What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden impact or violent movement damages the brain. TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe brain trauma that causes permanent disability.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), traumatic brain injuries contribute to thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations in the United States each year.
Brain injuries may affect:
- Memory
- Speech
- Concentration
- Motor skills
- Emotional stability
- Daily functioning
Even a “mild” brain injury can lead to lasting symptoms and serious complications.
Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries are frequently caused by preventable accidents involving negligence or reckless behavior.
Common Causes Include:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle crashes
- Pedestrian accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Workplace accidents
- Sports injuries
- Construction accidents
The CDC reports that motor vehicle accidents remain one of the leading causes of traumatic brain injuries in the United States.
Why Traumatic Brain Injuries Are So Serious?
Brain injuries can affect nearly every aspect of a victim’s life. Many people experience ongoing medical complications, emotional distress, and reduced earning ability after a serious TBI.
Research published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows that traumatic brain injuries can result in long-term neurological and psychological complications that significantly impact quality of life.
Long-term effects may include:
- Chronic pain
- Memory loss
- Depression and anxiety
- Cognitive impairment
- Personality changes
- Reduced mobility
- Sleep disorders
Some victims require lifelong rehabilitation and medical care.
What to Do After a Traumatic Brain Injury Accident?
The steps you take after an accident can affect both your health and your injury claim.
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Brain injuries should never be ignored. Prompt medical care can help detect internal injuries and create important medical documentation.
According to the CDC, delayed treatment can increase the risk of complications after a traumatic brain injury.
Follow Your Doctor’s Treatment Plan
Consistent treatment helps protect your health and strengthens your claim. Missing appointments or stopping treatment early may hurt your case.
Document the Accident
Helpful evidence may include:
- Medical records
- Accident reports
- Photos of injuries
- Witness statements
- Imaging scans and evaluations
Strong evidence can improve the outcome of your claim.
Contact a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
An experienced attorney can help investigate the accident, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and pursue compensation for your injuries.
Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) symptoms can appear immediately after an accident or develop gradually over time. In some cases, symptoms may worsen days or even weeks later, making early medical evaluation extremely important.
Because brain injuries affect everyone differently, symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe cognitive and physical impairment.
Common Symptoms Include:
- Persistent Headaches – Ongoing or worsening headaches after a crash
- Memory Problems – Difficulty remembering conversations, events, or information
- Confusion – Feeling disoriented or struggling to process thoughts clearly
- Dizziness or Balance Issues – Trouble standing, walking, or maintaining coordination
- Nausea or Vomiting – Common signs after a head injury or concussion
- Blurred Vision – Sensitivity to light or difficulty focusing
- Mood Swings – Irritability, anxiety, depression, or sudden emotional changes
- Sensitivity to Light or Noise – Increased discomfort around bright lights or loud sounds
- Fatigue – Extreme tiredness or lack of energy throughout the day
- Difficulty Concentrating – Trouble focusing, multitasking, or completing daily activities
- Loss of Consciousness – Even brief unconsciousness can indicate a serious brain injury
Serious Symptoms May Require Immediate Medical Attention
More severe traumatic brain injuries can lead to:
- Seizures
- Slurred speech
- Loss of coordination
- Personality changes
- Permanent cognitive impairment
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), traumatic brain injuries are a major cause of long-term disability and can have lasting physical, emotional, and cognitive effects if left untreated.
Early Diagnosis Matters
Seeking medical attention as soon as symptoms appear can improve both your health outcome and your ability to document the injury for a legal claim. Early treatment and proper medical records are often critical in traumatic brain injury cases.
Compensation Available in a Traumatic Brain Injury Claim
Victims suffering from traumatic brain injuries may be entitled to significant financial compensation due to the serious and long-term effects these injuries can have on daily life, employment, and overall health.
Because traumatic brain injuries often require extensive medical treatment and ongoing care, it is important to fully evaluate both current and future damages before accepting any settlement.
Compensation May Include:
- Medical Expenses
Covers emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and specialist care. - Future Medical Care
Compensation for ongoing treatment, neurological care, therapy, and future medical needs related to the injury. - Rehabilitation Costs
Includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, and other recovery services. - Lost Wages
If your injury prevents you from working temporarily or permanently, you may recover lost income. - Reduced Earning Capacity
Compensation may be available if the injury affects your ability to return to your previous job or earn the same level of income. - Pain and Suffering
Covers physical pain, emotional distress, and the overall impact the injury has on your quality of life. - Emotional Distress
Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other psychological effects may also be considered in your claim. - Long-Term Disability Costs
Severe brain injuries may require lifelong assistance, home modifications, or ongoing support services..
Because of these long-term consequences, traumatic brain injury claims are often substantial and require careful evaluation to ensure victims recover the compensation they truly deserve.
How Insurance Companies Handle Brain Injury Claims?
Insurance companies often try to minimize traumatic brain injury claims, especially when symptoms are not immediately visible.
Adjusters may argue:
- The injury is not severe
- Symptoms are exaggerated
- The victim had a pre-existing condition
- Treatment was unnecessary
At Roxell Richards Law Firm, we understand these tactics and aggressively advocate for injury victims throughout Houston.
Evidence That Can Strengthen a Brain Injury Claim
Strong medical evidence is critical in traumatic brain injury cases.
Important Evidence Includes:
- CT scans and MRIs
- Neurological evaluations
- Neuropsychological testing
- Medical records
- Expert testimony
- Witness statements
- Accident reconstruction reports
Our legal team works closely with medical experts to build strong claims for injured clients.
Long-Term Costs of a Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries often create serious financial burdens for victims and families.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that severe TBIs can require ongoing rehabilitation, therapy, and long-term medical support for years after the initial injury.
Long-term costs may include:
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Cognitive rehabilitation
- In-home care
- Assistive medical equipment
- Lost future income
These damages are important factors when calculating compensation.

