Therefore, it is a complicated process to seek civil restitution from someone who negligently caused you a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It can be particularly important to have one of our skilled personal injury attorneys help you with your claim. The compassionate and custom-tailored support you need is available from a Sacramento traumatic brain injury lawyer who knows how to fight—and win—on your behalf.

The purpose of filing a claim over this sort of injury is to maximize your overall quality of life despite the harm you have unfairly sustained. A skilled Sacramento lawyer can help you achieve this outcome with a lawsuit or settlement demand following a traumatic brain injury.

This usually involves presenting a preponderance of evidence that an irresponsible act or a breach of a duty of care by the defendant was the main and direct cause of your otherwise preventable injuries.
Most people named as defendants in these claims will fight tenaciously to minimize their liability for damages, sometimes by accusing an injured person of being partly at fault for causing their injury through their own misconduct. Support from a TBI attorney in Sacramento can be invaluable when it comes to fighting accusations of comparative fault and maximizing available restitution.
No one deserves to lose any amount of bodily function from an accident that was not their fault. TBIs can be particularly difficult to recover from, both physically and financially.
Working with a Sacramento traumatic brain injury lawyer can make a significant difference when determining who is liable for your injury, what damages you can pursue, and how best to recover the restitution available to you. Call us today for a consultation to discuss your legal options.
