Texas Brain Injury Lawyers

While there are online resources that state that a traumatic brain injury is worth around $100,000 on average, it really varies on a case-by-case basis. If you were injured due to the negligence of a large corporation, your TBI case could be worth millions. If your TBI was the result of an accident where you were the cause, you may receive no settlement at all.

Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries, according to the Mayo Clinic. The fall could be off a ladder, downstairs, in the bathtub, or something else entirely. TBI’s from falls are more common in older adults and young children.

The CDC estimates that there are 1.5 million traumatic brain injuries in the United States each year.

The first step in diagnosing a traumatic brain injury is to realize something is wrong. After an accident, some symptoms to look for include:

• – unable to follow directions
• – incoherent speech
• – cannot move eyes or limbs
• – concussion

If any of those symptoms exist, or if you believe you or a loved one may have a brain injury, you should see a doctor immediately. The doctor will run either a CT scan or MRI to evaluate whether there is a TBI, and then start treatment if necessary.
