Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers
Serving Clients Nationwide From Our Texas Offices in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Dallas, and Austin
At Thomas J. Henry Law, we understand how devastating a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be for victims and their families. A TBI can lead to long-term medical issues, financial strain, and emotional distress. Our experienced Texas traumatic brain injury lawyers are here to fight for your rights and help you secure the compensation you need for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI due to someone else’s negligence, our legal team is ready to guide you through the process and ensure your voice is heard.
What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden impact or jolt to the head disrupts brain function. TBIs can be classified into two types:
- Closed TBI: The skull remains intact, but the brain is injured due to a strong impact (e.g., a car crash or a fall).
- Open TBI: A foreign object, such as shattered glass or metal, penetrates the skull and damages the brain.
TBIs can have life-altering effects, including memory loss, cognitive challenges, emotional instability, and physical disabilities. Many victims require ongoing medical care, which can become a financial burden. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you deserve compensation to help cover these costs.
Common Causes of TBIs in Texas
Brain injuries can happen in many situations, but some of the most common causes include:
- Car Accidents: High-impact crashes can cause head trauma, even in minor collisions.
- Workplace Accidents: Construction and industrial jobs carry a high risk of falls and equipment-related injuries.
- Slip and Falls: Wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained properties can lead to serious head injuries.
- Sports Injuries: Contact sports like football or boxing can result in concussions and long-term brain damage.
If you’ve suffered a TBI due to an accident, our attorneys can help determine if you have a case and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Symptoms and Diagnosis of a TBI
TBI symptoms can vary, but common warning signs include:
- Headaches, dizziness, or nausea
- Memory problems or confusion
- Mood swings or emotional instability
- Trouble concentrating or speaking clearly
If you experience any of these symptoms after an accident, seek medical attention immediately. Doctors use imaging tests like MRIs and CT scans to diagnose TBIs and create a treatment plan. Getting a proper diagnosis is essential for both your health and your legal case.
How Our TBI Lawyers Can Help
Filing a brain injury claim can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with medical recovery. Our legal team will handle every step, including:
- Gathering medical records and evidence
- Investigating the accident and identifying liable parties
- Negotiating with insurance companies to ensure fair compensation
- Representing you in court if necessary
Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, but we won’t let them take advantage of you. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who fight aggressively for full and fair compensation.
Compensation for TBI Victims
If you’ve suffered a TBI, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Hospital bills, rehabilitation, and future medical care
- Lost Wages: Income lost due to your inability to work
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for emotional and physical distress
- Long-Term Disability: If your injury affects your ability to earn a living
The amount of compensation depends on factors like the severity of your injury, long-term impact, and the degree of negligence involved. Our team has successfully secured significant settlements for TBI victims, helping them get the financial support they need to move forward.

We have straight answers to difficult questions to help you make critical decisions, navigate legal process and help you get justice.
Following a traumatic brain injury, there are always more questions than answers. At Thomas J. Henry, we’re here to answer any questions you have about your injury case.
How Are Settlements Determined in TBI Cases?
TBI settlements are decided upon by financial factors due to the severity of the injury (costs of medical care, loss of income, etc.) as well as emotional or physical distresses. The impact of the injury on brain function also plays a strong role. Compensation can vary from a few thousand to over a million depending on factors of the incident.
What Are the Levels of Severity Associated with TBI’s?
There are mild, moderate, and severe levels of traumatic brain injury. Mild TBI victims will often be able to experience a regular quality of life and sustain short-term symptoms like nausea. Severe TBI victims may exhibit symptoms that show up over extended periods and suffer from a life-altering disability.
What Is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
A traumatic brain injury – or TBI – is a sudden disruptive interference of normal brain functioning. It often can create dysfunction in the brain after a serious blow to the head and is most common in car crashes or being harshly struck in sports-related accidents.
What are my Legal Options Following a Traumatic Brain Injury?
If you or someone you love has suffered a TBI, you may choose to hire an attorney to help you recover damages. An attorney can help relieve the burdens faced by TBI survivors and their families by working to get compensation for:
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Past and future medical expenses
What are the Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury?
Knowing the warning signs of a traumatic brain injury can improve the recovery process and increase the chance of positive outcomes. Some symptoms are easily recognizable, quick to find, and can resolve within days. However, more severe TBIs are much more difficult to notice and can cause symptoms that last for weeks, months, or years.
The following symptoms may indicate a severe traumatic brain injury and may require immediate medical attention:
- Severe headache that gets worse and does not resolve
- Weakness and numbness
- Dizziness or loss of vision
- Slurred speech
- Loss of consciousness or confusion
- One pupil larger than the other (black part of the eye)
- Vomiting or nausea
- Seizures and convulsions
