The Woodlands Brain Injury Attorneys

TBI Lawyers Helping Clients in Texas

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are life-changing injuries whenever they occur. Their impact often extends beyond physical pain, affecting a person’s cognitive abilities, emotional well-being, and financial stability. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury in an accident, you already know just how difficult it can make all aspects of your life, but you might not know how to use legal action to try to make things better.

Filing a claim to seek compensation after suffering a brain injury is not a simple process. Each case demands a high level of knowledge and insight to handle the medical complexities, legal obligations, and attempted negotiations with insurance companies. Without skilled legal counsel, you might struggle to present a comprehensive case that accurately reflects the severity of your injuries, and the defense counsel might feel emboldened to walk all over your case if you’re unrepresented. 

Give yourself the legal support you deserve by coming to Scott Law Firm in The Woodlands. Our TBI attorneys understand how to evaluate brain injury claims, gather necessary evidence, and aggressively deal with defendants and insurers on your behalf.

What Should You Do If You Want to File a TBI Claim?

Filing a TBI claim takes many steps, including some that should be followed before you even officially start your case.

If you have been in an accident that might have caused a brain injury, you should:

• Seek immediate medical attention to document the extent of your brain injury.
• Gather any evidence from the scene of the accident that might be useful if it is safe to do so.
• Consult an experienced attorney from our firm to evaluate the merits of your claim.
• Gather necessary documentation, including medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.

It cannot be overstated how important it is to get medical attention after being in any accident that might have caused a brain injury. Even if you feel fine now, you should see a doctor right away. Some brain injuries cause subtle symptoms that gradually get worse until they are serious.

Different Kinds of TBI Cases We Can Handle

TBIs can occur in numerous ways, and each cause will present unique challenges in proving liability and damages. At Scott Law Firm, our The Woodlands brain injury lawyers have experience handling a broad range of TBI cases, so you can come to us for legal help, regardless of what happened to cause the life-changing injury.

We can work on TBI cases involving the following and more:

• Construction site accidents

Past Damages in a TBI Claim

A brain injury can result in a variety of immediate, tangible damages, which are the losses you’ve already incurred due to your injury. When preparing a TBI claim, your past damages could be significant depending on how much medical care you have already received and how much your life has already changed.

Past damages in a brain injury claim can include:

• Medical expenses, including emergency care, hospital bills, and diagnostic tests
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Lost wages from missed work
• Property damage, such as vehicle repairs
• Pain and suffering from physical and emotional trauma

Future Compensation for Brain Injury Treatments

Brain injuries often have long-lasting or permanent effects. It isn’t uncommon for someone with a brain injury to experience chronic headaches and memory issues, for example. Trying to address these long-term effects and the various complications that they cause can make future damages in a TBI claim significant. Future damages consider the ongoing consequences of your injury, which may influence your quality of life for months or even years ahead, so they can outweigh the past damages you seek through your claim.

Potential future damages in a TBI claim include:

• Future medical care, such as surgeries, medications, and ongoing therapy
• Loss of earning capacity due to long-term disability
• Home modifications to accommodate physical limitations
• Assistance with daily living activities or in-home care

By working with medical and financial experts, we can comprehensively analyze and project the impact of your brain injury across the course of your entire life. This careful method allows us to pursue the full compensation you’ll need to support your recovery and maintain your dignity.

How Much Time Do You Have to File a TBI Claim in Texas?

If you’ve suffered a TBI due to someone else’s negligence, it’s important to act swiftly to protect your legal rights. Texas law imposes a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including those involving brain injuries. This limit means you have two years from the date of your accident to file your claim, or two years from the date that the brain injury and any other injury symptoms became reasonably noticeable. Missing this deadline could result in you being unable to recover compensation at all because the court can reject any claim you file after it expires.
