Our Lawyers Serve Brain Injury Victims In San Diego And Riverside

A head injury is one of the most serious injuries a person can get. Injuries sustained to the brain bring with them a host of serious consequences. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in both physical and mental impairments and can dramatically alter the trajectory of a person’s life. If you or a loved one has been in an accident that resulted in a TBI, we can help. At Martinez & Schill LLP, our attorneys are experienced in representing accident victims with serious injuries. If your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to financial compensation for your injuries and the pain and suffering you have endured. Our San Diego brain injury attorneys will work diligently to maximize your recovery.

Types Of Brain Injury Cases We Handle

At Martinez & Schill LLP, we understand that a brain injury is often the most serious injury a person can endure. After a head injury, one must undergo an extensive and sometimes lifelong recovery process. TBIs are also more common than most people realize. Not all brain injuries are severe, though many can go unnoticed immediately following an accident and then progressively worsen over time. Our attorneys are fully aware of the daily obstacles that those with brain injuries face, and we want to make the legal process something that our brain injury clients don’t need to worry about. We handle the following brain injury cases:

  • Moderate and severe TBI
  • Mild TBI and post-concussion syndrome
  • Concussions

We handle all types of injury accident cases. We carefully investigate the circumstances of the accident and craft the strongest possible case on your behalf. We are skilled negotiators and litigators, and we go to bat for our clients both in and out of court.

Compensation For TBIs In California

TBIs are devastating to both victims and their caregivers. Brain injuries, even when mild, often require compensation for the following damages:

  • Medical treatment: Hospitalization, brain injury rehabilitation programs, in-home care and ongoing neurological care
  • Depression and anxiety care: Ongoing care with psychologists and psychiatrists
  • Loss of earning capacity: When a person has lost the ability to perform their job due to a brain injury
  • Lost wages: Wages lost during the time the brain-injured person could not work
  • Loss of ability to provide household services: Recovery for the reasonable value of services that the brain-injured person provided to his or her household prior to their injury
  • Physical pain and mental suffering: Emotional distress, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, grief, anxiety, humiliation and more

When you are involved in an accident in which head trauma has occurred, it is important to consult with an attorney even if you have not yet been diagnosed with a TBI. Mild and moderate brain injuries, including concussions or injuries in which you did not lose consciousness, can take weeks or even months to become apparent. If you rush to settlement in your case, you could miss your opportunity to obtain the compensation you need to get the treatment you deserve.

In addition to the significant medical expenses associated with TBIs, potential damages also include lost wages and lost earning capacity as many victims are unable to return to their current jobs and may be unable to continue working in general. Our San Diego brain injury attorneys look at the totality of the damages you will likely incur, and they aggressively pursue maximum compensation.
