Brain Injury Lawyer in Texas

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) range from concussions to severe injuries that cause permanent disability. They are common in car accidents, truck crashes, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, and falls. Because brain injuries are not always visible, they are often underestimated by insurance companies.

Signs of a Brain Injury

Symptoms can appear right away or develop over days or weeks. Seek medical care if you notice:

Headaches that do not go away or get worse
Confusion, memory problems or trouble concentrating
Dizziness, balance problems or blurred vision
Nausea or vomiting
Sensitivity to light or noise
Sleep changes, irritability, anxiety or depression
Loss of consciousness, even briefly

Tell your doctor exactly how the injury happened and describe all symptoms. Medical documentation is the foundation of a brain injury claim.

Why Brain Injury Claims Are Challenging

Imaging such as CT scans can be normal even when a person has a real brain injury
Symptoms are often reported by family members rather than the injured person
Insurers may blame symptoms on stress, prior conditions or age
Long-term effects on work and family life can be hard to measure

Our attorney and team work with treating physicians and, when needed, specialists such as neurologists and neuropsychologists to document the injury and its effect on your life.

Lost income and lost earning capacity

Brain Injury FAQ

How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?

Usually two years from the date of the injury (Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003). For an injured child, the two years generally do not begin to run until the child turns 18 (§16.001), but evidence should be preserved right away. Claims against government entities require written notice much sooner.

Is a concussion a brain injury?

Yes. A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury. Many people recover, but some have symptoms that last for months.

What if I did not go to the hospital right away?

See a doctor as soon as possible. A delay does not end a claim, but early medical records help connect the injury to the accident.
