Brain Injuries

Brain injuries in Texas can result from various accidents and incidents, including motor vehicle accidents, slips and falls, workplace accidents, sports-related injuries, assaults, and medical malpractice. These injuries often occur due to sudden blows or jolts to the head, leading to traumatic brain injuries (TBI), or from lack of oxygen to the brain, resulting in acquired brain injuries (ABI). Regardless of the cause, brain injuries can have serious and long-lasting consequences for victims and their families.

Brain injury symptoms can vary widely depending on the severity and type of injury but may include headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory problems, mood changes, sensitivity to light or sound, and difficulty concentrating or communicating. In severe cases, symptoms may also include loss of consciousness, seizures, paralysis, or coma. Diagnosing a brain injury typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by medical professionals, including neurological exams, imaging tests (such as CT scans or MRIs), and cognitive assessments.

Victims of brain injuries in Texas may pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit if their injury was caused by the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. This could involve seeking damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs. Additionally, if the injury occurred due to a workplace accident, victims may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits. It's essential to consult with an experienced brain injury attorney who can assess the circumstances of your case, advocate for your rights, and help you pursue the maximum compensation available under Texas law.
