Understanding Your Los Angeles Brain Injury Case
Explore essential resources on your rights, your options, and what to expect — everything you need to navigate the legal process, all in one place.
In Los Angeles, many TBIs come from high-speed collisions on the dense freeway network — including the I-405, I-10, and US-101 — as well as the city's heavy pedestrian and rideshare traffic, motorcycle crashes, and falls. Identifying how the injury happened determines who may be responsible and what insurance is available.
A brain injury case arising in Los Angeles is generally filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, with many civil matters heard at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse downtown. Where a case is venued can affect scheduling and the jury pool.
Generally two years from the date of injury under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. If a city or public agency — such as a transit authority or a government vehicle — may be responsible, a written claim is usually due within six months first. Deadlines have exceptions, so confirm yours promptly.
A serious brain injury frequently requires months of evaluation before the long-term prognosis is clear, and settling too early risks leaving out future costs. A life-care plan projecting ongoing cognitive care, therapy, and lost earning capacity is often needed before the claim's full value can be established.

How Do I Know If I Have a Brain Injury Claim in Los Angeles?
Three factors determine whether you have a valid brain injury claim — fault, damages, and proof. Fault means another party's negligence caused your injury. Damages are your losses, such as medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, and diminished quality of life. Proof includes medical records, imaging, incident reports, and expert testimony. California's statute of limitations applies, so contact Wilshire Law Firm for a free case evaluation.

Los Angeles Brain Injury FAQs
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered the most common ones below. If yours isn't here, call us — we're available 24/7.
Nothing upfront. We handle brain injury cases on contingency, which means there are no fees unless you get paid. Your initial case review with a legal professional is always free.
Generally two years from the date of the injury (CCP §335.1). Deadlines are much shorter — often six months — when a government entity is involved, so it's wise to talk to a legal professional as soon as possible.
Brain injury symptoms sometimes emerge days or weeks after an incident. In many cases, California's "discovery rule" can affect when your filing deadline begins to run. A legal professional can review the timeline of your symptoms and explain how the deadline may apply to you.
California follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule, so in most cases you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault — your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. A legal professional can review how this may apply to your case.
It depends on the severity of the injury, the clarity of fault, and whether the insurer negotiates fairly. Because a TBI often requires long-term medical evaluation, we build your case around your full future needs and keep you informed at every stage.
Call us any time — we're available 24/7 — or request your free case review online. A legal professional will review what happened and explain your options. Remember: no fees unless you get paid.
