Legal Advocacy for Traumatic Brain Injuries in California

•What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A TBI occurs when an external force disrupts normal brain function. These injuries are classified as:

• Mild (such as concussions)
• Moderate
• Severe (involving extended unconsciousness or memory loss)

While mild TBIs may heal over time, moderate and severe injuries can lead to permanent cognitive, physical, and emotional impairments.

•Common Causes of TBI

Traumatic brain injuries can occur in a variety of everyday situations, including:

• Motor vehicle collisions
• Motorcycle or bicycle crashes
• Falls from heights or slip and fall incidents
• Construction accidents
• Assaults or blows to the head
• Pedestrian accidents

Many of these accidents are preventable and result from someone else’s negligence — whether it’s a distracted driver, unsafe property condition, or lack of proper workplace safety.

•Symptoms and Long-Term Effects

TBI symptoms vary depending on the severity and location of the injury but can include:

• Headaches, dizziness, and confusion
• Memory loss and difficulty concentrating
• Mood swings, depression, or anxiety
• Seizures or sensitivity to light/sound
• Difficulty speaking, walking, or performing daily tasks

For many victims, recovery involves extensive medical care, therapy, and lifestyle changes — all of which carry substantial costs and emotional strain.
