Life After a Brain Injury Deserves Care, Stability, and Strong Legal Support
A brain injury can change every part of a person’s life — from memory and movement to employment and independence. Whether caused by a car accident, fall, or another act of negligence, these injuries require long-term care and significant financial recovery.
At Levitz Legal Group, we represent clients and families facing traumatic brain injuries (TBI) across Northern California. We combine detailed investigation, expert medical insight, and advanced technology to manage complex cases and secure the full compensation our clients deserve.

What Qualifies as a Brain Injury Case
Brain injury cases include everything from mild concussions to catastrophic trauma. Common causes include:
- Car or truck collisions
- Falls from unsafe property conditions
- Sports or recreational accidents
- Work-related impacts or falling objects
- Medical errors or anesthesia complications
Even “mild” TBIs can cause lasting problems like memory loss, headaches, dizziness, or mood changes. Severe injuries may result in permanent disability, requiring ongoing care and adaptive support.
Our role is to connect these medical realities to clear legal claims — ensuring insurers, employers, or negligent parties understand the full human impact of the injury.
How Levitz Legal Group Builds a Brain Injury Case
- Investigation: We obtain accident reports, witness statements, and evidence of negligence.
- Medical proof: We coordinate with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation specialists to document the injury’s physical and cognitive effects.
- Financial analysis: We work with life-care planners and economic experts to calculate long-term costs, including treatment, equipment, and loss of earning capacity.
- AI-supported case review: Our systems organize thousands of pages of medical and insurance data to identify key facts and strengthen arguments.
- Negotiation and trial readiness: We pursue fair settlements but prepare each case as if it will go before a jury.
This approach allows us to handle complex, high-value claims efficiently — without sacrificing the personal attention every client deserves.
Compensation Available in a Brain Injury Case
Every brain injury is unique, but the categories of compensation often include:
- Medical expenses: emergency care, hospitalization, therapy, and future medical needs.
- Lost income: wages lost during recovery and reduced earning potential.
- Life care and rehabilitation: home modifications, assistive equipment, or long-term support services.
- Pain and suffering: compensation for the physical and emotional toll.
California does not cap non-economic damages in personal injury claims, meaning victims of serious brain injuries can pursue the full value of their suffering and life changes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brain Injury Claims
Do I need a lawyer for a traumatic brain injury case?
Yes. Brain injury cases involve complex medical evidence and substantial financial stakes. A lawyer ensures that medical records, expert reports, and witness statements align to prove both fault and full damages.
How much is a brain injury case worth in California?
There’s no fixed amount. Settlement or verdict value depends on severity, treatment needs, and long-term effects. Severe cases involving permanent disability often result in significant recoveries.
How long do I have to file a brain injury lawsuit?
In most California personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file. However, deadlines can vary — consult an attorney promptly to preserve your rights.
What should I do after a brain injury?
Seek immediate medical care, follow your treatment plan, document symptoms, and avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without representation. Early evidence gathering is critical for success.
What if my family member can’t make decisions because of the injury?
A guardian, conservator, or close family member may act on their behalf. We help families set up the right legal authority to pursue claims and manage funds.
