Seguin Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer

The order of operations is medical care, then evidence, then counsel. A trauma evaluation at Guadalupe Regional Medical Center or a comparable Seguin facility creates the contemporaneous record that supports a future claim, especially when the injury is something like Diffuse axonal injury from rotational brain forces that can be missed on a roadside check. Once you are stable, photograph everything you can and write down what you remember while the details are fresh. Insurance adjusters will call quickly. A short call with a lawyer before that conversation almost always changes the trajectory of the case.
