Brain Injury Attorneys
Dedicated representation for victims of traumatic brain injuries
Call Now: (866) 222-2020Overview
At Keosian Law LLP, our brain injury attorneys provide specialized representation for individuals who have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI) due to the negligence or wrongful acts of others. Brain injuries can cause profound cognitive, physical, and emotional impairments that dramatically alter the lives of survivors and their families throughout Los Angeles.
TBIs are among the most complex personal injury cases because the damage is often invisible. Unlike a broken bone visible on an X-ray, brain injuries require advanced neuroimaging, comprehensive neuropsychological testing, and expert interpretation to fully document. Insurance companies routinely undervalue these claims, which is why you need attorneys who specialize in brain injury litigation.
Whether your brain injury resulted from a car accident on the I-10, a slip and fall at a commercial property, a workplace incident, or medical negligence, our attorneys have the knowledge and resources to secure the substantial compensation needed for your recovery and lifetime care.
Common TBI Symptoms & Warning Signs
- Persistent headaches, migraines, and dizziness
- Memory loss, confusion, and difficulty concentrating
- Mood swings, irritability, and personality changes
- Difficulty with speech, reading, or writing
- Blurred vision, ringing in the ears, or light sensitivity
- Seizures or loss of consciousness
- Difficulty sleeping or chronic fatigue
- Depression, anxiety, and emotional instability
- Loss of motor function and coordination
- Impaired judgment and decision-making ability
Common Causes & Establishing Liability
Brain injuries occur in many types of accidents across Los Angeles. Establishing liability requires proving another party's negligence directly caused the traumatic brain injury:
Vehicle Accidents
Car, truck, and motorcycle collisions are the leading cause of TBIs. The violent forces in high-speed crashes on the I-405, I-5, and surface streets throughout LA can cause the brain to strike the inside of the skull, resulting in bruising, bleeding, and tearing of brain tissue.
Falls
Slip, trip, and fall accidents are the second leading cause of TBIs, particularly among older adults. Property owners who fail to maintain safe conditions—wet floors without warning signs, uneven surfaces, poor lighting—can be held liable for resulting brain injuries.
Sports & Recreational Injuries
Concussions and more severe TBIs occur in contact sports, cycling, skateboarding, and recreational activities throughout Los Angeles. Coaches, facility operators, and equipment manufacturers may bear liability when inadequate safety measures or defective equipment contribute to a brain injury.
Our attorneys work with neurologists and accident reconstruction experts to establish the mechanism of injury and prove liability. Cases are filed in Los Angeles Superior Court where juries regularly award substantial verdicts for brain injury victims.
What Compensation Covers
Brain injury compensation must account for both immediate and lifetime needs. Available damages include:
- Medical Expenses: Emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, neurological treatment, cognitive rehabilitation, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and lifetime follow-up care.
- Lost Earning Capacity: Many TBI survivors cannot return to their previous careers. Economists project the lifetime financial impact of reduced earning ability.
- Cognitive Rehabilitation: Specialized programs to retrain the brain, improve memory, and restore daily living skills—often needed for years after the injury.
- Assistive Technology: Communication devices, memory aids, specialized software, and adaptive equipment to support daily functioning.
- In-Home Care: Nursing assistance, personal care attendants, and supervision for TBI survivors who cannot live independently.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for chronic headaches, emotional distress, depression, anxiety, personality changes, and diminished quality of life.
- Loss of Consortium: Damages for spouses and family members affected by the TBI survivor's changed personality, abilities, and relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our legal services and processes.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is damage to the brain caused by an external force, such as a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. TBIs range from mild concussions to severe injuries causing permanent disability. Symptoms can include headaches, confusion, memory problems, mood changes, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness, seizures, or coma. Common causes of traumatic brain injuries include:- Motor vehicle accidents (cars, trucks, motorcycles)
- Slip and fall accidents
- Sports and recreational injuries
- Workplace accidents
- Assaults and violent crimes
- Medical malpractice during surgery or childbirth
- Defective products
When someone else's negligence causes a TBI, victims may be entitled to substantial compensation. Brain injury cases often involve significant compensation due to their life-altering nature. Valuation considers all past and future medical expenses (including lifetime care needs), lost wages and diminished earning capacity, costs of rehabilitation and therapy, home modifications and assistive technology, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, impact on relationships and family, and the need for ongoing caregiving. Our attorneys work with medical experts, life care planners, and economists to accurately calculate the full lifetime cost of a TBI. Brain injury cases are complex because symptoms may not appear immediately after the incident, injuries can be 'invisible' with no external signs, symptoms may worsen over time or appear months later, cognitive and behavioral changes can be difficult to document, future care needs must be accurately projected, and insurance companies often dispute the severity. Experienced brain injury attorneys understand how to prove these invisible injuries and demonstrate their full impact. Building a strong brain injury case requires input from multiple specialists, including neurologists and neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists for cognitive testing, neuroradiologists to interpret brain imaging, rehabilitation medicine specialists, life care planners to project future needs, vocational experts for earning capacity analysis, and economists to calculate lifetime damages. Our firm works with leading experts in each field. In California, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, because TBI symptoms may not appear immediately, the 'discovery rule' may extend this deadline in some cases—the clock starts when you knew or should have known about the injury. Claims against government entities must be filed within six months. Given these complexities, consult an attorney as soon as you suspect a brain injury.
