If a crash left you with a traumatic brain injury, a brain injury accident lawyer in Los Angeles can prove the injury that insurers try to wave away and pursue the full cost of your care for years to come. That is what Moe Abdallah Law, P.C. does. A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is one of the most serious things that can happen in a wreck, and it is also one of the easiest for an insurer to undervalue because you cannot see it on an X-ray of a broken bone. We bring in the right medical experts, document the damage, take on the insurer, and stand between you and the pressure while you recover. You pay us nothing unless we win.
A traumatic brain injury happens when a sudden jolt or impact damages the brain, and a car crash is one of the most common causes. We handle cases ranging from a concussion, which doctors call a mild TBI, to far more serious injuries like a diffuse axonal injury, where the twisting force tears the brain's nerve fibers, a contusion, which is bruising of the brain tissue, and a hemorrhage, which is bleeding inside the skull. The word "mild" fools people, because even a concussion can leave lasting problems. What matters is not the label but the effect on your life, and two people with the same diagnosis can end up in very different places. We work with your doctors to understand the full extent of the damage, not just the note in the emergency room chart.
Brain injury symptoms are often delayed. In the hours and days after a crash you may feel shaken but basically okay, and then the headaches start. Memory and concentration problems creep in. Your mood changes, you snap at people you love, light and noise bother you, and you feel foggy at work. Many people write these off as stress or lack of sleep, and by the time they connect the dots weeks have passed with no medical record tying the symptoms to the crash. That gap is the first thing an insurer uses to deny the claim. Get examined promptly even if you feel fine, tell every provider about the crash, and report each new symptom as it appears. Those records become the backbone of your case, and we help you build a clear medical timeline from day one.
Call 911 and get evaluated even if you feel "okay." Ask about imaging like a CT or MRI, and go back if new symptoms like headaches or memory trouble appear later.
Keep a simple daily log of headaches, memory lapses, mood changes, and anything that feels off. This record helps your doctors and proves how the injury affects your daily life.
Do not give a recorded statement or take any offer before you speak with a lawyer. Anything you say can be used to argue you're fine. The consultation is free.
Insurers routinely undervalue brain injuries because they are invisible. There is no cast to point to, so the adjuster argues you look fine, that your symptoms are exaggerated, or that your memory and mood problems come from stress, age, or something that predates the crash. It calls within days sounding helpful, asks for a recorded statement, requests a broad medical authorization to hunt for a pre-existing condition, and floats a fast, low offer before the full extent of your injury is known. We shut those tactics down. We handle every conversation so you never have to, we bring in neuropsychological testing, imaging, and treating experts to prove the injury is real, and we prepare each case as if it will go to trial. That is exactly why insurers take represented clients seriously and pay more.
California gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal-injury lawsuit (California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1), and only six months if a government vehicle or public entity is involved (Gov. Code § 911.2). Because brain-injury symptoms can be delayed, these deadlines can arrive before you grasp how serious the injury is, so act early. California also follows pure comparative negligence: you can recover even if you were partly at fault, with your award reduced by your percentage of fault (Li v. Yellow Cab Co.). Insurers exploit both rules to run out your clock and inflate your share of blame, which is why it pays to talk to a lawyer early.
You work directly with Attorney Moe Abdallah, who takes your case personally, fights the insurance company, and keeps you posted by call and text at every step.
You pay nothing upfront and nothing at all unless we recover for you. The consultation is always free.
We build every case for trial: a thorough investigation, the right medical experts, and hard negotiation that gets results.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so our fee comes only from the compensation we recover for you. If we don't win, you owe us nothing. The consultation is always free.
Usually two years from the date of the crash under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. If a government entity is involved, you may have as little as six months. Since brain-injury symptoms can show up late, don't wait, and call as soon as you can so evidence can be saved.
Yes, without delay. Brain injury symptoms like headaches, memory trouble, and mood changes are often delayed for days. A gap between the crash and treatment is the number one thing insurers use to deny a claim, so get evaluated, ask about imaging, and keep every record. Then call us.
We build proof the injury can't hide behind. That means neuropsychological testing, imaging like CT, MRI, or DTI, records from your treating doctors, and testimony about how your daily life changed. We often bring in a life-care planner to project your future needs. Invisible doesn't mean unprovable.
Because the harm often lasts a lifetime. These claims can involve future medical care, lost earning capacity, rehabilitation, and long-term support, all of which we document with experts. There's no fixed formula, and the value depends on how the injury affects your life. A free case review is the surest way to understand yours.
For a serious head injury, you really should have a lawyer. Insurers dismiss brain injuries because they're invisible, and they pay far less to unrepresented victims. A lawyer usually puts more money in your pocket even after fees, because we prove the injury and value it correctly. Call us and we'll tell you straight, free.
No. You are not required to give the at-fault driver's insurer a recorded statement, and with a brain injury it's especially risky, since they'll use any hesitation or memory gap against you. Decline politely, don't answer their questions, and let us handle the conversation for you.
Almost never, and not before the full extent of your brain injury is known. Once you accept, you cannot reopen the claim, and a fast offer rarely accounts for lifetime care. Let us review the offer for free before you sign anything.
You can still recover. California follows pure comparative negligence, so your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault rather than barred entirely. Insurers overstate your share to pay less, and we push back with evidence.
Watch for headaches, dizziness, trouble with memory or concentration, mood or personality changes, sensitivity to light or noise, sleep problems, and feeling foggy. These can start days after the crash. If any appear, see a doctor right away, note them down, and tell us.
These take longer than a simple crash claim because we won't settle before your prognosis is clear and your future needs are understood. Rushing to close a brain injury claim often leaves major money behind. We keep you posted at every step so you always know where things stand.
