Common Signs and Symptoms of TBI
A traumatic brain injury occurs when there’s sudden brain trauma. Depending on the level and intensity of the injury, a head injury can lead to memory loss, emotional and mood issues, slurred speech, personality changes, confusion, disorientation and serious headaches. Unlike other physical injuries, TBIs, particularly in moderate cases, may not always show until after a few hours or even days following an accident. For that reason, it is critical that you seek medical attention immediately after an accident in order to establish whether you have suffered a head injury. Beginning treatment as soon as the accident occurs gives you the best chance for a full
recovery.
If you suspect that you have suffered a head or brain injury as a result of someone else’s negligence, you should always discuss a possible legal claim with our skilled Corpus Christi TBI lawyers. At The Burkett Law Firm, we are familiar with the causes, symptoms, care, and treatment of TBI. We use that knowledge and expertise to protect the legal rights of individuals struggling with serious traumatic brain injuries that have been caused by other people’s negligence.
What Compensation Can I Get in My Traumatic Brain Injury Case?
Whether mild or severe, TBI symptoms can hinder your ability to resume work, go back to school, or even participate in everyday activities and conversations. Treatment for TBIs can quickly add up to millions of dollars, and most individuals who suffer these head injuries never fully recover to live a normal life again. Fortunately, injury victims and their family members may be able to recover compensation for all the damages resulting from a TBI caused by another person’s negligent act. Some of these damages include:
- Medical bills
- Rehabilitation costs
- Home modification requirements
- Loss of wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Emotional distress
Proving Fault in a TBI Case
Showing that someone else is responsible for your traumatic brain injury is not always easy.

That’s why you need an expert’s opinion and representation to build a strong case.
