NAVIGATING CALIFORNIA'S
LEGAL LANDSCAPE
In California, the legal process for pursuing compensation for a TBI can be complex, with specific statutes
and regulations governing personal injury cases. Understanding the state's laws and procedural
requirements is crucial for building a strong case and maximizing your chances of recovery.
California operates under a comparative negligence system, which means that even if you were partially
at fault for the accident that led to your TBI, you may still be eligible for compensation. However, your
total recovery amount may be reduced based on the percentage of fault assigned to you.
Furthermore, California imposes a statute of limitations on personal
injury claims, including those involving TBIs. Generally, injured
individuals have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit
against the responsible party. Failing to meet this deadline can result
in forfeiture of your right to seek compensation.
