Lancaster Brain Injury Lawyer
The emotional and financial consequences of a traumatic brain injury can leave lasting havoc to the victim as well as the whole family. It is not unusual for recovery to take a lifetime. Injuries to the brain can cause a wide variety of debilitating symptoms, such as coma, paralysis, seizures, personality changes, hearing and vision loss, loss of taste or smell, and cognitive deficits.
Symptoms Of A Brain Injury
The affects of many brain injuries appear immediately, but oftentimes the symptoms do not appear until later when the injury manifests into a worsened condition. The brain is the center of many functions for the body, making brain injuries that much more devastating.

Personal Injury Claims In Lancaster, California
California law allows up to 2 years to file civil claims against a negligent party. This means that if your brain injury worsens at a later date, you may still be able to file a legal claim and collect damages. This statute of limitations begins at the time of awareness of the injury, so it is important to obtain a medical evaluation as soon as possible following an accident or injury.
