Proving Fault for a Traumatic Brain Injury in California
In every personal injury case, the injured plaintiff must prove how their injury happened and accurately identify the party or parties responsible before they can collect compensation for their damages. Whether a traumatic brain injury resulting from a car accident, an incident at work, an act of violence, or a slip-and-fall accident, proving fault will be a crucial first step in recovering compensation for the resulting damages.
Your California traumatic brain injury lawyer can help you collect the evidence and witness testimony needed to firmly establish fault for your injury. The plaintiff will need to prove that the defendant in their case was negligent or broke the law in a way that directly caused their traumatic brain injury. They must then show the full extent of the resulting damages and prove that they resulted directly from the defendant’s actions.
It’s vital to remember that California upholds a pure comparative negligence rule. This rule applies to any personal injury case in which multiple parties share fault for the damages cited in the case. In the event a plaintiff is found partially liable for their brain injury, the fault percentage assigned to them will be deducted from their case award, and they will keep the remainder. Consult your attorney if you have concerns about comparative fault in your injury case.
Claiming Compensation for a Traumatic Brain Injury
If you can successfully establish liability for your traumatic brain injury, California’s personal injury laws enable you to seek full compensation for all of the losses they inflicted. In any personal injury case, the injured plaintiff has the right to seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are generally straightforward, but non-economic damages can be more difficult to understand.
In a traumatic brain injury case, the injured plaintiff has the right to claim full repayment of any and all medical expenses pertaining to their injury. This not only includes the cost of any immediate care they need but also ongoing medical treatment costs. Many brain injury victims will require extensive rehabilitative care, and some may need constant in-home medical support. Your attorney can help you calculate all your claimable medical expenses.
The victim of a brain injury may be unable to work for an extended time while they recover. It is also possible that they will be unable to work at all due to the severity of their injury, or a family member may need to leave their job to care for the victim.
The plaintiff has the right to seek compensation for lost income and lost future earning capacity from the defendant who caused their brain injury. If the defendant also damaged any of the victim’s property, they can be held accountable for repair and replacement costs.
Non-economic damages in a traumatic brain injury case include physical pain, emotional suffering, and psychological trauma. A brain injury can cause a host of painful symptoms, and the victim may face a severely diminished quality of life due to the injury. California law only limits pain and suffering compensation in certain cases, and your attorney can explain what to expect in terms of the pain and suffering compensation you could potentially recover.

FAQs
Are Traumatic Brain Injuries Permanent?
Many traumatic brain injuries have permanent effects. Some victims suffer sensory problems, memory impairment, neurological distress, chronic pain, and a host of other symptoms that can evolve over time. These injuries may also result in permanent cognitive disabilities, language processing issues, and loss of motor function. Even mild traumatic brain injuries will leave victims more susceptible to brain injury damage in the future.
How Do You Prove Fault for a Traumatic Brain Injury?
You can prove fault for a traumatic brain injury by leveraging various forms of evidence and witness testimony. Success with a personal injury case in California requires accurate identification of the defendant who caused the injury and proof of how they caused it. Next, the plaintiff must show the full extent of the harm done by the plaintiff and establish causation between their claimed losses and the defendant’s actions.
How Much Compensation Can I Claim for a Traumatic Brain Injury?
The amount of compensation you can claim for a traumatic brain injury will depend on the overall severity of your injury and the extent of its effects. California’s personal injury laws enable an injured plaintiff to claim full repayment of their economic losses resulting from another party’s actions, and they also have the right to seek pain and suffering compensation that reflects their recovery time and the severity of long-term or permanent complications they face.
Why Should I Hire a California Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer?
You should hire a California traumatic brain injury lawyer because any personal injury case is likely to be more difficult to win than it initially appears. It is especially crucial to have legal counsel you trust on your side when you are seeking compensation for a complex traumatic brain injury that is likely to have caused extensive long-term or permanent effects. You’re more likely to win your case and maximize your recovery with your attorney’s assistance.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a California Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer?
The cost to hire a California traumatic brain injury lawyer will depend on the attorney’s billing policy. Easton & Easton accepts all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning our fee is contingent upon our ability to secure compensation for our client’s damages. There are no upfront fees, and you pay nothing if we are unable to obtain compensation for you. If we do win, we only charge a percentage of the case award.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!
