be difficult for doctors to provide a prognosis since the short-term and long-term effects of brain trauma are extremely unpredictable.
Brain tissue cannot heal as nearly any other bodily tissue can. When your skin is cut, the tissue mends and seals itself shut after scarring over. The brain does not work this way, so other brain cells must work overtime to compensate for cells damaged in a brain injury. As such, these injuries often require lifelong medical care and potentially even around-the-clock attention.
The California brain injury lawyers at Kermani LLP understand the intricacies of living with a brain injury, both for the victim of the accident and their family. This understanding allows Kermani LLP to provide you with the exact legal support brain injury victims need. Their brain injury attorneys in California will work with you to secure the financial lifeline you need to compensate for your lost wages, cover your hospital bills and ongoing medical care, and pay down other costs associated with your brain trauma. At the end of the day, the goal of Kermani LLP is to recover enough compensation to allow you to move on with your life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average traumatic brain injury (TBI) settlement in California?
Traumatic brain injuries usually result in substantial losses, especially if the individual is unable to return to work and needs an extended period to recover. That said, the average TBI settlement in California is usually around $100,000. The value of your case depends on your specific losses and the extent of your injury.
What types of compensation can I seek for a brain injury in California?
After a brain injury accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you can seek out compensation in the form of:
- Medical expenses.
- Expected future medical costs.
- Pain and suffering.
- A loss of income and possibly an inability to return to work.
- Emotional distress.
- Any other losses that occurred as a result of your accident or injury.
Typically, you will be able to file for a compensation award that’s equal to the value of your losses. You won’t be able to recover more than you lost. To ensure that you consider all your potential losses, it’s often best to consult with an attorney about what happened.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a brain injury lawsuit in California?
After the accident that caused your TBI, you have up to two years to file a lawsuit in California. If you don’t bring a legal claim within that time frame, then your right to get compensated for your losses could disappear forever.
What evidence is needed to support a brain injury claim?
In a brain injury claim situation, you’ll need to provide evidence that backs up all of the following elements:
- The responsible party had a legal duty to provide for your safety and care.
- The responsible party failed to uphold their legal duty of care.
- This failure to provide for your safety caused your accident.
- The accident led to brain injury and losses.
If you’re not sure what types of evidence to collect to prove these factors, then consider speaking with an attorney.
How does a lawyer calculate the value of a brain injury case?
The value of a brain injury claim is determined based on the evidence you produce to show your losses. Your lawyer will calculate your economic losses by adding up the total value of all of the documents, receipts, and bills you produce. Next, the impact of your non-economic losses will be considered. Typically, the sum of your economic losses will be multiplied by a factor between 1.5 and 5 to determine the value of your non-economic losses. Finally, a lawyer will consider your percentage of fault in the accident if you contributed to causing the accident.
What challenges might I face in proving a brain injury claim in California?
Since a brain injury claim usually involves substantial losses, you’ll have to be diligent in providing evidence and proof that backs up your claims. The other party may attempt to minimize the extent of your injury or fight back against your claims. Depending on the severity of your injury, it might be a good idea to hire a medical expert who can testify regarding the extent of your injury and your expected future losses.
How can a brain injury lawyer assist me throughout the legal process in California?
Throughout your claim, you can lean on your attorney’s knowledge, expertise, and experience to help guide you to a more favorable legal outcome.
