Why Choose Gomez Trial Attorneys for Brain Injury Lawsuits in Imperial Beach
At Gomez Trial Attorneys, we combine proven courtroom success with compassionate client service. We know how to document the full impact of a brain injury — from emergency care and rehab to the long-term effects on your career and independence. Our attorneys work with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life-care planners to build strong cases, and we fight aggressively when insurers try to downplay the seriousness of concussions and TBIs.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Imperial Beach
Brain injuries in Imperial Beach often stem from preventable accidents, including:
- Motor vehicle crashes on I-5, Palm Avenue, and the Silver Strand Boulevard
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents along Seacoast Drive and the Bayshore Bikeway
- Falls at hotels, restaurants, or retail areas near Pier Plaza and the Imperial Beach Pier
- Construction and workplace accidents at local job sites
- Nursing home or hospital negligence when residents aren’t properly supervised
Types of Brain Injuries and Their Long-Term Impact
Not every traumatic brain injury looks the same. Some symptoms may appear immediately, while others surface weeks later.
- Mild to Moderate TBIs (concussions, contusions) can cause headaches, confusion, dizziness, and memory issues that last for months. Even daily routines like biking the Bayshore Bikeway, surfing near the Imperial Beach Pier, or playing sports at Dunes Park can become overwhelming.
- Severe TBIs (skull fractures, diffuse axonal injuries, penetrating wounds) may result in permanent disability, loss of independence, and the need for 24-hour care.
- Long-term complications such as epilepsy, chronic migraines, and mood disorders can emerge months or years later. Our attorneys ensure these future costs are factored into your claim.
Who Can Be Held Liable in an Imperial Beach Brain Injury Lawsuit
Determining liability is one of the most critical steps in an Imperial Beach brain injury lawsuit. Depending on the circumstances, responsibility may rest with one or several parties, including:
- Negligent drivers who caused collisions
- Property owners who failed to maintain safe conditions
- Employers or contractors who violated workplace safety standards
- Bars or restaurants that overserved alcohol to a driver who later caused a crash
- Manufacturers of defective vehicles, helmets, or safety equipment
Our attorneys investigate thoroughly to hold every responsible party accountable.
How Our Imperial Beach Brain Injury Lawyers Prove Your Case
We’ve investigated brain injury cases from car accidents on Palm Avenue, slip and falls near the Imperial Beach Pier, and workplace incidents along the Silver Strand. Our team prepares every case for trial, which means building it from the ground up with evidence and expert testimony. That includes:
- Gathering accident reports, surveillance video, and witness statements
- Partnering with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life-care planners
- Using accident reconstruction to connect the mechanics of the incident to the injury
- Creating damages models that account for medical care, lost earning capacity, and future needs
This trial-ready approach puts pressure on insurers to settle fairly — and positions us to win in court if necessary.

- Emergency treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care
- Home health services, mobility aids, and home modifications
- Lost wages and reduced future earning potential
- Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Punitive damages in cases involving reckless or gross negligence
Frequently Asked Questions About Imperial Beach Brain Injury Lawsuits
How long do I have to file a brain injury lawsuit in California?
Under California law, you typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If your brain injury case involves a government agency—for example, a fall on city-maintained property near Pier Plaza—you may have just six months to file an administrative claim. Because these rules are strict and missing a deadline can end your case, it’s critical to speak with a brain injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident.
What if I was partly at fault for my accident in Imperial Beach?
You can still recover damages even if you were partly responsible, thanks to California’s comparative negligence law. You can still recover damages, but your award is reduced by your share of fault. For example, if you were biking along the Bayshore Bikeway and were found 20% at fault in a collision with a distracted driver, your compensation would be reduced by that percentage. Courts regularly award damages in shared-fault situations, so never assume you have no case.
Do I need a lawyer for a concussion?
Absolutely. A concussion might be labeled “mild,” but it can still cause cognitive difficulties, mood swings, and sensitivity to light/noise that interfere with everyday life. We’ve represented Imperial Beach residents whose concussions prevented them from surfing at the pier, biking local paths, or returning to their jobs. Insurance companies are notorious for downplaying these injuries. Having a lawyer ensures your long-term medical and financial needs are fully represented in your claim.
What if my TBI symptoms appeared days or weeks later?
It’s very common for traumatic brain injury (TBI) symptoms to be delayed. After an accident, adrenaline and shock can mask the warning signs of a brain injury. In the days or weeks that follow, you might begin noticing issues like headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, blurred vision, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, mood swings, or fatigue.
Because these symptoms don’t always show up right away, insurance companies sometimes argue that they aren’t related to the accident. That’s why it’s so important to see a doctor immediately after any head injury—even if you feel “fine” at first—and to return for follow-up care if new problems arise.
If you suspect you may have a delayed brain injury, don’t wait. Get medical treatment to protect your health and contact an experienced brain injury lawyer who can document your condition, connect it to the accident, and fight back against insurer attempts to minimize your claim.
