Houston traumatic brain injury lawyer.

TBIs are called the 'invisible injury' for a reason — CT scans often show nothing even when the brain is profoundly damaged. We work with specialists to prove it and juries to value it.

Quick answer: TBI claims often involve mild traumatic brain injuries (concussions) that don't show on standard imaging but cause lasting cognitive, emotional, and physical symptoms. Neuropsychological testing, advanced imaging (DTI, fMRI), and vocational-expert testimony are often essential to prove the full impact.

Injuries we see in traumatic brain injury cases

  • Concussion and post-concussion syndrome
  • Diffuse axonal injury
  • Contusions and subdural hematomas
  • Coup-contrecoup injuries
  • Persistent cognitive, emotional, and physical symptoms

Compensation available under Texas law

  • Neurological and neuropsychological care
  • Cognitive rehabilitation
  • Lost earning capacity (often most of the case's value)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Life-care plan costs
How we work

Our process on a traumatic brain injury case.

01

Early neuro referral

Most ER visits miss mild TBI. We refer to Houston-area neurologists and neuropsychologists who test specifically for it.

02

Baseline and functional testing

Neuropsychological batteries establish deficit. Advanced imaging documents structural damage.

03

Life-care planning

Lifetime cost of TBI care often reaches seven figures. A certified life-care planner builds the cost model.

Frequently asked

Questions people ask about traumatic brain injury cases.

My CT scan was normal — do I still have a case?

Yes. Most mild TBIs don't show on CT. Advanced imaging and neuropsych testing are the proof.

How do you prove cognitive changes?

Neuropsychological testing, pre- and post-accident comparison (school records, work evaluations), and witness testimony from family and coworkers.
