The Colony, TX Brain Injuries Attorneys

Skilled Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers for Clients in The Colony

A brain injury can follow you for the rest of your life. If the brain is jolted due to a heavy blow or directly punctured in a skull fracture, you could suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI), a type of catastrophic injury that is likely to impact your day-to-day life. A personal injury attorney can help you get compensation for a TBI caused by the negligence of another party.

At Burress Injury Law, we are more than equipped to handle personal injury claims involving traumatic brain injuries. In past case results, we have secured millions of dollars for TBI victims, including a $6 million settlement for a client who was struck by an 18-wheeler truck.

The Impact of a Traumatic Brain Injury

Depending on the nature of the accident that caused it, a TBI can present with mild or severe symptoms. These symptoms may include:

• Chronic nausea or dizziness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Insomnia or difficulty waking up
• Worsened coordination
• Difficulties with communication
• Persistent headaches
• Decreased problem-solving ability

Some of these symptoms are treatable, but others may impact your ability to live or work as an independent adult. After a head injury, it is incredibly important that you seek out medical attention as soon as possible so that you can catch a TBI early and receive the proper treatment.

If you file a claim without getting a full exam first, the insurance company is unlikely to pay you what your damages are worth. Our attorneys can help you get high-quality medical care for your injuries, even if other physicians do not want to get involved with an insurance claim.

Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

It is often impossible to predict when and where you will suffer a TBI. Our attorneys can represent you in a variety of cases, such as:

• Car Accidents: Certain types of accidents, like head-on collisions or T-bone accidents, may put you at greater risk of incurring a substantial head injury. Drunk drivers are a frequent culprit in car accidents that lead to TBIs.
• Truck Accidents: A collision with a semi-truck can subject people in a vehicle to extreme forces, as is often seen in rollover accidents. A hard impact can cause the brain to move around inside the skull, resulting in brain damage.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Even with protective gear, a motorcyclist can still suffer a TBI in a collision with a much larger vehicle.
• Premises Liability: If a property owner fails to address a clear hazard on their premises, the risk of catastrophic injury is likely to increase. Brain injuries have been known to result from slip-and-fall accidents at restaurants, stores, or amusement parks.
• Product Liability: A dangerous defect in a product, such as a non-functional airbag that fails to deploy in an auto accident, can cause permanent brain damage.

Our attorneys can help you hold the liable party accountable for your damages, building a case to demonstrate fault for the accident. We can also help you file a claim on behalf of an incapacitated loved one who is suffering from a traumatic brain injury.
