Brain Injury Claims Built on Careful Evidence

For more than 25 years, we’ve represented thousands of people injured on the road and in West Texas oilfields. We bring that serious injury background to claims involving head trauma, life-changing limitations, and financial pressure on injured people and their families.

Insurance Defense Insight Shapes Our Litigation Strategy

Our founders previously represented insurance companies. We draw on that background to assess how insurers value claims, identify defense tactics, and anticipate arguments intended to reduce or delay payment. We develop evidence to address those issues rather than relying on the insurer’s account of the accident or injury.

Greg Allen is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates. His courtroom experience informs our case evaluation, litigation preparation, and trial strategy in high-stakes injury cases.

We’ve recovered multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements in serious injury and wrongful death cases. Those results reflect completed cases and don’t predict the outcome of a future claim, which depends on its evidence and circumstances.

Accidents That Can Cause Brain Injuries

A traumatic brain injury is a severe head injury that can affect how a person thinks, remembers, behaves, or functions. Effects may include cognitive impairment, memory loss, and personality changes. Medical documentation is important because some limitations can continue well beyond the initial emergency treatment.

We represent people whose brain injuries arise from motor vehicle collisions, falls, workplace accidents, and violence. Each setting raises different questions about negligence, available evidence, insurance coverage, and legal responsibility.

We evaluate the harm already sustained and the past, current, and future damages connected to the injury. Potential losses depend on the medical evidence, the person’s work history, the effect on daily life, and other case-specific facts.

Evidence Used to Establish Negligence in Sweetwater Claims

Evidence must connect the event and the responsible party’s conduct to the injury and resulting losses. Our responsibility analysis examines how the accident occurred, whose actions contributed to it, and which facts reliable documentation can support.

Our investigation may include:

• Accident reports and other relevant records
• Photographs and witness accounts
• Vehicle data connected to a collision
• Employment information related to work and income
• Medical documentation describing the injury and treatment

Texas follows proportionate responsibility rules, which allocate fault among the people or entities involved. A claimant’s recovery can be reduced by that person’s percentage of responsibility. Someone found more than 50% responsible generally can’t recover damages, although the rule’s application depends on the facts and legal findings.

We prepare claims with litigation in mind. Depending on the circumstances, that work can include filing a lawsuit, conducting discovery, participating in settlement discussions, and proceeding to trial. During discovery, the parties formally request information, documents, and testimony from one another.

Damages & Filing Deadlines in Texas Brain Injury Cases

Texas law allows damages for financial and personal losses caused by a serious brain injury. Economic damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, and diminished earning capacity. Recoverable losses may also include pain and suffering and the injury’s effect on the person’s life, depending on the evidence.

When a brain injury is fatal, the deceased person’s spouse, parents, or children generally may bring a Texas wrongful death claim. Eligibility, available damages, and the relationship between wrongful death and other potential claims require a case-specific review.

Texas negligence lawsuits involving these injuries generally must be filed within two years of the injury date. For someone who was legally disabled when injured, including a minor or a person who was mentally incapacitated, the limitations period generally begins when the disability ends. Other facts can affect the deadline, so no one should assume an exception applies without legal review.
