TBI in California & Los Angeles County — Key Statistics & Trends
Understanding the scope and impact of brain injuries at the state and county level emphasizes how critical strong legal representation is.
California Statewide Data
- In California, among older adults (age 55+), TBI contributed to 2,912 deaths, 17,528 hospitalizations, and 15,708 emergency department visits in 2020. These figures reflect how common serious brain injuries are in our state.
- Among older Californians, unintentional falls are the leading cause of TBI deaths, hospitalizations, and ED visits—followed by motor vehicle traffic collisions and being struck by objects.
- Men tend to have higher TBI rates than women in older age groups in California, both in hospitalizations and mortality.
- California is estimated to have approximately 350,000 TBI survivors, based on extrapolations from national data.
- In non-fatal TBI hospitalizations statewide, nearly 32,900 people were hospitalized in one year for TBI in California (data from a prior year).
Los Angeles County & Regional Patterns
- In Los Angeles County, concussion and brain injury incidents are common. For example, in one report by Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, more than 26 residents per day were treated in emergency departments for concussions in recent years.
- The trauma registry data for Los Angeles County show that overall incidence of major injury has increased over time, although mortality rates have been trending downward due to improvements in trauma care systems.
- Among trauma deaths in Los Angeles County, motor vehicle collisions remain a leading cause, alongside penetrating injuries.
These statistics demonstrate that brain injuries are not rare — they are a significant public health and safety issue in Glendale’s region. When a negligent actor causes a brain injury, strong legal advocacy can make a critical difference in your recovery and future.

Our TBI Services & Practice Areas
At Djougourian Law Corporation, we handle a full array of traumatic brain injury claims, including:
- Motor Vehicle & Rideshare Accidents: Many TBIs occur in car, motorcycle, or rideshare crashes. When negligence plays a role—speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving—we hold the responsible parties accountable.
- Slip & Fall / Premises Liability TBI: Falls from wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or unsecured hazards can cause serious brain trauma. We help victims on private or commercial property recover compensation.
- Workplace / Industrial Brain Injuries: If a jobsite accident or unsafe workplace caused your TBI, we pursue all legal avenues—workers’ comp plus third-party claims where possible.
- Sports & Recreational Brain Injuries: For injuries occurring in gyms, sports fields, amusement parks or during athletic events, we investigate facility negligence, maintenance, supervision, or design defects.
- Pedestrian & Bicycle Brain Trauma Claims: When a vehicle hits a pedestrian or cyclist and causes brain injury, we file claims against the at-fault driver and possible additional parties (like municipalities for defective crosswalks).
- Catastrophic & Long-Term Care TBI Cases: Severe TBIs often require lifelong rehabilitation, physical therapy, cognitive therapy, adaptive living modifications, and caregiver support. We work with life-care planners and rehabilitation specialists to document and claim all future costs.
- Wrongful Death From Brain Injury: If a brain injury proves fatal, surviving family members may bring a wrongful death claim. We handle those with sensitivity and relentless pursuit of justice.
- Uninsured / Underinsured Claims: In cases where the at-fault party lacks sufficient insurance, we explore underinsured motorist coverage (if applicable) and other remedies to help bridge the gap.
Every TBI case we take is built using medical records, neurology consultations, imaging studies (MRI, CT scans), neuropsychological testing, vocational experts, life-care plans, and accident reconstruction when needed.

FAQs: Traumatic Brain Injuries in Glendale
What is a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?
A TBI occurs when an external force—such as a blow to the head, sudden shake, or penetration—disrupts normal brain functioning. TBIs can range from mild (concussion) to severe (hemorrhage, contusion, diffuse axonal injury).
How often do TBIs happen in California?
Among older Californians, the 2020 data show 2,912 deaths, 17,528 hospitalizations, and 15,708 ER visits attributed to TBI.
Additionally, approximately 32,900 people in earlier data were hospitalized due to non-fatal TBI statewide.
What are common causes of TBI?
In California, for older adults, the leading cause is falls, followed by motor vehicle collisions and being struck by objects.
In urban counties like Los Angeles, traffic accidents remain a major contributor.
Who can file a TBI claim?
If someone else’s negligence caused your brain injury—such as a careless driver or negligent property owner—you may file a personal injury claim. If the injured party died from the brain injury, a wrongful death claim may be appropriate for family members.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically two years from the injury date. Missing this deadline can bar your claim, so it’s critical to act early.
What compensation can I recover?
Compensable damages may include current and future medical costs, rehabilitation, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, assistive devices, home modifications, and caregiver support. In wrongful death cases, funeral costs, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship may also be claimed.
Is every TBI obvious right away?
No. Some brain injuries—especially mild TBIs or concussions—may have delayed symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, memory loss, mood changes, and neurological deficits. Prompt medical evaluation after any head trauma is essential.
Should I expect to go to trial?
While many cases settle, serious TBI claims often require going to trial to achieve full justice. Having a lawyer prepared to fight in court ensures the other side takes your case seriously.
