What Is Traumatic Brain Injury in Dallas, TX?
Any TBI in Dallas is potentially very serious. A blow to the head or a fall can cause damage to the brain - this can occur in several ways. Brain injuries can cause temporary or permanent damage, and impair victims physically, cognitively, mentally, and emotionally.
A head injury accident is a significant risk factor for dementia, and certain types of traumatic brain injury may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease. Multiple traumas can result in Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive brain condition that is linked to repeated head trauma, often seen in American football athletes.
Traumatic Brain Injury Symptoms
Brain injuries can severely alter any function of the brain, including how we think, learn, remember and talk. Symptoms can vary widely, depending on whether the injury is mild, moderate, or severe. In severe cases, the individual may become comatose or not survive. Symptoms of TBI may include:
- Loss of consciousness (brief or prolonged)
- Anxiety/nervousness
- Confusion
- Depression
- Facial weakness
- Lethargy/fatigue
- Lightheadedness/dizziness
- Loss of bladder control
- Memory loss or issues
- Mild to severe headaches, including migraines
- Nausea/vomiting
- Problems breathing
- Slurred speech
- Seizures.
People with brain injuries may experience temporary or permanent major changes in their personality may struggle to control emotions or react appropriately or may have problems with speech, hearing, or vision. If you’ve suffered a brain injury, seek medical treatment right away (even if symptoms seem mild).

DFW Traumatic Brain Injury Causes
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 176 people die of brain injury every day in the United States. The CDC recognizes brain injuries as a major cause of disability and death. Some of the causes of brain injuries include:

- Bicycle accidents
- Birth injuries
- Bus accidents

How Do Brain Injuries Affect Dallas Victims?
A TBI is life-altering and the consequences can last a lifetime. The effects of brain injuries can be long-lasting and far-reaching. Falls are the second leading cause of TBI-related death, according to the CDC. Many people survive brain injuries, and the effects of TBI are very much on a spectrum of traumatic brain injury severity. Mild brain injuries can be less obvious but cause concerning traumatic brain injury symptoms like:
- Short-term memory loss
- Trouble concentrating
- Personality changes.
Even minor effects of TBI can make it difficult to function to full capacity at school or work. Severe brain injuries can cause permanent disability and paralysis. Victims of TBI may require around-the-clock care, and in some cases, ventilation and feeding support.
No matter how an injury occurs, if the injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, victims and their families may be able to recover compensation. A head injury law firm that understands the complexities of TBI cases can advocate for future care needs, compensation for lost earnings, and other damages.
What Can a TBI Victim Recover in a Texas Brain Injury Lawsuit?
Brain injury victims want life to return to normal, but unfortunately, this is not always possible. Some brain injury victims are unable to walk again, and may not be able to return to school or work. Traumatic brain injury treatment and recovery are expensive - especially when a brain injury leaves a victim with a lifelong disability. A brain injury claim may recover compensation for all of the ways that your injuries impact your life, including:
- Medical bills related to your injury (traumatic brain injury treatment)
- Rehab and nursing home care (traumatic brain injury rehabilitation)
- Future medical care you’ll need for the rest of your life
- Lost earnings or loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering.
Not all lawyers can get the same results. Choose a brain injury law firm in Dallas with a proven record of success. Brooks and Radchenko work with some of the top investigators and expert witnesses to understand liability and damages.
