Fighting For Brain Injury Victims in Texas

Brain injuries are some of the most common injuries people sustain. In fact, millions of people across the U.S. sustain a TBI every year. Brain injuries are also some of the most serious injuries someone can endure. Because the brain is the control center of our body and highly complex, injuries to the brain and spinal cord can carry lifelong consequences. 

For those who have suffered a TBI, there is good news: If your TBI was the result of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, you may be able to pursue damages that help cover medical bills, pain and suffering, and other costs. J. Alexander Law Firm has handled numerous TBI claims and is proud of our extensive record of success. We have recovered over $10 million for our clients by being willing to do what it takes to protect your best interests—including taking your case to court if necessary. By operating on a contingency fee basis, you never have to pay unless we recover money on your behalf.

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when an external force causes traumatic damage to the brain, often resulting in significant cognitive, emotional, and physical challenges. These injuries can vary widely in severity, with some even impacting victims for the rest of their lives. Some individuals do fully recover from their injuries, and while some may recover for now, some injuries can have recurring symptoms later due to effects brought on by the development of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.

Those suffering from a TBI that was caused by the negligence of another may pursue legal action against liable parties, whether their injuries arise from accidents, falls, or violent incidents. Understanding the types of TBIs is essential for both patients and attorneys alike, as each may have different implications for treatment and recovery.

Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries:

  • Concussion: A mild injury that affects brain function temporarily
  • Contusion: A bruise on the brain often caused by a direct impact
  • Laceration: A tear in the brain tissue, which may occur from penetrating injuries
  • Diffuse Axonal Injury: Extensive tearing of brain tissue due to rapid movement
  • Penetrating Injury: An injury where an object pierces the skull and enters the brain

Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries occur when an external force causes damage to the brain. TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage that requires lifelong care. Common causes include:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, truck, and motorcycle collisions often result in head trauma.
  • Workplace AccidentsConstruction site falls or being struck by objects can lead to severe injuries.
  • Slip-and-Fall Accidents: Unsafe conditions in stores or public spaces can cause falls leading to TBIs.
  • Medical Negligence: Errors during childbirth or surgical procedures may result in oxygen deprivation and brain damage.

Common Signs of TBIs

You can suffer a traumatic brain injury after a truck accident or car crash, a slip and fall, or even as the result of a faulty product. Usually, people suffer a TBI after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. While a concussion is the mildest type of traumatic brain injury, you could also suffer these symptoms:

  • Headaches that get worse or don’t go away
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Convulsions or seizures
  • Slurred speech
  • Weakness or numbness in the limbs

Unfortunately, the symptoms of a TBI aren’t always immediately visible. You may not even know you’ve suffered a brain injury for days or weeks, and by then, you may not associate the symptoms you’re experiencing with the original accident that caused it. If you experience any of these symptoms, you need to talk to your doctor right away and make sure you explain that you were involved in an accident. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, your doctor may use imaging tests, such as CT scans, to find out what’s happening inside your body.

Bicycle Accident FAQs

1. What should I do if I was hit by a car while riding my bike?

Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to the police, and contact an attorney to protect your rights and build your case.

2. Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

Yes. While wearing a helmet is important, it does not bar you from seeking compensation. However, it may affect the amount of damages awarded.

3. What if the driver fled the scene?

Hit-and-run cases are more complicated but not hopeless. Your attorney can help identify other avenues for compensation, such as uninsured motorist coverage.

4. How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim in Texas?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Acting quickly ensures your case is filed on time.

5. How much does it cost to hire a bicycle accident lawyer?

At J. Alexander Law Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
