Common Causes of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries often occur suddenly, leaving lasting physical and cognitive effects. Many are preventable and result from negligence or unsafe conditions. Common causes include:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes are leading causes of traumatic brain injuries, even in low-speed collisions.
Falls and Slip-and-Fall Accidents
Falls from heights or on unsafe surfaces can cause serious head trauma, especially in workplaces or public spaces.
Workplace and Industrial Accidents
Construction or industrial workers face risks from falling objects, equipment malfunctions, or explosions.
Medical Malpractice
Surgical errors, oxygen deprivation, or anesthesia mistakes can lead to permanent brain damage.
Sports and Recreational Injuries
Contact sports or improper safety precautions can result in concussions or repeated head trauma.
Acts of Violence
Physical assaults or gunshot wounds can cause severe or penetrating brain injuries with lasting consequences.
Types of Brain Injury Cases We Handle
Brain injuries vary in severity — from concussions that heal over time to traumatic injuries that permanently alter a person’s ability to think, work, and live independently. Our Houston traumatic brain injury lawyers represent clients across the full spectrum of brain injury cases, including:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Often caused by vehicle collisions, falls, or workplace accidents, TBIs can result in cognitive impairment, memory loss, or behavioral changes. We work with medical experts to prove the lasting effects of these injuries and pursue full compensation for care and recovery.
Concussions and Mild Brain Injuries
Even mild brain injuries can have serious consequences when symptoms persist. We ensure insurance companies recognize the real impact of post-concussion syndrome, chronic headaches, and reduced concentration on your daily life.
Penetrating or Open Head Injuries
These occur when an object fractures the skull and damages brain tissue. Such injuries often require emergency surgery and long-term rehabilitation. We fight to cover medical costs, therapy, and loss of earning potential.
Anoxic and Hypoxic Brain Injuries
When the brain is deprived of oxygen — due to medical malpractice, near-drowning, or anesthesia errors — it can lead to severe and permanent damage. We pursue claims against negligent medical providers and facilities responsible for these preventable injuries.
Birth-Related Brain Injuries
Oxygen deprivation or trauma during delivery can cause lifelong conditions such as cerebral palsy or developmental delays. We represent families in birth injury claims to secure compensation for lifelong care, therapy, and medical expenses.
Secondary Brain Injuries
Swelling, bleeding, or infection following an initial trauma can worsen brain damage. We hold negligent hospitals or healthcare professionals accountable for failing to prevent or manage these complications.
Life After a Brain Injury: What Comes Next
Life after a brain injury is more than just medical recovery — it’s a journey of adaptation and rebuilding. Seek immediate medical attention, even if symptoms seem mild, since head injuries can worsen over time. Follow your treatment plan carefully and keep detailed documentation, including medical reports, test results, and progress notes. Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters until you’ve consulted an experienced Houston brain injury attorney. Your attorney can safeguard your rights, deal with insurance companies, and fight for the full compensation you need to cover medical care, rehabilitation, and long-term support while you focus on healing.

What is Brain Injury Law
Brain injury law in Houston covers cases where someone suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to another’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts. Common causes include car or truck accidents, falls, workplace incidents, and medical malpractice. Victims may seek compensation for medical care, rehabilitation, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term support. Texas statutes, including the Civil Practice & Remedies Code and the Texas Medical Liability Act, protect these rights. Brain injury lawyers guide victims through investigations, evidence collection, and settlements, helping secure justice and necessary recovery resources.
What Does a Brain Injury Lawyer Do?
A brain injury lawyer advocates for individuals who have suffered TBIs due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. They investigate the cause of the injury, gather medical and accident evidence, and identify all responsible parties. Whether the injury stems from a car accident, truck crash, workplace incident, or medical error, your lawyer interprets Texas statutes, negotiates fair settlements, and represents you in court if necessary. They work to secure compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost wages, long-term care, and pain and suffering, ensuring victims have the resources they need to recover fully.
When Do You Need a Brain Injury Lawyer?
You may not realize you need one until medical bills pile up, recovery becomes overwhelming, or insurance companies deny your claim. You should contact a brain injury lawyer as soon as you or a loved one suffers a TBI due to someone else’s negligence. The sooner you act, the stronger your case can be. At Egbuonu Law, we guide victims through brain injuries caused by vehicle accidents, workplace incidents, falls, or medical malpractice, helping you make informed decisions and pursue the compensation you deserve.
How Long Do You Have to File a Brain Injury Claim?
In Houston, you generally have two years from the date of your brain injury to file a personal injury claim, as governed by Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.003(a). If the injury results from medical malpractice, you must file within two years of discovering the injury, but no more than five years from the negligent act, under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §74.251(a). Wrongful death claims related to brain injuries carry a two-year deadline from the date of death, outlined in Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.002. Acting promptly is crucial to preserving your right to seek compensation.
How Much Does a Brain Injury Lawyer Cost?
Hiring a brain injury lawyer often raises concerns about cost, but in personal injury cases, justice doesn’t always require upfront fees. Most cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay only if we win your case. Other services, like reviewing insurance offers or consultations, may involve a flat or hourly rate. At Egbuonu Law, we maintain transparency and fairness in costs, ensuring finances never stand in the way of securing the compensation you need for recovery.
