A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can alter every part of life—health, work, family, and independence. In Pasadena, collisions on the 210 and 134 freeways, falls in unsafe buildings, and pedestrian crashes on streets like Colorado Boulevard and Lake Avenue routinely lead to serious head trauma. If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury, you need a trial lawyer who understands both the medicine and the law. Art Majlessi has decades of experience winning compensation for catastrophic injury victims across California.

Understanding Brain Injuries

Brain injuries range from concussions to severe trauma requiring lifelong care. Even a so-called “mild” TBI can cause headaches, memory loss, light sensitivity, mood changes, and difficulty concentrating. Moderate to severe TBIs may lead to cognitive impairment, loss of mobility, or permanent disability.

Common Pasadena Causes of Brain Injuries

• Car and truck accidents on the 210/134 or busy surface streets
• Pedestrian collisions at crosswalks and intersections
• Falls on dangerous property (uneven flooring, poor lighting, spills)
• Sports and recreational incidents, including cycling crashes
• Defective products such as unsafe helmets or auto components
• Fatal accidents leading to wrongful death claims

Compensation Available to Brain Injury Victims

California law allows recovery for both economic and non-economic losses, including:

• Emergency care, hospitalization, and rehabilitation
• Future medical treatment, therapy, and in-home support
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Home/vehicle modifications and assistive technology
• Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

How a Pasadena Brain Injury Attorney Helps

Insurers often challenge the severity or cause of a TBI. A seasoned lawyer levels the field by:

1. Investigating the incident — obtaining reports, scene evidence, and photographs.
2. Working with specialists — neurologists, neuropsychologists, life-care planners, and accident reconstruction experts.
3. Proving causation — connecting the mechanism of injury to your symptoms and long-term limitations.
4. Calculating lifetime costs — projecting medical needs, lost earning capacity, and necessary accommodations.
5. Negotiating & litigating — countering insurance tactics and taking the case to trial when needed.

Local Knowledge, Statewide Trial Experience

Pasadena cases frequently involve Los Angeles County courts and local medical providers, from Huntington Hospital to rehabilitation centers across the region. Art Majlessi’s familiarity with local procedures—paired with statewide trial results—gives clients a decisive advantage.
