East Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys Fighting For Victims’ Rights
Traumatic brain injuries are often “invisible,” yet they are among the most debilitating catastrophic injuries a person can suffer. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can occur as the result of an auto accident, construction accident, serious fall or any incident in which the head strikes something, such as a steering wheel or a floor, or in which the head is struck by something, such as a rock or baseball.

Brain Injury Symptoms And Their Consequences
There are a wide variety of symptoms associated with TBI. Most of these can have harmful effects on a victim’s lifestyle and personality, perhaps permanently. Symptoms of catastrophic brain and head injuries commonly include:
- Memory loss
- Trouble thinking, concentrating or paying attention
- Loss of balance and coordination
- Periodic and unexplained loss of consciousness
- Seizures
- Muscle weakness
- Vision and hearing problems
- Headaches
- Fatigue, difficulty sleeping or difficulty waking up
- Anxiety, depression and mood swings
Head trauma can cause the blood vessels inside your brain to bleed or form a clot, leading to a stroke or other disability. In fact, the chances of a stroke increase dramatically after an accident, especially if a skull fracture occurs. Moreover, the stroke might not occur until months after the accident. Sometimes, a traumatic brain injury in Texas can lead to an innocent person’s wrongful death.
What Are The Most Common Causes Of TBIs In Texas?
Having spent years in practice, our Tyler TBI lawyers have seen just about every factor that can contribute to a skull injury. Just a few common examples of traumatic brain injuries are:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Commercial truck accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Workplace accidents
- Construction site accidents
As catastrophic injury lawyers, we work with a roster of experts to investigate the root causes of your auto accident or another incident that contributed to a brain, head, neck or back injury. Then, we gather the evidence to put together a strong traumatic brain injury lawsuit.
You Can Trust Our Texas Injury Attorneys’ Credentials
Some lawyers say they “specialize” in a specific legal area as a way of saying that it is a focus of their practice. In Texas, however, the term specialist must be earned. We have an on-site Personal Injury Trial Law Specialist, certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. To earn that certification, a personal injury law attorney must meet heightened standards of experience, achievement and specialized education, something less than 10 percent of practicing attorneys can claim.
When you hire our TBI attorneys, you can feel confident that we have the personal injury knowledge and experience that you and your case deserve.
