A: Ask friends, your doctor, your lawyer and/or you can call the California State Bar and request a referral. TBI cases are very expensive to try and the defense bar is very aggressive and love to fight to the bitter end. However, if the facts of the case show indicia of slurred speech, severe headaches, continuous dizziness, a change of personality and diminished capacity; and, if all these facts can be proven by witnesses testimony and expert evaluations, the case may prove to be a good case.

A: Attorney Juarez is very wise. I would suggest you look for a member of the CAOC in the county where the wreck happened; they give free consults. Make sure you get a full head injury evaluation if your symptoms keep on and continue to bother you.
