A traumatic brain injury (TBI) case comes with unique challenges. The damage isn’t always visible, and the true cost reveals itself slowly. After an accident, you might feel fine, but days or weeks later, symptoms may suddenly flare up: memory gaps, sudden mood changes, or a persistent headache that becomes a roadblock in every aspect of your life.
If this is happening to you or someone you love after an incident caused by another’s negligence, you’re facing the difficult reality of a TBI.
Securing fair compensation for a brain injury is uniquely challenging. Because the symptoms are sometimes delayed and cannot be proven with a simple X-ray, it’s hard to accurately document all of your financial losses and determine how much you’ll need to account for future damages.
At Narwal Injury Law, we focus on serious injuries. We build cases that show the real, long-term impact of a TBI. If you have questions about your situation, we have clear answers. Call us for a straightforward, confidential conversation at (425) 474-2714 to speak with a Redmond traumatic brain injury lawyer.
Gurjot Narwal, Redmond Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
Narwal Injury Law was founded by Gurjot Narwal, an attorney whose background gives our clients a distinct advantage.
Having served as an Assistant State Attorney General and an Assistant Seattle City Attorney, he has firsthand insight into how large institutions and government bodies handle injury claims. This experience is a significant benefit when building a case that anticipates and counters their strategies.
We want to understand the full story of how your life has been altered—the daily struggles with concentration, the memory lapses, the emotional toll.
From there, we construct a legal strategy designed to secure compensation that accounts for every loss, both the obvious and the hidden.
Getting legal help shouldn’t add to your stress. We ensure it doesn’t.
Our office is located at 7981 168th Avenue NE, #110, Redmond, WA 98052.
Just a few blocks from Redmond City Hall, our office is an established part of the local community and easily accessible for clients throughout the Eastside.
The purpose of a personal injury claim is to provide the financial resources needed to cover every loss the injury caused—not just the immediate bills, but all future costs as well. In Washington, these losses are categorized as “damages.”
These are the specific, calculable financial costs tied to your injury. They are the tangible expenses documented with bills, receipts, and income statements.
These damages compensate for the personal, non-financial ways the injury has upended your life. While they don’t come with a receipt, they are just as real.
Washington follows a rule called “pure comparative fault.” This legal concept means you can recover damages even if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident.
A court assigns a percentage of fault to each person involved. Your final compensation is then reduced by your percentage of fault. Our role is to build a case that keeps the other side accountable and ensures no blame is unjustly shifted onto you.
A brain injury can happen anywhere, but we see incidents cluster in certain high-risk areas and situations around Redmond.
Certain local roads are known for serious collisions.
Public health data reveals clear patterns in how these injuries occur.
Our firm represents individuals who have suffered brain injuries in a variety of circumstances, including:
A TBI occurs when an external force causes the brain to malfunction. The damage appears in several ways:
Many of the most debilitating effects of a TBI (memory loss, difficulty concentrating, personality changes) do not show up on a CT scan or MRI, as mentioned earlier. This is a central difficulty in these cases. The injury is real, but objective proof is hard to obtain.
How do you prove what you can’t see? We assemble a team of specialists to build a complete picture of your life before and after the injury. This may include:
Shortly after an accident, you will likely hear from an adjuster from the at-fault party’s insurance company. Remember that an insurance company is a business; it must balance paying valid claims with protecting its own financial interests.
Their job is to resolve your claim efficiently and for the lowest reasonable amount. Your goal is to secure compensation that will cover the full, lifetime cost of a serious brain injury. These two objectives are not aligned.
Our team takes over all communications with the insurance company for you. We present them with a well-documented claim that clearly outlines your injuries and the compensation required for your recovery. This allows you to focus on your health.
While we manage the legal work, there are several simple but meaningful steps you can take to protect your rights and strengthen your claim.
Generally, Washington State provides three years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is known as the statute of limitations. However, deadlines can be much shorter if a government entity is involved. It is best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
This is very common with brain injuries. In Washington, the “discovery rule” may apply. This legal principle means the three-year deadline might not start until the date you discovered, or reasonably should have discovered, your injury and its cause. We can analyze your situation to determine if this rule applies to your case.
Yes. Washington does not have a statewide law requiring all bicyclists to wear a helmet. Therefore, not wearing one does not prevent you from holding an at-fault driver responsible. The defense may argue it contributed to your injuries under the comparative fault rule mentioned earlier, but it does not prohibit you from filing a claim.
You may be able to get compensation through your own auto insurance policy, provided you have Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage. While not required in Washington, insurers must offer it to you. We can review your policy to determine the best path to pursue the benefits you are entitled to.
This is a common argument used to minimize the value of a claim. It’s why objective medical evidence is so important. We work with neuropsychologists whose job is to perform specific tests that can distinguish between TBI-related cognitive changes and general emotional distress like anxiety or depression. The results of these tests provide the scientific proof needed to counter such arguments.
You may be telling yourself your symptoms aren’t serious enough. You might be worried that you can’t prove what you’re going through. Those are understandable doubts, and they are what insurance companies count on.
The truth is that any injury that affects your ability to think, work, and enjoy your life is serious. Deep down, you know your injury is valid. You have the right to seek the resources needed to move forward.
