California Brain Injury Lawyer

Attorney reviewed by Morgan D. Ross, Esq. HellaHurt is powered by Counterpoint Legal. A traumatic brain injury claim may depend on careful medical documentation, evidence preservation, and the correct filing deadline.

What to Protect After a California Brain Injury

  1. Seek appropriate medical evaluation and retain discharge instructions, test results, and treatment records.
  2. Keep a symptom and appointment log; family observations may help document functional changes over time.
  3. Preserve crash reports, photographs, damaged property, insurer letters, and wage-loss documentation.
  4. Do not agree to a recorded insurer statement or settlement before you understand the medical outlook and available coverage.

California Claim Deadlines

A personal-injury lawsuit generally has a two-year deadline under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. A claim involving a public entity generally must be presented within six months under Government Code section 911.2. Specific facts and limited exceptions can affect timing.
