Traumatic Brain Injury in Texas
Invisible Injuries. Life-Altering Impact. Serious Help.
Brain injuries don’t always look obvious—but they change everything. We help individuals and families across the greater Houston area recover compensation after traumatic brain injuries caused by negligence, crashes, or unsafe conditions.
Not All Injuries Are Visible
But the Damage Is Just as Real
Traumatic brain injuries can affect memory, speech, mood, balance, and even personality. Whether it’s a concussion from a crash or a severe head injury from a fall or violent impact, we understand how deeply these injuries affect day-to-day life. We help clients hold the responsible party accountable—and demand compensation for both short-term needs and long-term care.
We know what’s at stake. That’s why we prepare every case for trial, never accept lowball settlements, and go head-to-head with corporations and insurance companies to ensure our clients get the justice and compensation they deserve.
Types, Causes & Symptoms
What Is a TBI?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) happens when the brain is damaged by an external force. These injuries are often severe and require immediate medical care and long-term recovery planning.
Vehicle Accidents
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes often cause concussions, contusions, and diffuse brain injuries with symptoms like memory loss, dizziness, and difficulty speaking.
Violent Assaults & Shaken Head Trauma
Physical violence or rapid shaking can cause permanent damage, including mood changes, cognitive decline, and loss of coordination.
Struck by Falling Objects
In construction zones or workplaces, falling tools and equipment can cause penetrating or diffuse brain injuries.
Falls on Unsafe Property or at Work
Slip-and-fall incidents and falls from heights can lead to serious TBIs, especially in older adults or industrial workers.
Sports-Related or Recreational Injuries
Contact sports, biking accidents, or ATV rollovers often result in head trauma that may seem minor at first but worsen over time.
Explosions & Blunt Force Trauma
Blast injuries or being struck by a heavy object often cause multi-system trauma and long-lasting neurological symptoms.
We Work With Local Experts to Build Strong Cases
Brain Injuries in Greater Houston
Major hospitals in the Houston area—including Memorial Hermann, Ben Taub, and Methodist—regularly treat TBI patients. But even with excellent emergency care, long-term support can be difficult to navigate. We help clients across Houston, Pearland, Cypress, and beyond get second opinions, connect with neurologists, and document every part of their recovery.
Because many TBI symptoms are subtle or delayed, insurance companies often try to downplay the injury. We push back with expert evaluations, neuroimaging, and detailed testimony that shows the true impact of what you’re going through. You don’t have to prove your pain alone—we’ll do it with you.
What You Should Know After a TBI
Brain Injury FAQ
What if I didn’t lose consciousness—can it still be a brain injury?
Yes. Not all brain injuries involve blackouts or loss of consciousness. Many people suffer concussions or internal brain trauma without realizing it at first. If you’ve experienced confusion, nausea, headaches, or changes in memory or mood after an accident, you should get evaluated by a medical professional. Early treatment helps—and documentation is critical for your case.
How do you prove a traumatic brain injury in a legal case?
We work with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and imaging experts to provide clear medical evidence of your condition. We also gather statements from family, coworkers, and caregivers to show how your behavior or ability has changed. Insurance companies may question the severity of invisible injuries, so we build a complete picture that leaves no doubt about what you’ve experienced.
What kinds of compensation can I receive for a brain injury?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, future care costs, lost income, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life. In more severe cases, damages may include home care needs, mobility devices, or cognitive therapy. We take a long-term approach to make sure your future is protected—not just your immediate costs.
How long do I have to file a TBI-related lawsuit in Texas?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim in Texas. But brain injuries often involve complex medical evaluations and expert consultations, so the sooner we can begin that process, the stronger your case will be. Delays can also hurt your credibility with the court or insurance adjusters.
Can a brain injury affect my ability to work or live independently?
Unfortunately, yes. Depending on the severity, a TBI can make it difficult to focus, speak, remember instructions, or manage emotions—all of which impact daily functioning and employment. We include these challenges in our legal arguments and fight to recover not just medical costs, but the full economic and emotional toll that the injury has taken on your life.
