San Bernardino brain injury questions we get every day

Straight answers. No fine print.

My CT scan was normal. Do I still have a case?
Possibly. Many brain injuries don't show on a standard scan. A diagnosis often takes specialists and time.
What if I was partly at fault?
California can reduce compensation by your share of responsibility for the harm. Being partly at fault does not automatically end a negligence claim. We review the evidence before accepting an insurer's account of what happened.
How much do you charge?
Nothing up front. We only get paid if you do. Our fee is a percentage of the money we get for you. You see it and sign it before we start. If we don't win, you owe nothing, not even case costs.

SAN BERNARDINO BRAIN INJURY LAWYER

Unlike a broken bone or a visible wound, brain injuries are often invisible and can change lives in an instant. The potential consequences, however, can be devastating. If you've suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to someone else's negligence, you need experienced legal guidance. A San Bernardino brain injury lawyer at TORKLAW can help you secure the compensation you deserve for your pain, treatment, and future care.

THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF BRAIN INJURIES

Brain injuries are some of the most serious injuries out there. This is mostly because you cannot see them. After an accident, you might walk away thinking you're fine, only to develop symptoms days or even weeks later. The only way to detect these injuries is to see a doctor and have them run the necessary tests.

Common Diagnostic Tools for Brain Injuries:

  • MRI
  • CT scan
  • X-ray
  • Physical and cognitive assessments
  • Neurological exam

Without prompt medical testing, these injuries can quickly worsen, even becoming fatal. That's why our San Bernardino brain injury attorneys always urge clients to seek immediate medical attention. Early detection can save your life.

WHAT IS A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY?

A traumatic brain injury usually results from a sudden blow or jolt to the head. Common causes include car crashes, falls, or impact with heavy objects. The force can cause the brain to move inside the skull, leading to bruising, bleeding, or swelling. Some signs and symptoms of a brain injury don't show up until days or weeks after an accident, so it's critical that you seek immediate medical attention to assess any hidden damages.

Symptoms of a TBI may include:

  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Blurred vision
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Inability to concentrate
  • Insomnia

Sometimes, symptoms are subtle or delayed. Our San Bernardino brain injury lawyers highly urge our clients to visit the emergency room immediately after an accident. If left untreated, these injuries can be potentially fatal.

COMMON ACCIDENTS THAT CAUSE BRAIN INJURIES IN SAN BERNARDINO

TORKLAW has handled brain injury cases involving a wide range of accidents in San Bernardino. Any incident that causes significant impact to the head or body could result in a brain injury.

Common causes of brain injury include:

If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury after one of these incidents, contact a TORKLAW brain injury lawyer as soon as possible to explore your options.

YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO SIGNIFICANT COMPENSATION

Due to the complexity and severity of brain injuries, the financial cost can be extreme. Treatement often includes hospitalization, surgery, occupational and physical therapy, and long-term rehabilitation. At TORKLAW, we fight to recover maximum compensation for our clients. Depending on your case, we may demand the following from the defendant:

  • Past and future medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages and future income
  • Property damage (if related to a motor vehicle accident)
  • Permanent disability or reduced quality of life

Every case is different. During your free consultation, your TORKLAW brain injury attorney will evaluate your medical records and help estimate the full value of your claim.

WHY YOU NEED AN EXPERIENCE BRAIN INJURY LAWYER

One of the most important things your San Bernardino brain injury lawyer will do is negotiate with the insurance company. If you don't have a lawyer, then you'll be at a significant disadvantage. Insurance adjusters take people more seriously when they have a lawyer. They'll actually return phone calls and emails. And they won't try to offer you a lowball settlement.

We have years of experience dealing with insurance adjusters at the big insurance companies and we are not intimidated by their tactics. We'll work hard to negotiate a settlement of your claim. Nobody wants to go to trial – including the insurance company. It's in everyone's best interest to settle your case as soon as possible. This way, you don't have to worry about losing in court. If this happens, you get nothing. You can also expect to receive a lump sum if you settle your lawsuit. That's the goal of your San Bernardino brain injury lawyer at TORKLAW.
