Van Alstyne Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) Attorney

Experienced Lawyers for Traumatic Brain Injuries in Van Alstyne, Texas

In most accidents, victims are projected to make a full recovery and move on with their lives. However, there are times when an accident's lasting impact is permanent, as is the case with severe traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs. A hard impact to the skull can incur permanent brain damage, a type of catastrophic injury that may leave victims unable to return to work or live independently.

If you or someone you love has suffered a catastrophic injury from a preventable accident, you can pursue a remedy in the form of a personal injury lawsuit. A lawyer at Burress Injury Law can provide you with counsel and representation during this legal process, making sure you take all the right steps to receive just compensation.

An Overview of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Every TBI presents with different symptoms depending on the force of the impact and where the victim was struck. Examples of TBIs include:

• Internal bleeding when a hemorrhage prevents oxygen from reaching the brain.
• Penetrating injuries that pierce the skull and damage the brain directly.
• Closed brain injuries caused by the brain moving around inside the skull.

The effects of a TBI can be long-reaching, and not all of them may be immediately obvious to an onlooker. Victims of traumatic brain injuries may exhibit diminished cognitive abilities, trouble with short-term memory or concentrating, convulsions, seizures, or increased sensitivity to stimuli like light and sound. In some cases, TBI victims require caretakers to address their daily needs.

Treating or living with a traumatic brain injury can be quite costly, especially when it deprives the victim of work. If you wish to pursue a personal injury case for a TBI, our attorneys can help you obtain necessary medical treatment as we negotiate for a full settlement from an insurance company. In one case, we secured $6 million in compensation for a client who had been struck by an 18-wheeler truck, resulting in a traumatic brain injury.

Making a Personal Injury Claim

If you wish to pursue a case for a TBI, we strongly advise you to seek the counsel of a personal injury lawyer who can help you navigate this delicate process. Negotiating with insurance companies is never a straightforward affair, as representatives from the company will try to deflect responsibility for the accident and avoid paying you in full.

Negotiating for a successful claim requires proof of fault. For instance, if you suffered a TBI in a pedestrian accident, a video that clearly shows the vehicle violating the right-of-way can be invaluable evidence for your case. In any case, our lawyers are prepared to investigate the original site of the injury, identifying factors that could determine liability.
