Roseville Brain Injury Attorney

Dedicated Representation for Brain Injury Victims Across California

According to the Brain Injury Association of America, approximately 1.4 million people sustain a brain injury every year in the United States. While some may recover from this catastrophic injury, others may never be able to return to their way of life. Unlike most body tissues, the brain can’t regenerate its cells. Once damaged, their functions can be lost forever. Victims usually suffer permanent problems with their movements, senses, cognitive abilities, and personalities.

At the Law Offices of Larry S. Buckley, we realize the extent of damages that can result from such injuries, and our Roseville brain injury lawyers want to ensure you get the best care possible. In some cases, victims may require around-the-clock medical attention, so fighting tooth and nail is essential to recover the compensation required.

Common Causes and Symptoms of Brain Injuries

A brain injury can occur with or without direct trauma to the head. Symptoms include loss of consciousness, confusion, dizziness, blurred vision, trouble concentrating, lightheadedness, mood changes, vomiting, slurred speech, numbness, seizures, and loss of coordination. Each year, thousands sustain injuries in all types of accidents, including: 

• Car accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Construction accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Bicycle accidents

Often, these incidents result from the reckless or negligent actions of other parties. For example, a distracted driver who hits a pedestrian or a business owner who fails to warn a customer about a hazard may be liable for their injuries. Trauma during childbirth and medication errors can also result in a brain injury.

Types of Damages in Brain Injury Cases

Individuals who suffer brain injuries may be qualified for different types of compensation based on the details of their case. Common damages in a brain injury claim may include:

• Medical Costs: This covers immediate and ongoing medical costs associated with the brain injury, including hospital fees, surgical procedures, rehabilitation, and long-term care needs.
• Loss of Earnings: Reimbursement for income lost during recovery and any future earning potential affected by the injury.
• Pain and Suffering: Payment for the physical discomfort and emotional distress caused by the injury.
• Diminished Quality of Life: If an injury restricts your ability to participate in activities that once brought you joy, you may be eligible for compensation to address this loss.
• Loss of Relationships: Brain injuries can profoundly impact personal relationships, and compensation may be available for the emotional and social effects on your family members and spouse.
• Punitive Damages: If the defendant's actions were intentional or demonstrated gross negligence, punitive damages might be granted to penalize the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.

At the Law Offices of Larry S. Buckley, we are concentrated on helping you obtain the full compensation you're entitled to, considering the full scope of your injury, recovery process, and future needs.

Statute of Limitations for Brain Injury Claims in California

In California, if you or someone you care about suffers a brain injury due to an accident, it's crucial to act promptly, as there is a legal deadline for filing a lawsuit. For personal injury cases, including brain injuries, the statute of limitations is typically two years from the injury date or when the injury is discovered. Missing this deadline could result in the dismissal of your case, making it impossible to recover compensation. It's crucial to seek guidance from an experienced attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is properly filed and your rights are safeguarded.
