How We Prove Liability
Traumatic brain injury cases require expert medical testimony to establish the full extent of the injury and its long term consequences. Neuropsychological testing, advanced imaging such as DTI MRI, and life care planning experts help demonstrate the true cost of a brain injury over the victim lifetime. Because brain injuries are often invisible to the naked eye, building a compelling case requires connecting the objective medical evidence to the victim daily functional limitations.
Texas Legal Framework
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 provides a two year statute of limitations, but the discovery rule may extend this when brain injury symptoms are not immediately apparent. Texas allows recovery for future medical expenses, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering, all of which can be substantial in TBI cases. Life care plans projecting decades of future treatment needs are routinely admitted in Texas courts to establish the full value of brain injury claims.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
