The Importance of Hiring a Brain Injury Attorney
Brain injuries carry ongoing, long-term risk of complications. Many people suffer serious implications to their quality of life, long-term emotional health, and physical abilities. You need a trusted and experienced Santa Monica brain injury lawyer to help you navigate your rights in these cases. There are several reasons for this:
- We fight the insurance companies. Most brain injuries take months to recover from, and during that process, it may become difficult, if not impossible, for you to know the value of your claim. We do not let the insurance company rush you.
- Your injuries may be long-lasting. In these situations, the losses you have may not improve, which means you need substantially more compensation to navigate your future. We fight aggressively.
- Our advocacy means you can focus on your recovery. Focus on healing and recovering from what has happened to you. Let our legal team fight for you to receive full and fair compensation in each situation.
With the help and guidance of our Santa Monica brain injury lawyers, we can ensure you receive fair treatment under the law. You do not have to battle the insurance company on your own.

When Is a Brain Injury a Personal Injury?
As Santa Monica personal injury lawyers, we fight for victims who are struggling with brain injuries due to the actions of others. To do this, we need to prove negligence occurred. That requires showing:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of care. You expected, rightfully, that they would keep you safe.
- The at-fault party violated that duty of care. This often means they did something they should not have or failed to keep you safe.
- Their actions or inactions caused the accident you experienced. There must be a direct link here.
- The accident caused the injuries you have. Again, you must show a direct link.
When we do that, we can demonstrate that the other party owes you compensation for your losses. Our skilled and experienced brain injury attorneys will pursue compensation that enables you to become whole again.
Compensation Available for Brain Injury Victims
Once we prove negligence, our attorneys will go to work on building your case. We look at all the ways you were impacted by this accident to build a strong legal claim for you. Though each type of accident is different, some of the types of compensation owed to you may include:
- Injury-related costs from the accident and any future medical expenses you have
- Loss of ability to work or lost hours at work
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional trauma
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Ongoing support and rehabilitation needs
Our objective is to be clear about your losses. To do that, we look at economic losses, those with documented proof of how much you lost, as well as non-economic damages, those that are more subjective in valuation. We also consider all the ways in which this accident could impact your future. That includes your quality of life as well as your ongoing needs.
Once we know what your claim is worth, our brain injury lawyers in Santa Monica can make sure the at-fault party’s insurance pays for your losses fairly. Set up a free consultation to learn more about your financial right to recovery of damages.
Economic and Non-Economic Damages in Santa Monica Brain Injury Cases
Santa Monica brain injury victims may be able to receive various types of compensation for their losses. At-fault parties could be on the line for both the economic and non-economic damages you incur as a result of the incident.
- Brain injury economic damages. Our team works to secure these types of damages for the calculable losses brain injury victims and their families will likely endure. When we say calculable, we mean the verifiable losses brain injury victims experience, such as medical costs, lost wages, out-of-pocket expenses, property damage losses, and more.
- Brain injury non-economic damages. These represent more immeasurable types of losses brain injury victims could endure. This includes but is not limited to, the injury victim’s psychological and emotional pain and suffering, physical pain and suffering, as well as any loss of enjoyment of life caused by the injury or a disability.
The total dollar value of compensation available will vary depending on several circumstances relating to your particular brain injury claim. Your attorney will help you understand the different routes of recovering compensation with you, including insurance settlements or compensation awarded through a personal injury lawsuit.
