A traumatic brain injury, called TBI for short, may cause severe, long-lasting bodily and mental impairment to a victim and life changing consequences to their family. Debilitating symptoms and even the possibility of death can result from a TBI. TBI cases must be treated seriously.
A TBI is a head wound or intracranial injury caused by an external force. This sudden blow, bump or jolt to the head can disrupt normal brain functioning. Have you or a loved one in Riverside County had a traumatic brain injury?
We can legally assist you if the brain injury was the fault of another but the links below will guide you to Riverside County resource centers, support groups, and organizations to aid in your physical and mental recovery.
