Understanding Brain Injuries in Sacramento

A brain injury, often referred to as a traumatic brain injury (TBI), can range from mild to severe. Even seemingly minor injuries can have long-lasting effects on a person's life. Common causes of brain injuries include:

Car Accidents: Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of brain injuries. The force of impact can result in the brain colliding with the skull, causing damage.
Slip & Fall Accidents: When a person falls and hits their head, it can lead to a TBI. This is particularly common among the elderly.
Sports Injuries: Contact sports like football or soccer can result in head injuries. It's crucial to take immediate action when a head injury occurs on the field.
Workplace Accidents: Some jobs, such as construction or manufacturing, carry a higher risk of head injuries due to the nature of the work.

Brain injuries can result in a range of symptoms, from cognitive difficulties to emotional changes. Understanding the full scope of how these injuries affect victims is crucial for both recovery and legal advocacy. Often, symptoms might not present immediately, making timely medical evaluation essential after any head trauma. Additionally, brain injuries may require extensive rehabilitation, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and ongoing medical assessments to monitor recovery. By recognizing these aspects, our team at Smolich and Smolich is better prepared to address the legal needs and secure the necessary compensation for ongoing treatments.

FAQs About Brain Injury Legal Concerns in Sacramento

What Should I Do After a Brain Injury?

Seeking immediate medical attention is vital after sustaining a brain injury. Whether symptoms appear minor or severe, a professional evaluation can determine the extent of the injury and prevent further complications. Documenting details of the incident and obtaining medical reports is crucial for any future legal process. This documentation not only aids in understanding the injury's impact but is also instrumental in establishing liability and calculating potential compensation.

How Does Comparative Negligence Affect My Brain Injury Claim in Sacramento?

Comparative negligence in California dictates that your compensation can be affected by your degree of fault in an incident. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault in a car accident leading to a brain injury, your compensation would be reduced by that percentage. Therefore, accurately establishing liability is critical, and our team at Smolich and Smolich is adept at dissecting these complexities to ensure clients receive appropriate compensation even when multiple parties are involved.

Why Is Legal Representation Important in Brain Injury Cases?

Legal representation is crucial in brain injury cases due to the medical complexities and the variety of factors influencing liability and compensation. Attorneys with experience in brain injuries understand the necessity of working closely with medical professionals to translate medical impacts into legal claims. They ensure all factors are considered, from immediate treatment costs to long-term care requirements, providing a comprehensive approach to recover the appropriate compensation.

"You were so proactive and informative, you really did take away so much of my stress during the whole process."
I sincerely apologize for the delay! I truly thought I had already sent this off to almost 3 months ago! Thank goodness I had someone helping me clean and organize the apartment last week. She found your letter behind my bookcase. I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for your support and dedication throughout my case. You were a true blessing to me. You were so proactive and informative, you really did take away so much of my stress during the whole process. Just the fact that you returned a call so promptly was a very big deal to me. It let me know that I mattered to you, Sarah, and the firm. Thanks to the two of you I am finally settled in my own apartment and my mom was able to finally retire. So again, thank you from the depths of my heart for everything that you personally and your firm have done for me. You were true angels in my tie of need.

"They know what it takes to win. Thank you all so much!"
Thank you so much for your help. I was denied twice by social security disability. They are the most diligent and wonderfully. Yes it takes a while to get a hearing. If it wasn't for the great staff and attorneys here, I would have never been approved for disability. It was the best Christmas gift i received. They know what it takes to win. Thank you all so much!

"Thank you Sarah and team!"
I needed to apply for disability and knew nothing about how to go about it. Sarah called me and explained the process and assured me everything would be okay. Her staff went online to fill out my application. She and Marlena kept me updated every step of the way. Within a short time a decision was made in my favor. I cannot tell you how many sleepless nights I had prior to meeting with the team. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help in this area. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Without you I could have never done this.

"I am so happy to have such knowledgeable and helpful people to help during this difficult time. Sam was super responsive and always willing to answer questions, regardless how big or small."
My circumstances were a bit unusual - my husband applied for Social Security Disability, but unfortunately passed away during the review process. Sam and Sarah worked diligently to see the case through to the end, and provide our family the benefits we were owed. A special thank you to Sam, he was always very responsive, willing to go above and beyond, and willing to answer questions whether big or small. Thank you, Smolich and Smolich!
