Riverside’s economy is powered by warehouse and logistics hubs, busy distribution corridors, and expanding construction—conditions that often drive worksite TBIs, truck collisions, and falls on commercial premises. Our team routinely investigates incidents tied to loading docks, forklifts, and delivery traffic, in addition to freeway crashes.
Riverside’s busy corridors — I-215, SR-91, and SR-60 — and high-activity zones around workplaces, shopping centers, and construction sites contribute to serious crashes and falls. Many victims are treated at Riverside Community Hospital or RUHS Medical Center; those records often become critical evidence in a TBI claim.
Why Choose Our Riverside Brain Injury & Head Injury Lawyers
Brain injury cases are complex and often contested. You need a firm that understands both medicine and litigation and treats your case like it’s going to trial.
- Trial-ready advocacy: Insurers know we’re prepared to take your case to a jury.

- $16.2M — premises fall resulting in TBI
- $13.5M — freeway auto collision TBI
- $12.3M — documented “mild” TBI verdict
- Client-first service: We handle insurers and paperwork so you can focus on healing.
- No upfront fees: You pay nothing unless we win.
Led by founding attorney John Gomez, our award-winning team is recognized among California’s top trial lawyers for catastrophic injury litigation. We regularly litigate cases filed in Riverside Superior Court and understand local procedures, judge expectations, and evidentiary preferences—an advantage that can influence strategy, timelines, and outcomes.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Riverside
TBIs in Riverside often stem from high-speed freeway impacts, warehouse and distribution-related incidents, and falls at retail centers or apartment complexes—not just direct blows to the head.
- Car and truck collisions on the 91/60/215 corridors
- Motorcycle and bicycle crashes
- Slip & fall accidents on dangerous property (stores, apartments, parking lots)
- Construction and worksite incidents
- Assaults and other violent acts
- Rideshare and bus accidents
- Warehouse, loading dock, and forklift incidents (third-party liability often applies)
If your situation isn’t listed, we’ll still evaluate liability and available insurance.
Signs & Symptoms to Watch For
Seek medical care immediately if you notice:
- Headache, dizziness, nausea, or light sensitivity
- Memory gaps or confusion about the incident
- Vision changes, balance problems, or sleep issues
- Mood changes, irritability, or trouble concentrating
- Loss of consciousness (even briefly)
Early diagnosis helps your recovery and your claim. Keep discharge papers and referrals.
What Compensation Can a TBI Claim Include?
A successful claim can help you cover urgent and long-term needs, including:
- Medical care (ER, imaging, hospitalization, neurology) and rehabilitation (PT/OT/speech/cognitive)
- Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
- Non-economic losses: pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life
- Home/vehicle modifications, in-home support
- Wrongful death damages in fatal cases
Every case is unique. We coordinate with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life-care planners to document future needs and pursue full value. For Riverside clients, we coordinate documentation across regional trauma centers, outpatient neuro clinics, and rehabilitation providers, ensuring your future care needs are fully captured in life-care plans.

FAQs About Riverside Brain Injury Claims
How do I know if I have a case?
If another person, business, or property owner’s negligence led to your injury (e.g., distracted driving, unsafe premises, careless contractor), you may have a claim. Bring crash/incident reports, medical records, and photos to your free consultation. We’ll assess liability and next steps.
How long do I have to file?
Most California personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. Public-entity claims (e.g., injuries involving government-operated roads, vehicles, or facilities) often require a government claim within six months before a lawsuit can be filed. Contact an attorney quickly so evidence and timelines are preserved.
Can I recover for a concussion?
Yes. “Mild” TBIs can still cause chronic headaches, memory issues, and mood changes that interrupt work and family life. Proper diagnosis and documentation are key to recovering compensation for treatment and lost income.
What if my brain injury happened at work?
You may receive workers’ compensation benefits, and you might also have a third-party claim if a driver, subcontractor, or manufacturer contributed to your injury. Coordinating both can significantly increase your total recovery.
Do Riverside warehouse or construction TBIs qualify for more than workers’ comp?
Yes. If a third party (e.g., subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or delivery carrier) contributed to your injury, you can pursue a separate personal injury claim in addition to workers’ comp—often significantly increasing your total recovery.
