Real client stories
Brain Injury: A Crumbling Guard Railing Caused a Severe TBI

The Harm

A young woman was standing on a second-story landing to an apartment complex in San Diego when she was pushed during an altercation. When she hit the guard railing, it collapsed and she fell off the landing. She landed on her head and suffered a severe and life-changing brain injury. The property management claimed it had no fault and that the assailant was entirely to blame.  

The Truth

The guard railing never should have collapsed under the weight of the young woman. Inspection of the railing revealed that it had been eaten away by termites and dry rot. Video of the railing that was repaired after the incident showed that it was still loose and prone to failure.  

Justice

Once it became clear that the guard railing was in obvious disrepair, the apartment complex owner and property manager paid their policy limits.

How a San Diego Brain Injury Case Works

01

Brain Injury Case Review

During your free case review, we listen to what happened, what symptoms you’re experiencing, and how the injury is affecting your daily life and work. We review any information you already have—accident reports, photos or video, medical records, imaging results, and insurance letters—and give an honest assessment of whether a brain injury claim may be available under California law. This conversation is confidential and there’s no obligation to move forward.

02

Early Investigation

If you decide to work with us and the scope of representation is signed, we move quickly to investigate the incident and preserve key evidence. Depending on the cause of the injury, that may include securing traffic-camera or business-camera footage, documenting the crash scene or hazardous property condition, obtaining police or incident reports, interviewing witnesses, and preserving physical evidence. Acting early matters because video is often overwritten and conditions at a scene can change quickly.

03

Medical Evaluation

Brain injuries are often underestimated because symptoms can be hard to “see.” We work to gather the right medical evidence, which may include emergency records, neurology evaluations, cognitive and memory assessments, therapy notes, and imaging. When appropriate, we coordinate with qualified specialists—such as neuropsychologists and other experts—to document cognitive changes, attention and processing issues, mood changes, and other effects that may not appear clearly on a scan.

04

Proving Liability

Using the evidence, we identify all potentially responsible parties—such as negligent drivers, property owners, employers, product manufacturers, or public entities responsible for dangerous roadways. At the same time, we evaluate the full scope of damages, including past and future medical care, rehabilitation, lost income and reduced earning capacity, and the ways the brain injury has changed your independence, relationships, and ability to function day to day.

05

Settlement Strategy

We handle communications with insurance companies and defense lawyers so you don’t have to. In brain injury cases, insurers often try to argue symptoms are unrelated, “just a concussion,” or based on pre-existing conditions. We present the medical and life-impact evidence—including expert opinions when needed—to show the true extent of the injury and what your future needs look like. Throughout negotiations, we keep you informed, explain offers in plain language, and help you weigh settlement versus litigation.

06

Litigation and Trial

If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to court. Litigation can involve written discovery, depositions of witnesses and medical providers, and testimony from experts such as neurologists, neuropsychologists, life-care planners, and economists. At trial, we work to present complex brain-injury evidence clearly and persuasively—so decision-makers understand not only how the injury happened, but how it has changed your life and what it will require going forward.

California Brain Injury Law: Claims, Damages & Deadlines

Brain injury cases in California are often evaluated under the same legal framework as other serious injury claims—negligence, causation, and damages—but TBIs frequently require more medical and “life impact” evidence because symptoms can be subtle, delayed, or difficult to measure.
