Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
TBIs range in complexity. A seemingly mild concussion can cause long-term symptoms, while moderate to severe TBIs may require permanent care.
Common causes of TBIs include:
- Motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian)
- Construction site and workplace falls
- Physical assaults and acts of violence
- Sports-related head trauma
Immediate medical attention is crucial—not only for your recovery, but also to create clear medical documentation that supports your legal claim. Studies show early intervention improves outcomes and shortens hospital stays.
Types of Brain Injury Cases We Handle
We represent a wide range of brain injury cases in Dallas:
- Auto & truck accidents: including rollovers, ejections, and crashes involving 18-wheelers
- Construction site incidents: falls from heights, struck-by-object injuries
- Sports concussions: particularly in underdiagnosed youth athletes
- Workplace accidents: involving heavy equipment or safety failures
- Intentional harm: civil claims arising from assaults or abuse
Our attorneys collaborate with respected neurologists, diagnostic experts, and rehab providers at top Dallas medical centers. These facilities play a vital role in documenting injury severity and long-term impact, information that is crucial to building a strong case.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a TBI?
A TBI can create a cascade of expenses and hardships. We fight to recover compensation for:
- Medical care: emergency treatment, hospitalizations, medications, follow-up visits
- Rehabilitation: cognitive therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational rehab
- Long-term support: in-home care, residential facilities, mobility equipment, home modifications
- Loss of income: wages lost during recovery or permanent disability
- Loss of future earnings: for clients unable to return to their prior work
- Pain and suffering: including chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and emotional distress
- Loss of consortium: for spouses and family members impacted by changes in relationships
Every case is unique. We account for your prognosis, long-term needs, and all available insurance resources to pursue full and fair compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions: TBI Lawsuits
How is a brain injury diagnosed?
CT scans, MRIs, neuropsychological evaluations, and cognitive assessments are used to diagnose TBIs. Subtle symptoms may require advanced imaging and testing.
What are the common signs of a TBI?
Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, headaches, mood swings, sleep issues, and difficulty concentrating. Severe cases may involve seizures or unconsciousness.
How long do I have to file a brain injury claim in Texas?
Texas generally allows two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. Delaying could weaken your case.
Can I file a claim if symptoms appear later?
Yes. Many TBIs show delayed symptoms. Timely medical records and expert opinions can connect the injury to its original cause.

It depends. Factors include the injury’s severity, cost of treatment, lost income, and future needs. We provide personalized case assessments during your consultation.
