Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers
A Texas traumatic brain injury lawyer fights for the injury an insurer cannot see and loves to deny: the headaches, memory loss, and personality changes that do not show on a routine scan but change a life. We bring in neuropsychologists, brain imaging, and a life care plan to prove what happened and what the years ahead will cost. You pay nothing unless we win.
A brain injury case is a fight over an injury you cannot always see.
A Texas traumatic brain injury case is different from any other injury claim because the harm hides. A broken bone shows on an x-ray. A concussion or a brain injury often does not, even when it changes how you think, feel, work, and live.
That changes what we have to prove, and how:
The invisible injury, when a routine CT or MRI looks normal but the symptoms are real and lasting.
The change in the person, the memory, mood, and focus that family and coworkers notice first.
Lifetime cost, the therapy, lost work, and care a brain injury can demand for years.
Most brain injuries come from a blow someone else could have prevented.
A traumatic brain injury comes from a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or a penetrating wound. Across the country, falls and motor vehicle crashes cause the most TBIs, followed by being struck by an object and assaults. In the cases we handle, the cause usually traces back to someone’s negligence.
Vehicle & truck crashes
The whip of a crash slams the brain against the skull, with or without a direct head strike. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of fatal brain injury.
Falls
Falls cause the most TBIs overall, especially for older adults and young children. A fall on an unsafe stair, a wet floor, or an unguarded edge can cause a lasting brain injury.
Construction & workplace
A fall from height or a struck-by-object on a job site is a common cause of severe brain injury. A third-party claim can reach beyond workers’ compensation.
Struck by an object
Being hit by a falling tool, load, or debris is a leading cause of brain injury, and often points to a property owner or contractor who ignored a known hazard.
Sports & recreation
Repeated concussions and hard impacts in sports can cause lasting harm, especially to children. When a program or facility ignored concussion safety, that negligence is part of the case.
Assault & unsafe premises
A brain injury from an assault, or from a property owner’s failure to provide safe premises and security, can support a civil claim separate from any criminal case.
The scan looked normal. We prove the injury is real.
Brain injury cases are won by making an invisible injury visible. The insurer points to a clean CT scan and calls you fine. We build the medical and human proof that shows what actually changed, and what it will cost.
Neuropsychological testing that measures memory, attention, and processing against where you were before.
Advanced brain imaging when it helps, the kind that can show damage a routine CT or MRI misses.
Before-and-after testimony from family, friends, and coworkers on how you have changed.
A life care plan that prices future therapy, treatment, and care across your lifetime.
An economist’s report putting decades of future cost and lost earnings into today’s dollars.
Your medical and work records, tied to the injury on the record.
Neurologists and neuropsychologists to diagnose the injury and explain it to a jury.
Treating physicians and therapists on your prognosis and the care you will need.
Life care planners to turn that future into a line-by-line lifetime cost.
Economists to value future care and lost earning capacity across your life.
Accident reconstruction engineers to prove how the crash or fall happened and who caused it.
The rules these cases turn on
In Texas, you generally have two years from the injury to file (Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003), and fault is shared under a modified comparative negligence rule that bars recovery only if you are more than half at fault. Unlike medical malpractice, an ordinary negligence case, a crash, a fall, a workplace injury, carries no cap on the compensatory damages a jury can award for future medical care, lost earnings, or pain. That is why the life care plan matters so much: in these cases, what you can prove, you can recover.
The insurer wants to settle on a clean scan before anyone measures what changed. We refuse to talk numbers until the real injury, and its lifetime cost, is on paper.

The brain injury cases we handle across Texas.
We represent people with every severity of traumatic brain injury, from a concussion that never fully healed to a severe injury that changed everything, and the families of those who did not survive. How you were hurt decides who is responsible, and how much insurance stands behind your care.
Concussion & mild TBI
A “mild” TBI is anything but mild when symptoms linger. We make sure a concussion with lasting effects is taken seriously, not written off because a scan looked clean.
Moderate & severe TBI
A moderate or severe brain injury can affect memory, speech, movement, and personality for life. Proving the full future cost is everything.
Crash-related brain injury
Most of our brain injury cases start with a vehicle or truck crash. We trace the injury back to who caused it, and to every policy behind them.
Fall & premises injury
A brain injury from a fall on unsafe property is a premises case. The owner’s failure to fix a known hazard is what we prove.
Workplace brain injury
A brain injury on the job can support a third-party claim beyond workers’ compensation, against whoever created the danger.
Wrongful death
When a brain injury takes a life, Texas law lets the surviving family recover for their loss in a wrongful death claim, with a separate survival claim for what your loved one endured.
What a brain injury case is worth, and how we think about it.
There is no average for a traumatic brain injury case. The value is driven by how the injury changes your life and your ability to work, and by how clearly we can prove it. The more we prove, and the more insurance we reach, the more there is to recover.
Lifetime medical & care
Therapy, treatment, and care can run for years. We price it year by year, not guess at it.
Cognitive & personality change
Lost memory, focus, and the person you were is a real, compensable harm in Texas, not just a medical bill.
How clear the proof is
Because the injury is invisible, proving it cleanly with testing and imaging is what drives the value.
How much coverage exists
Auto, commercial, employer, premises, and umbrella policies can each add a layer. Finding all of them is part of the job.
Where the money actually comes from
A serious brain injury almost never fits inside a single insurance policy. A standard auto policy can be a fraction of the cost of long-term care. So we look everywhere: the at-fault driver, a commercial or trucking policy, the vehicle’s owner, a property owner, an employer, a product manufacturer, and any umbrella coverage stacked on top. Your own underinsured motorist coverage can add another layer. The size of a recovery depends on how many of these we can reach, which is why finding every policy is part of the work, not an afterthought.
How we handle the risk. You pay nothing up front, and our fee comes out of the recovery only if we win, so we can be honest about whether an offer covers the life ahead of you or falls short. Under Texas law, being more than 50% at fault can bar recovery, so we build the fault case as carefully as the cost case. We will tell you plainly when an offer is fair, and when it is worth pushing further. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
