  • Workplace injuries (construction site falls, falling objects)

FAQs

  • How do I know if I have a traumatic brain injury claim?

    If you suffered a head injury in an accident caused by someone else, you may have a claim. Symptoms such as memory loss, dizziness, speech issues, or chronic headaches indicate a possible TBI.

  • How long do I have to file a TBI lawsuit in Texas?

    You have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim.
