Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury Cases

Common Causes

  • High speed motor vehicle collisions
  • Falls from heights at construction sites or workplaces
  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
  • Assaults and violent attacks
  • Sports and recreational impacts
  • Falling objects striking the head at work sites

Typical Injuries

  • Diffuse axonal injury from rotational brain forces
  • Cerebral contusions and brain bleeding
  • Skull fractures with underlying brain damage
  • Cognitive impairment affecting memory and concentration
  • Personality changes and emotional instability
  • Seizure disorders developing after the initial injury

Establishing 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.

Relevant Texas Law

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.
