Los Angeles Brain Injury Attorney
When you suffer a brain injury, it is not easy to deal with the legal difficulties. Qualified Brain Injury Attorneys in Los Angeles will help you go through this complex process as painlessly as possible, fighting for your rights and justice.
Through their legal expertise, brain injury attorneys from Bojat Law Group will encourage injury victims to fight together for maximum compensation for all their injuries that can be recovered after a serious accident.
What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) defines a TBI as a disruption in the brain’s normal function that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury.
If you notice any of the following health symptoms, it means there has been a change in the normal functioning of your brain:
– Loss of consciousness or reduced consciousness
– Loss of consciousness about the events that preceded the injury (retrograde amnesia)
– Neurological problems such as muscle weakness, loss of balance and coordination, vision problems, changes in speech, and loss of sense.
– Any change in mental state after the injury such as confusion, disorientation, slowed thinking, problems focusing
Focal and Diffuse Traumatic Brain Injury
TBI can show up as either a focal (localized) or a diffuse (widespread) injury. Some people have both traits. There is a focal injury when there is blood, bruising, or penetration; only a small part of the brain is hurt. The most common examples are caused by gunshots.
A diffuse brain injury is when damage spreads across a large area of brain tissue. This damage is usually caused by forces that speed up and slow down the body. The most common causes of widespread injuries are caused by motor vehicle accidents, falls, and sports-related injuries. Working with our Los Angeles slip and fall lawyer can give you a real chance to rebuild, holding those responsible accountable for what happened.
What Can Cause Traumatic Brain Injury?
The leading causes of TBI-related hospitalizations are falls, motor-vehicle traffic incidents, and assaults. Falls make up 40.5%, being struck by or against an object makes up 15.5%, and motor-vehicle traffic crashes make up 14.3% of leading TBI-related hospitalizations. For TBI-related deaths, the leading causes are motor-vehicle traffic incidents with 26%, then suicides, and lastly falls.
With so many brain injuries tied to vehicle accidents—particularly motorcycle crashes—it’s important to have someone in your corner who understands how devastating these cases can be. A knowledgeable Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyer can help navigate the medical complexities and fight for the kind of compensation that actually reflects what you’re going through, both now and in the future.
What Are the Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury?
A wide range of secondary conditions can develop after a TBI, which can lead to long-term damage, cognitive limitation, paralysis, and a lower quality of life. Health symptoms associated with a traumatic brain injury can be broadly categorized into cognitive, behavioral/emotional, motor, sensory, and somatic symptoms. Understanding the specifics of their traumatic brain injury is vital for victims and their families to effectively manage these challenges and seek a suitable traumatic brain injury settlement.
We will now examine the two main types of TBIs: mild and severe, in more detail.
Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries
Although the term “mild” has a clear meaning, mild traumatic brain injuries can have the opposite outcome and consequences. Out of all traumatic brain injuries, 90% are mild. These injuries can result in difficulties with motor functions, such as abnormal eye movements, as well as a slower reaction to external stimuli. Contrary to these subtle symptoms, the impact of mild brain injury on the daily life of the victim can be great and require detailed and urgent medical as well as legal assistance particularly when the injury stems from a traffic incident, such as a bicycle crash. If that’s the case, reaching out to a Los Angeles bicycle accident lawyer can help ensure your claim is handled with care.
These are some of the most common mild brain injury symptoms:
-Headaches
-Nausea and vomiting
-Loss of consciousness for a few seconds or a few minutes
-Dizziness or loss of balance
-Memory problems
– Fatigue
-Sensitivity to light or sound
-Blurred vision, ringing in the ears, bad taste in the mouth
Moderate and Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries
Severe traumatic brain injuries often result from head trauma from crushing blows or penetrating wounds to the head, compromising delicate brain tissue and they account for roughly 10% of all traumatic brain injuries. Such injuries can cause serious psychological symptoms such as confusion, irritability, and anxiety. Future economic damages in this type of incident can be major in order to cover the medical treatment and medical care of the patient.
These are the most common symptoms that indicate severe TBI:
-Loss of consciousness for a few minutes to a few hours
-Constant or worsening headaches
-Frequent vomiting or nausea
– Seizures
-Dilation of one or both pupils
– Clear fluids from the nose or ears
-Inability to awaken from sleep
-Slurred speech
When it comes to serious traumatic brain injury claims, extensive medical documentation is necessary to prove injuries. This can pose a big problem for victims, but not for lawyers who are experienced in such cases, and can make this complex process much easier for those who suffer.
Calculating the True Cost of a Brain Injury
Compensation for TBI injuries is a crucial issue in claims and it may include both economic and non-economic damages such as:
- Ongoing medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of quality of life
Below you can see in detail the differences between economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages in TBI include the following:
– Medical expenses directly following the injury
– Anticipated future medical procedures such as surgeries, medications, therapies, and potential long-term medical care
– Lost income caused by the inability to work due to brain injury, which is calculated with the legal assistance of an experienced lawyer
Non-economic damages refer to subjective losses such as:
- pain and suffering,
- emotional pain
- loss of enjoyment of life
Proving non-economic losses is more complex than economic losses since they are more subjective at their core, and are generally calculated by increasing economic losses by a factor of 1.5-5 depending on the severity of the injuries, as well as the lawyer’s ability to present all the future costs.

The Role of a Los Angeles Brain Injury Lawyer
When navigating the aftermath of a TBI, victims can greatly benefit from the expertise of a Los Angeles brain injury lawyer. These professionals play a pivotal role in:
- Gathering medical records
- Identifying the responsible party
- Calculating the value of losses
- Negotiating with insurance companies
- Proving the impact of the brain injury
They often work on a contingency fee basis, which means they charge clients only if they win the case or secure a settlement, providing financial relief for the victims.
We will now examine in detail their role in pinpointing liable parties and maximizing financial recovery.
Identifying Liable Parties
The process of identifying liable parties in TBI cases can be very complicated, requiring detailed investigation and expert testimony. To prove liability, Los Angeles brain injury attorneys conduct thorough investigations of the occurrence with the assistance of experienced investigators, accident reconstructionists, and other experts to provide the best possible result for the victim.
Depending on the circumstances, different parties may be found liable for TBI injuries, for example:
-Motor vehicle drivers
-Property owners
-Individuals who caused the injury
-Product manufacturers
-Contractors
-Government agencies
