Brain Injury Lawyer

in Houston, Texas

A traumatic brain injury is a devastating injury that, in a split second, can halt and reverse lifelong dreams and ambitions. Suddenly, your quality of life is reversed, your family's future jeopardized, and a life partner may no longer be recognized. The road to recovery is long and your future is unknown.

During this emotionally trying time, you need the assistance of a traumatic brain injury attorney who will fight for the financial compensation your family is entitled to, which can include:

  • Loss of companionship
  • Economic loss
  • Diminished future earning potential
  • Current and future medical bills, which can include nursing assistance
  • Emotional and physical pain
  • Punitive damages

Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries occur when sudden trauma occurs to the head. There are three types of traumatic brain injuries one may suffer from:

  1. Closed Brain Injury - When a blunt object strikes the head, or the head is violently jerked, causing the brain to smack against the skull
  2. Open Brain Injury - When a sharp object pierces the skull and punctures the brain. Brain injuries of this nature are particularly dangerous as foreign objects can invade the brain and cause infection
  3. Oxygen Deprivation - When brain cells die due to the brain being deprived of oxygen. This can occur due to a reduction in oxygen (hypoxia) or a complete lack of oxygen (anoxia)

Traumatic Brain Injury Liability

If another party's negligence potentially caused a traumatic brain injury, then you may have the right to file a lawsuit to bring those responsible to justice. Common situations where a party's negligence results in a brain injury include:
