Frequently Asked Questions
What is a traumatic brain injury?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) happens when an external force causes brain dysfunction. This can range from a mild concussion, causing temporary symptoms, to severe injury with long-lasting or permanent effects on thinking, sensation, language, or emotion. The severity of a TBI is often categorized by the extent of damage and its impact on brain function.
What compensation can I recover for a TBI?
Compensation in a TBI claim can cover various losses. This includes economic damages like medical bills (past and future), lost wages, and diminished earning capacity. It also includes non-economic damages, such as physical pain, emotional suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement. The specific amount depends on the facts of your case and the severity of your injuries.
How long does a brain injury lawsuit take in Los Angeles County?
A brain injury lawsuit's duration varies widely based on factors like the injury's severity, the complexity of the facts, and the willingness of parties to settle. Some cases resolve in months through negotiation, while others, particularly those requiring extensive discovery or trial, can take several years. Cases filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Norwalk Courthouse, follow its specific caseload and scheduling rules.

Deadlines that apply in Paramount
The California filing deadlines that apply to an incident in Paramount (Los Angeles County) come from state statute, not a local rule. These are the deadlines cited most often.
2 years — personal injury lawsuit
Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1 — two years from the date of injury for most personal injury and wrongful death claims.
6 months — claim against a public entity
Cal. Gov. Code § 911.2 — a written claim must be presented to the public entity within six months for claims involving death or injury to person or personal property, before a lawsuit may be filed.
Injured minors
Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 352 — the limitations period is generally tolled while the injured person is a minor, but the six-month government claim deadline is not tolled the same way.
This is general information about California law, not legal advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Deadlines change with the facts and with who the defendant is — a claim against a city, county, transit agency, or the state triggers a much shorter deadline, and delayed discovery, tolling, and other exceptions apply. Casa Legal Los Angeles is licensed to practice in California. Confirm any deadline with an attorney.