My experience with Roxell Richards law firm was nothing short of incredible. The effort and energy given to my case was phenomenal, it really made my job easy. From the initial intake conversation to the close statements and disbursement I have been very impressed and pleased. I had been with two others firms before this one and they both were subpar as far as results, communication and the effort they gave. Overall I am very pleased and I’ve already recommended you guys to two individuals who have been involved in accidents. Keep up the work ethics that you guys implement here at this firm it’s noticeable and appreciated, thanks again for the seamless effort in my case.

It was a pleasure working with the Roxell Richards Law Firm. After my accident I was unsure what to do or if I had a case or how to go about it. I spoke with Roxell Richards directly about my case and she made me feel at ease when she accepted my case and told me I had nothing to worry about. The firm instantly started working on my case by setting me up with doctors, chiropractors, pain management specialists and so on. I felt like I had a team of doctors and lawyers on my side. Roxell Richards Law Firm stayed in contact with me updates and information on my case. They were there to answer all my questions and concerns. Final Roxell Richards Law Firm got the insurance company to settle in my favor for over $100000. It was pleasure working with Roxell Richards and if I ever need an attorney again, she will be my first phone call.

I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication to my case. If you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about your well-being and delivers results, I highly recommend Roxell Richards Law Firm.

Shout out to Attorney Richards and her whole team! She means what she say, "GET PAID, NOT PLAYED"! I switched to Roxell Richards Law Firm from another law firm after hearing her commercial on FM 92.1. Roxell Richards Law Firm picked up where the other law firm dropped the ball and delivered! This law team possesses professionalism and timely follow-ups with communications via text, phone call, and a portal keeping the client's best interest as a priority. They empathize with the client and WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! And now a few months later, I just got paid!!

To start, the Roxell Richard’s law firm has done a great job on both of my situations. I took interest knowing that they specialize in rideshare accidents and the fact that the team is knowledgeable and work well together. I also noticed that the firm consists of young talent from all walks of life. They are thorough and respectful over the phone, but in person, they really have it well put together to say the least. No one wants and looks to have accidents, but after they treated me so well on the first one, the moment I had the second accident, I immediately called and they got right on it! I must say, I am extremely happy with my results and you will be happy as well. My advice to you: give them a try!

My experience with Roxell Richards law firm has been overwhelming at times to say the least. I believe that this can happen in any accident case, but I can also say that when I would contact her office she has always been able to clam my anxiety and clear up any concerns I may be experiencing at the time. I would definitely recommend her if you’ re in need of a great accident lawyer. I believe she is fare and if you are dissatisfied about anything she will do her best to rectify the problem. Last but not least, with a smile on my face “I got paid and not played”. I’m loving my new vehicle!
Thank you,

After a long strenuous battle, we were able to get our money which the firm literally promised our deposit and whatever rent monies were paid into our lease. I received that and more! I am so grateful that Ms. Richards took her to represent us with no upfront fees. It takes a lot of courage to stand up for multiple people who are minorities in an over looked area and give us the respect we deserved because we are humans. I would recommend this law firm if they can represent you depending on your legal circumstances.

I had knee surgery 2 years ago and after the car accident, it became unstable and was hurting everyday. I wasn’t so sure about getting a lawyer when I had a car accident and did not know where to start. Roxell and her team made the process extremely easy and helped me get my knee therapy. Not only that, they completely handled the communications with the insurance and made the experience hassle free, Martha especially was extremely helpful. She was very honest and showed the transparency of the process from beginning to end - my favorite part! Highly recommend to get in touch with this firm.
