Common Causes of Brain Injuries We Handle

Brain injuries can happen in seconds — often during routine activities or preventable accidents. Understanding what caused your injury helps us identify all responsible parties and insurance sources for recovery. Our Garden Grove attorneys regularly handle cases involving:

• Motor vehicle crashes (cars, trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians)
• Falls on dangerous property (stores, apartments, parking lots)
• Work and construction incidents
• Sports and recreation impacts
• Assaults and other violent acts

If your injury involved a different circumstance, we can still help evaluate liability and insurance coverage.

What Compensation Can a Brain Injury Claim Include?

Recovering from a TBI is expensive and lifelong. The value of your case depends on the nature of your traumatic brain injury (TBI), available insurance coverage, and the long-term costs of care. A successful brain injury claim can help you pay for medical treatment, lost income, and long-term care needs while providing financial stability for your family. Depending on your case, compensation may cover:

• Medical care (ER, hospitalization, imaging, neurosurgery, rehabilitation)
• Therapies (physical, occupational, speech, cognitive) and assistive devices
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Non-economic losses such as pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
• Home or vehicle modifications and in-home support

In wrongful death cases, families may also recover funeral costs and related losses — see our California personal injury case results.

FAQs: Garden Grove Brain Injury Lawsuits

Even with strong evidence, brain injury cases raise many practical questions about process, value, and timelines. Below are some of the most common questions we hear from Garden Grove residents.

How do I know if I have a case?

If another person or company’s carelessness caused your injury, you may have a claim. Bring any crash reports, incident reports, and medical records to your consult.

What is my case worth?

Value depends on liability strength, insurance limits, the severity of your cognitive or functional deficits, and long-term care needs. We calculate both economic and non-economic damages and back them with expert testimony.

How long do I have to file?

California generally allows two years from the date of injury (shorter deadlines may apply for government claims). Talk to us as soon as possible so evidence isn’t lost.

What if I had a concussion?

“Mild” TBIs can still cause serious, lasting symptoms like headaches, memory issues, or mood changes. A concussion can support a valid claim when properly diagnosed and linked to the incident.

What if my injury happened at work?

Most on-the-job TBIs go through workers’ compensation. If a third party also contributed (for example, a negligent driver or contractor), we can pursue a separate personal injury claim.
