Causes of Traumatic Brain InjuriesÂ
Brain injuries can result from various accidents and incidents, and understanding the common causes is crucial in determining liability. Some common causes may include:
- Car Accidents: Collisions on the road often lead to severe head injuries because of the force involved. We meticulously investigate whether it's a negligent driver or a defective vehicle component to identify responsible parties.
- Slip and Fall Incidents: Uneven surfaces, wet floors, or poorly maintained premises can contribute to slip and fall accidents, leading to traumatic brain injuries. Property owners and managers may be held accountable for such incidents.
- Construction Site Accidents: Workers in the construction industry are susceptible to accidents that can result in traumatic brain injuries. We advocate for injured workers to secure the compensation they deserve for medical costs, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.
- Medical Malpractice: Negligence by healthcare professionals can lead to severe consequences, including brain injuries. We pursue justice on behalf of patients who have suffered harm because of medical errors or malpractice.
- Sports-Related Injuries: Athletes, both amateur and professional, may risk head injuries during sporting activities. When these injuries result from negligence or inadequate safety measures, we stand ready to represent the injured party.

Traumatic Brain Injury Settlements in California

What is the Statute of Limitations for Brain Injury Claims in California?
In the state of California, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including those related to brain injuries, is generally two years from the date of the injury.
However, some exceptions and nuances may impact the timeline, making it essential to consult with an experienced Ventura brain injury lawyer promptly. In cases where the injury is not immediately evident, the statute of limitations could begin from the date the injury is uncovered or reasonably should have been discovered.
It's crucial to act swiftly when pursuing a brain injury claim. Delays can lead to the loss of valuable evidence and may hinder the ability to establish a strong case. At Richard | Bartlett Lawyers, we are dedicated to helping clients navigate these complexities, ensuring that their rights are protected within the legal timeframe.
