How a Perris Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help

Hiring a Perris brain injury lawyer can make a significant difference in the success of your claim. Here’s how we can assist you:

Legal Knowledge and Case Evaluation

Brain injury cases involve multiple liable parties, including drivers, property owners, medical professionals, and employers. A Perris accident lawyer evaluates the case, identifies all responsible parties, and determines the best course of legal action.

Comprehensive Investigation

Strong evidence in a brain injury case is essential in proving negligence and securing compensation. A thorough investigation includes:

• Collecting medical records to establish the severity and long-term effects of the injury.
• Reviewing accident reports and surveillance footage to determine liability.
• Obtaining witness statements to strengthen the case.
• Consulting medical and financial experts to assess long-term damages.

Maximizing Compensation

Brain injuries can lead to significant financial burdens, including medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term disability. Compensation may cover:

• Immediate and future medical treatment
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Lost income and diminished earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

Negotiation and Trial Representation

Insurance companies often attempt to settle claims for less than they are worth. A skilled negotiator advocates for a fair settlement, ensuring that all damages are accounted for. If a settlement cannot be reached, experienced trial representation increases the likelihood of securing maximum compensation in court.

California Laws That Apply to Brain Injury Claims

Negligence Laws (California Civil Code Section 1714(a))

To hold someone legally responsible for your injury, you must prove that they acted negligently. This means showing that:

• They had a duty of care to act responsibly.
• They breached that duty through reckless or negligent behavior.
• Their actions caused your brain injury.

Comparative Fault Rule

California follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning:

• You can recover damages even if you were partially at fault.
• Your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

Example: If you are awarded $500,000 but found 20% at fault, you would receive $400,000.

Statute of Limitations for Brain Injury Claims

The statute of limitations in California for personal injury claims, including TBI cases, is two years from the date of the injury (California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1). If the injury was caused by medical malpractice, the time limit may differ. Filing within this timeframe is crucial to protect your right to compensation.
