How Can a Houston Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Help You?

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) have long-term effects on a person’s health, wealth, and enjoyment of life. Funds from a Houston TBI lawsuit can help afford better care and provide a brighter future.

Traumatic brain injuries and concussions are among the most serious and devastating types of injuries that can result from accidents. A TBI occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain, either by penetrating the skull or by shaking the brain within it. TBIs can affect a person’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functions, and can have long-term consequences for their families, colleagues, and friends.

If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. At Pierce Skrabanek, we have extensive experience in handling TBI and concussion injury cases, including a $14 million result for an offshore worker who suffered a severe head injury on the job.

Located in Houston, we understand how devasting brain injuries are to individuals and families. Whether a TBI occurs in the workplace, from a slip and fall injury, or a car accident, our traumatic brain injury lawyers can help. Contact us today for a free consultation at (​​832) 690-7000 — we will work tirelessly to protect your rights and interests against insurance companies and liable parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Traumatic Brain Injury Act?

The Traumatic Brain Injury Act (TBI Act) is a federal law that was enacted in 1996 and reauthorized in 2014. It provides funding for research, prevention, education, and service delivery related to traumatic brain injury (TBI). It also defines TBI as an acquired injury to the brain that does not include congenital or degenerative disorders or birth trauma. These legally established definitions help your attorney outline your injuries in court, and pursue compensation for the preventable harm you’ve suffered.

Should I accept an insurance payout for a traumatic brain injury?

If you are offered a payout for a traumatic brain injury by an insurance representative, do not accept it before consulting with your own lawyer first. Insurance companies are businesses, and their employees often work to minimize payouts to injury survivors so that the company stays profitable. Their interests are not the same as yours, whereas your TBI attorney from Pierce Skrabanek works only for you.

What is the lifelong cost of a traumatic brain injury?

The lifelong costs associated with TBI include emergency care, hospitalization, rehabilitation, medication, home modifications, assistive devices, and long-term residential care. For individuals and families, this means millions of dollars spent personally, and nationally, the CDC estimates $76.5 billion spent annually on care for citizens with TBI coupled with their loss of productivity. 

Brain injuries add costs and burdens to people with TBI, their families, and society. That is why it’s important to seek legal help if you have suffered a TBI due to someone else’s negligence — these costs should not burden your loved ones. Hold the responsible parties accountable by contacting Pierce Skrabanek today.

How long does a person have to file a traumatic brain injury claim in Houston?

According to Texas law, you have 2 years from the date of a traumatic brain injury to file a personal injury claim against the responsible party. This is known as the statute of limitations and it applies to most types of injury cases in Houston and throughout Texas. 

It is advisable you consult with a qualified brain injury attorney from Pierce Skrabanek as soon as possible after your injury. Reach out to us online or by calling (​​832) 690-7000 — we can help you determine the best course of action for your case and protect your rights and interests.
