Our California brain injury lawyers know you’re going through a tough time. Simple injuries can be subtle when they first begin to cause pain, and become anything but simple before you’ve recovered. What may first appear to be only a mild headache, can sometimes be later diagnosed as traumatic brain injury with permanent disorders that affect cognitive ability, cause seizures, paralysis and even death. Our brain injury attorneys in California, however, can jump into action vigorously and efficiently upon being called to handle your case.

Our California brain injury attorneys know that a brain injury, or a traumatic brain injury, can start with as simple a symptom as a headache that becomes worse or the fact that an individual is finding they are sleeping much more than normally after an accident.

But what may seem to be a minor injury can be something much more serious. A person may be suffering from a skull fracture which may occur when the bone of the skull breaks or cracks. If pieces of the broken skull press into the tissue of the brain, a person may have a depressed skull fracture.

Individuals sometimes have bruising of the brain, or damage to a major blood vessel within the head that causes a hematoma which results in bleeding into or around the tissue surrounding the brain.

Warning signs of traumatic brain injury include tiredness, nausea, changes in mood and personality, seizures, confusion and problems with cognitive abilities. A brain injury can cause depression, anger, irritability, and other emotional problems not normally exhibited by the individual.

A traumatic brain injury can have permanent consequences, or just cause a mild concussion. There can, however, be permanent cognitive and behavioral changes, seizure disorders, even paralysis, coma and death.

Brain injuries are normally the result of some form of trauma - a car, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, or pedestrian accident, a sporting injury, a gunshot or military injury. But they can also result from a simple slip and fall, a near drowning, strokes or viral infections and other situations not involving a use of force or the trauma of an accident.

From the start, a California brain injury attorney with the Law Firm of Sebastian Gibson knows the difficulties you may be facing if you’ve had a car accident and suffered a brain injury. If your medical conditions or the loss of your car make it impossible for you to meet with one of our California brain injury lawyers in one of our offices, we’re pleased to come out to your home and meet with you where you can be more relaxed, or not have to worry about driving while on muscle relaxers or pain pills.

As you struggle financially, afraid for the financial health of your family which, in the blink of an eye, has become uncertain in the aftermath of your loss, medical bills may already be coming in, if not collection notices as well. The one thing that may no longer be coming in is your paycheck. On top of everything you’re going through, your other family members may also be suffering from physical as well as emotional injuries from the same incident.

In that single instant when a devastating incident occurs, you can be permanently injured, lose your ability to work, lose your vehicle, go on to incur huge hospital and medical bills, require future medical treatment and undergo excruciating pain during the course of your recovery. In severe cases, you may lose a loved one and be faced with mounting bills and no way to pay for them.

A California brain injury lawyer from the Law Firm of Sebastian Gibson understands brain damage cases and we take it just as personally as you do when one of our clients is hurt. When you aren’t able to provide for your family as a result of the negligence of another, it hurts us almost as deeply as it hurts you. We’re all too familiar with how devastating a brain damage accident can be in this economy when it leads to huge medical bills, wage loss and sometimes even the loss of a job.

California brain injury attorney Sebastian Gibson knows what it takes to win and we prepare each case as if we will have to prove every last statement and item of your injuries and your pain and suffering. Our brain injury lawyers fight to obtain the maximum amount we can for your wage loss, your out of pocket expenses and items other attorneys don’t even try to obtain. If our brain injury attorneys can’t get what we think your case is worth, we fight even more aggressively to get you more. And then we fight some more to see that you get an even greater proportion of your settlement using techniques other law firms and their paralegals haven’t even considered using. It does no good to a client if their California brain injury attorney obtains a large amount only to see it whittled down to nothing after attorney’s fees, costs and repayment of liens for hospital bills, medical treatment and health insurance reimbursements.

Our results have been exceptional and our clients have been thrilled about their settlements. Not just the gross amounts, but what they pocket in the end. No California brain injury attorney can guarantee the same results time after time, but our record of exceptional results over decades speaks volumes.

Because of the fact that many in your situation suddenly find themselves struggling financially, our brain injury lawyers in California take these cases on contingency, which means that we will pay all the costs and handle your case and wait to be paid only out of any settlement or award. You never pay us a retainer, and you never get a bill from us. If we don’t win, or aren’t able to obtain a settlement, our brain injury attorneys in California absorb all the costs we’ve expended on your case. At the end of the case when we’ve obtained a settlement and asked for your approval, you’ll receive a complete breakdown of your entire settlement from your California brain injury attorney so you’re fully informed, instead of settling a case in the dark as with other attorneys, and then wondering where all the money went.

A brain injury lawyer from our firm in California does this because we have confidence in our brain injury attorneys. We have decades of experience that allows us to know a good case from the start and because we have the experience, the skills and the knowledge to win your case. And we have something else other attorneys don’t have. We have determination. If there’s something that needs researching, we research it. If there’s something that needs investigating, we investigate it. We enjoy rolling up our sleeves and going out on the road or into the finest law libraries to find the answers we need. That’s something other law firms just don’t do. We know. We’re often the only ones in those law libraries finding the answers they never will.

We’ll get you through this situation. We can take a great deal of the burden off of your shoulders. We know what you and your other loved ones are entitled to under the law and we’ll fight aggressively to obtain the maximum settlement. Your head may still be spinning from the injustice of the situation. But we can take a look at the situation from a legal standpoint to find the parties responsible.

If you or your loved ones have suffered injuries, physically or emotionally, we’ll refer you to the best medical specialists we can find and we’ll stay with you through every step of your case. We’ll help you recover from the anguish and the loss if you’ve suffered the death of a loved one, and give you the attention you need. Let us take some of the responsibility off of your shoulders. You don’t have to suffer alone - we can help.

Will things ever become right again? Will you ever find peace again? With the help of our California brain injury attorneys, we can certainly try to make it so. We’ll analyze your case with our decades of experience and if we feel we can try to make things right, we will. We’ve dealt with obstacles before and overcome them. You just need to remember, justice is on your side.

But the time for you to act is now. Time may be ticking away that could affect your right to sue and our ability to collect vital evidence. Even if you don’t need the money, you certainly deserve it for your injuries and for the members of your family who rely upon you. What may even be more important to you is remedying an injustice and finding peace. In obtaining the peace of mind you deserve, you and your family may find yourselves, at last, on the path to healing from your loss and, in the event of the loss of any loved ones in the accident, the tragedy you’ve had to face.
