A traumatic brain injury can change your life in an instant. These injuries leave victims and their families facing medical uncertainty, lost income, and a long road toward recovery. Whether the injury resulted from a car crash, a workplace incident, or a fall on someone else’s property, the physical and financial toll can last for years.
Kherkher Garcia LLP represents brain injury survivors and their families across Houston and the surrounding region. Our traumatic brain injury lawyer in Houston investigates how the injury occurred, works with medical professionals to document its full impact, and pursues accountability from every responsible party. We help families understand their legal options and move forward with a clear plan.
Traumatic brain injuries are more common than most Texans realize. Houston’s dense highway network, industrial job sites, and oil industry presence mean many families face this reality every day.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), brain injuries account for a significant share of trauma-related hospital visits and deaths each year:
These numbers do not capture every person who visits an emergency room, primary care office, or urgent care clinic for a head injury, since many milder cases go unreported. The scale of the problem underscores why early legal guidance matters, particularly when the full extent of a brain injury may not be immediately apparent.
Traumatic brain injuries are not all alike, and the category of injury often shapes both treatment and the value of a legal claim. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), brain injuries generally fall into two groups: a penetrating injury caused by an object entering the skull, and a non-penetrating injury caused by a forceful blow or jolt that moves the brain inside the skull. Physicians also separate TBIs by severity, most commonly as mild, moderate, or severe.
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or a hit to the body forceful enough to make the head and brain move rapidly back and forth, according to the CDC’s HEADS UP program. Despite the word mild, a concussion can cause real and lasting symptoms:
Symptoms sometimes appear hours or days after the initial impact, which is one reason medical evaluation after any blow to the head is worth pursuing right away.
Moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries carry a much higher risk of lasting damage. According to the CDC’s data on moderate and severe TBI, falls and firearm-related injuries account for the majority of these cases.The medical costs associated with more severe TBIs are often substantial. The consequences also often reach far beyond the initial hospital stay. Victims and families often experience:
Families dealing with a moderate or severe brain injury often face decisions about long-term care, home modifications, and whether a loved one can return to work. Legal claims involving this level of injury typically require input from medical and life-care planning professionals to project future needs accurately.
Houston’s mix of major freeways, industrial corridors, and offshore energy operations creates a wide range of ways a traumatic brain injury can occur. Some causes involve pure accident, while others stem directly from another party’s carelessness, such as:
Regardless of how the injury happened, medical documentation created in the days and weeks that follow plays a central role in showing how the accident caused the injury. Identifying the exact cause also helps determine which parties may share legal responsibility.
No Fees Unless We Win
Responsibility for a traumatic brain injury is not always obvious, and more than one party can share fault depending on how the accident happened. A thorough investigation by a traumatic brain injury lawyer in Houston often reveals responsible parties beyond the person or entity that seems most directly involved:
Because more than one party can share fault under Texas law, and because compensation depends on accurately identifying every liable party, an early and thorough investigation into how the injury happened is essential.
The financial impact of a traumatic brain injury often extends far beyond the initial hospital stay, and Texas law allows brain injury victims to pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic losses. A traumatic brain injury lawyer in Houston helps victims identify every category of loss tied to the injury, not only the costs that are immediately visible.
Economic damages may include:
Non-economic damages may include:
The value of a claim depends on the severity of the injury, the strength of the evidence, and the long-term care a person is likely to require. Every case is evaluated based on its unique facts.
Our trial lawyers will go the distance against corporations and insurance companies to win the maximum compensation in your case.
We stand ready to fight for you against the injustices caused by negligent actions throughout the state of Texas and across the Nation.
Texas law sets a strict deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit. A claim generally must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. In limited situations, such as when a brain injury is not immediately diagnosed, the discovery rule may affect when this deadline begins to run. If a TBI is linked to an injury that occurred more than two years ago, the victim may still have legal options, depending on the details of the incident.
Missing the filing deadline typically bars the right to pursue compensation entirely, which is why speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after a suspected brain injury is important.
Some traumatic brain injuries prove fatal, immediately or after a period of decline. When a brain injury leads to death, surviving family members may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim rather than, or in addition to, a personal injury claim on the victim’s behalf.
Texas wrongful death claims are generally subject to the same two-year filing deadline, though the clock typically begins running from the date of death rather than the original injury. Spouses, children, and parents of the deceased are generally the parties eligible to bring this type of claim.
A wrongful death claim can pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the loss of a loved one’s companionship and guidance.
