Brain Injuries

Brain Injury Lawyer in Beverly Hills

Over 30 Years Fighting for Brain Injury Victims in Southern California

A traumatic brain injury changes everything. Medical costs accumulate fast, work may become impossible, and families are left navigating a system that wasn’t built with them in mind. Since 1993, Law Offices of Haleh Shekarchian has represented injury victims and their families throughout Beverly Hills and Southern California, pursuing compensation they may be entitled to when someone else’s negligence caused the harm.

Attorney Haleh Shekarchian holds membership in both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a distinction earned by fewer than 1% of U.S. attorneys. Over more than 30 years of practice, our firm has recovered millions of dollars for injury victims and built a reputation for integrity among defense attorneys, judges, and insurance carriers throughout Los Angeles and surrounding counties.

Brain injuries don’t wait, and neither should your legal options. Call our Beverly Hills brain injury attorneys today at (855) 785-0297 for a free consultation.

Why Beverly Hills Brain Injury Victims Choose Our Firm

Brain injury claims are among the most complex in personal injury law. Insurers often push early settlements before the full picture of a victim’s long-term needs is clear. We counter that pressure with over 30 years of negotiation and litigation experience and a case record that insurers take seriously.

We also remove the practical barriers that stop injured people from getting legal help:

No fees unless we recover: We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you owe nothing unless we recover compensation for you
We come to you: If you can’t travel to our office, we can meet you at your home or hospital
Multilingual service: We serve clients in English, Spanish, and Farsi
Bar association membership: We are members of both the Beverly Hills Bar Association and the Los Angeles County Bar Association

Types of Brain Injuries & Accidents We Handle

A traumatic brain injury is caused by an external force to the head, such as a blow, jolt, or penetrating object. TBIs differ from the broader category of head injuries, which can include scalp or skull damage that doesn’t necessarily involve the brain itself. Severity ranges from mild (concussion with temporary symptoms) to severe (extended loss of consciousness, coma, or permanent cognitive impairment). Non-traumatic brain injuries caused by oxygen deprivation or other internal factors may also give rise to legal claims depending on the circumstances.

Our firm represents clients who suffered brain injuries in:

Car and motorcycle accidents
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
Slip and fall incidents
Construction and workplace accidents
Other incidents involving a third party’s negligence

We also handle brain injury claims arising from workers’ compensation cases, where the legal process follows a separate track from standard personal injury claims.

Compensation a Brain Injury Victim May Recover

Because TBIs often require unpredictable long-term care, accurately valuing a claim takes experienced legal and medical evaluation. An early settlement offer from an insurance company may not account for future rehabilitation costs, home care needs, or the lasting effect on a victim’s earning capacity. We handle every aspect of the claim, from insurer negotiations to litigation, to pursue compensation our clients may be entitled to based on the facts of the case.

Recoverable damages in a California brain injury case may include:

Current and future medical expenses, including hospitalization, surgery, therapy, and neurological rehabilitation
Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
Pain and suffering and emotional distress
In-home nursing or personal care costs
Home modification expenses
Property damage

In cases involving malice, oppression, or fraud, California courts may also award punitive damages. The facts of each case determine what damages are available and how they’re calculated.

Recognizing Traumatic Brain Injury Symptoms

TBI symptoms don’t always appear at the scene of an accident. Mild TBI symptoms may include headache, nausea, dizziness, confusion, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, sensitivity to light or sound, memory loss around the event, fatigue, and changes in mood or sleep. Severe TBI symptoms can include loss of consciousness, seizures, weakness or numbness in the limbs, slurred speech, loss of balance, and pupil dilation.

Because symptoms can develop over hours or days, anyone who has sustained a blow to the head should seek medical evaluation promptly, even if they feel fine at first. Delayed diagnosis not only risks worse health outcomes but can also create gaps in the medical record that insurance companies use to dispute a claim.

How a TBI Affects Daily Life & Long-Term Stability

Even a mild TBI can affect concentration, mood, and short-term memory in ways that interfere with work and relationships. Severe TBIs can permanently alter cognitive function (memory, reasoning, and judgment), communication (speaking, writing, or understanding others), behavioral regulation, and sensory ability, including balance and vision.

Some TBI survivors experience ongoing complications such as seizures, fluid buildup in the brain, or recurring infections. In the most serious cases, a TBI may leave a person entirely dependent on others for care. The effects extend beyond the victim: family members often take on caregiving roles while managing their own financial and emotional strain. Many TBI survivors can no longer work in their former capacity, and that permanent reduction in earning potential is a significant part of what a well-built legal claim must capture.

California Filing Deadlines for Brain Injury Claims

California law sets a 2-year deadline for most personal injury claims, including TBI cases, measured from the date of injury under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1. If the brain injury resulted from medical malpractice, a different rule applies: the claim must be filed within 1 year of discovering the injury or within 3 years of the date of injury, whichever comes first, under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 340.5.

Missing either deadline generally bars recovery, regardless of how severe the injury. Building a strong claim takes time: gathering medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and expert evaluations can’t be rushed into the final weeks before a deadline expires. Reaching out to a brain injury attorney in Beverly Hills as early as possible protects both the strength of the claim and the ability to file it on time.
