Do You Need a Lawyer After an Accident?
Brain and head injuries are different from many other types of accidents.

You may need the assistance of an attorney, who can pay close attention to your claim and gather evidence on your behalf.
Our attorneys can also do the following for you:
- Identify responsible parties
- Reconstruct accident scenes with experts
- Negotiate with the insurance companies
- Arrange for ongoing medical care
Our team at Maison Law understands what you are going through and we know that you can benefit from having legal help on your side. This comes at no upfront cost to you and your family.
Common Brain and Head Injuries Caused by Long Beach Accidents
Virtually any type of accident can lead to head or brain trauma, from a car accident to a bicycle accident. Even while on the job, you could experience a brain injury when you least expect it. What you suspect is the most minor brain injury can actually progress to something incredibly serious.
Here are some of the most common types of brain and head injuries that stem from accidents in Long Beach:
- Concussions
- Skull fractures
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Diffuse axonal injuries (DAI)
- Contusions or brain bruising

The symptoms for a brain injury may appear right away or take some time to show up. Seeking medical treatment is the best thing that you can do for your health and the future of your case.
What Damages Are Available After a Brain Injury in Long Beach?
Brain and head injuries are different from many other personal injury claims in Long Beach. These injuries can affect the rest of your life physically, emotionally, and financially. In a typical injury claim involving these types of injuries, here are some of the damages that you can expect to receive:
- Medical expenses related to your treatment
- Future medical bills that you have not yet incurred
- Lost income due to missing time at work
- Pain and suffering
- Ongoing care such as nursing care or home modifications/equipment
- Loss of companionship
The damages you receive will vary from other cases where individuals have sustained similar injuries, as the circumstances are different. It is important that, as you move forward with a claim, you keep California’s statute of limitations in mind. You have two years from the time of your accident to file a claim. Past this, you may lose out on certain financial opportunities. At Maison Law, we are here to help you so that you meet deadlines that are expected of you.
What Can You Do to Strengthen Your Claim?
It can be daunting to move forward with a claim and show the extent of the damages that you have suffered due to another party’s negligence. Here are some ways that you can strengthen your claim to receive the best results:
- Receive medical treatment right away. This not only protects your health and well-being, but it also helps you to prove the extent of your injuries in a personal injury claim.
