Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries
A traumatic brain injury occurs when a violent blow, jolt, or penetrating wound disrupts normal brain function. These injuries range from concussions to catastrophic brain damage. Even “mild” TBIs can cause permanent impairment.
Common symptoms include:
- Memory loss and difficulty concentrating
- Headaches and vision problems
- Confusion and speech difficulties
- Emotional instability or depression
- Fatigue and sensitivity to light or sound
- Loss of coordination or mobility
Severe TBIs often lead to lifelong disabilities, including impacting relationships, employment, and independence. Families are often thrust into caregiver roles, forced to navigate mounting medical bills and uncertainty about the future.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Texas
Brain injuries can occur anywhere: at home, on the road, or at work. Common causes include:
- Vehicle Accidents – Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes often cause head trauma from sudden deceleration or airbag deployment.
- Oilfield & Industrial Accidents – Equipment failures, falls, or blast waves from explosions.
- Plant & Refinery Disasters – Shockwaves and flying debris cause concussive or penetrating injuries.
- Workplace Falls – Falls from scaffolds, ladders, or elevated platforms.
- Defective Products – Unsafe machinery, vehicles, or protective gear that fail in critical moments.
- Sports & Recreational Accidents – High-impact collisions or defective helmets.
- Premises Liability Incidents – Falls or falling objects due to unsafe conditions.
Each of these events demands an immediate investigation to determine negligence, identify responsible parties, and preserve critical evidence.
Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Our firm handles all types of TBI cases, including:
- Concussions – “Mild” TBIs that can cause cognitive and emotional impairment for months or years.
- Contusions – Bruising or bleeding within the brain.
- Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) – Shearing of brain cells from rapid acceleration or rotation, often catastrophic.
- Penetrating Injuries – Caused by shrapnel, debris, or blunt trauma.
- Anoxic or Hypoxic Injuries – Oxygen deprivation to the brain, often seen in industrial or medical negligence cases.
We collaborate with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation specialists to fully document the long-term effects and financial impact of each injury.
The Law: Your Rights After a Brain Injury
Under Texas personal injury law, you may be entitled to recover damages if your brain injury resulted from another’s negligence, recklessness, or defective product.
Depending on the cause, you may have a claim under:
- Negligence Law – Holding drivers, employers, or property owners accountable for unsafe behavior.
- Product Liability Law – Against manufacturers of defective machinery or vehicles.
- Employer Negligence & Non-Subscriber Claims – For workers injured by unsafe job conditions.
- Premises Liability – For unsafe properties leading to falls or falling objects.
- Wrongful Death Law – If a loved one suffers a fatal brain injury.
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit, but critical evidence, such as surveillance footage and accident data can disappear much sooner.
How Greenberg Streich Injury Lawyers Proves Liability in TBI Cases
Brain injury cases demand a combination of medical expertise, investigative precision, and trial readiness. Our approach includes:
- Comprehensive Investigation – Gathering crash data, workplace reports, and expert testimony.
- Expert Collaboration – Working with neurologists, biomechanical engineers, and neuropsychologists to link trauma to cognitive loss.
- Medical & Economic Analysis – Documenting lifetime care costs, lost income, and diminished earning potential.
- Trial Preparation – Building visual evidence through 3D accident reconstructions and brain imaging studies.
- Aggressive Negotiation – Forcing insurers and corporate defendants to pay fair compensation — or face us in court.
Because TBIs often involve invisible injuries, we use advanced imaging (fMRI, DTI scans) and expert evidence to show juries the full extent of the damage.
Damages Available in a Brain Injury Case
The financial recovery in a TBI claim must reflect a lifetime of needs. You may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Home care and modifications
- Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
- Loss of consortium or companionship
- Punitive damages (for gross negligence or reckless conduct)
We calculate not only your current costs but also the future economic impact on your family’s quality of life.
Common Questions About Brain Injury Claims
How long do I have to file a brain injury lawsuit in Texas?
Usually, two years, but acting immediately helps preserve crucial evidence.
Can I still recover if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Under Texas’s modified comparative fault rule, you can recover damages if you’re less than 51% responsible.
What if my symptoms appeared days later?
Delayed symptoms are common. Once diagnosed, our team can link the injury to your accident through expert medical evidence.
What if my loved one can’t file a claim due to brain damage?
A legal guardian or family member may file on their behalf through a guardianship or conservatorship process.
What will it cost to hire your firm?
You pay nothing upfront. We only get paid when we win your case.
Long-Term Effects of Brain Injuries
The road to recovery is long and uncertain. Survivors may experience:
- Cognitive impairment and memory loss
- Personality or behavioral changes
- Difficulty speaking, walking, or performing daily activities
- Depression, anxiety, or loss of independence
- Long-term unemployment or reduced earning capacity
We fight for compensation that reflects these lifelong challenges, not just short-term medical bills.
