A preventable accident resulting in a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be devastating. Our compassionate legal team could help you manage unexpected changes while protecting your future. At Levian Law, our catastrophic injury attorneys strive to bring restorative justice to families victimized by senseless accidents and prioritize clear communication so you always know the status of your case.
We also bring both empathy and personal experience to your case. In 2008, attorney Kevin Levian and his younger brother were involved in a horrific traffic accident. Kevin survived, but his brother did not. If you choose to work with a Fullerton traumatic brain injury lawyer at our firm, we will seek a fair outcome for you the same way we would demand justice for our own family.
State law allows you to recover financial compensation in a negligence claim when someone fails to exercise a duty of care, and you are injured as a result, pursuant to California Civil Code § 1714. Accidents causing TBIs in Fullerton could include
We could listen to your account and help you build a strong, well-documented case to hold the negligent parties accountable for their actions and pursue the justice you deserve. We focus on pursuing maximum compensation that accounts for both your current and future losses related to your injury.
You may recover economic and noneconomic damages for a traumatic brain injury claim in Fullerton under Cal. Civ. Code § 3333. The law provides a just and reasonable financial award to compensate for the devastating effects of your trauma.
Economic damages account for your measurable financial costs such as past and future medical costs from initial care to lifelong rehabilitation, lost earnings and earning capacity when you are unable to return to work, and household services for cognitive or physical limitations in your home.
Noneconomic damages reflect the emotional toll of your injuries, such as:
The state does not place a limit on the amount of losses a jury may award. We could build a strong case for compensation to maximize your recovery of damages.
A qualified brain injury attorney can guide you through the procedural steps of asserting your claim, including abiding by the statute of limitations. Under Cal. Civ. Code § 335.1, you have two years from your accident to file a negligence claim.
However, in the event of a medical error such as a surgical mistake, the timeline is governed by California Code of Civil Procedure § 340.5. In medical malpractice scenarios, the deadline is only one year after you discover the injury or three years after the date the injury occurred. Working with a lawyer ensures your case will not be dismissed prematurely due to a technicality.
After sustaining a serious brain injury, you or your loved ones must face medical, legal, financial, and emotional concerns that require your immediate attention. Do not attempt to manage all these challenges alone. Let our compassionate attorneys guide you through the legal process.
By partnering with a Fullerton traumatic brain injury lawyer, you can focus on rehabilitating while we focus on securing compensation for your current and long-term needs. Call Levian Law today for your free consultation.
