Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries, which typically occur as a result of extreme force to the head, can be devastating to a victim’s personal and professional life. Brain injuries can cause a lifetime of physical, emotional, and financial difficulties for victims and their loved ones.

Traumatic brain injuries are often the result of motor vehicle crashes in which the victim hits their head in the car. The mere jolt from a crash can also cause the brain to collide with the skull.

The consequences of traumatic brain injuries can be severe and long-lasting, and may affect a person’s ability to engage in everyday activities. Victims may experience:

• Memory loss, inability to pay attention, difficulty with problem-solving, or confusion
• Difficulty communicating
• Emotional or behavioral changes
• Loss of vision
• Reduced depth perception
• Seizures
• Headaches
• Physical paralysis
• Chronic pain

The symptoms and long-term effects a patient experiences will depend on the severity of the initial injury, how quickly doctors diagnose and treat the patient, the quality and frequency of treatment received, and the type of functions impacted. It will be important for us to evaluate your care as we work toward a settlement.

The recovery process for victims will involve learning to deal with their disabilities. Therapy, rehabilitation programs, surgeries, and other treatments may be needed. Some patients may also require at-home care or living assistance for the rest of their lives.

If you or someone you love suffered a brain injury in an accident, you will need to file a lawsuit against all negligent parties to recover damages. In Texas, victims must file a personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of injury. To establish liability, we will show that the defendants were negligent and that their negligence caused your injuries. Our attorneys will investigate your claim, collect evidence, and gather witnesses to support your case.
