NAVIGATING CALIFORNIA'S
LEGAL LANDSCAPE
In California, the legal process for pursuing compensation for a TBI can be complex, with specific statutes
and regulations governing personal injury cases. Understanding the state's laws and procedural
requirements is crucial for building a strong case and maximizing your chances of recovery.
California operates under a comparative negligence system, which means that even if you were partially

total recovery amount may be reduced based on the percentage of fault assigned to you.
Furthermore, California imposes a statute of limitations on personal

against the responsible party. Failing to meet this deadline can result
in forfeiture of your right to seek compensation.
