Dallas Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney

If a brain injury has changed your life, you’re not alone – and you’re not stuck.

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be one of the most overwhelming things you or your family ever go through. One minute you’re driving to work, walking through a parking lot, or playing sports – and the next, your life is filled with medical appointments, missed work, and symptoms you don’t even know how to explain.

Headaches. Brain fog. Mood swings. Memory lapses. They don’t show up on an X-ray – but they show up in your daily life.

At Genthe Law Firm, we’ve helped people across Dallas and North Texas who are dealing with these exact challenges. If your brain injury happened in an accident caused by someone else – or because someone failed to keep you safe – you may have a legal case. More importantly, you may have options for medical care, financial support, and a way forward.

Let’s talk about what that looks like.

What Counts as a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury happens when the brain is damaged by a sudden blow, jolt, or force – something that interrupts how your brain functions. It could be a crash, a fall, a violent incident, or even a medical mistake. And not every TBI is obvious at first.

You might have been told you were “fine.” But now you’re dealing with:

• Persistent headaches
• Light and sound sensitivity
• Trouble concentrating
• Sleep problems
• Personality changes
• Anxiety or depression

These symptoms might not show up on a scan – but they can completely disrupt your work, relationships, and independence.

Common types of TBIs:

• Concussion (mild TBI)
• Contusions (bruising on the brain)
• Diffuse axonal injury
• Penetrating injury
• Lack of oxygen to the brain (anoxic injury)

And remember: mild doesn’t mean minor. Some “mild” TBIs last for years.

How Do Brain Injuries Happen in Dallas?

Dallas is a fast-moving city, and with that comes risk. We regularly represent clients with brain injuries from:

• Car accidents on I-35E, I-635, Highway 75, or surface streets like Mockingbird and Walnut Hill
• 18-wheeler and commercial vehicle crashes
• Falls at poorly maintained apartment complexes, retail stores, or construction sites
• Workplace accidents, especially in construction and industrial settings in Garland, Mesquite, and Irving
• Violent assaults or physical attacks
• School and sports-related injuries
• Medical negligence, including birth injuries or surgical errors at Dallas hospitals

If someone else’s actions – or inaction – led to the injury, you may be able to file a personal injury claim and pursue compensation.

Here’s What We Actually Do for You

Most people don’t realize how much a lawyer can actually help until they’re in the thick of it. It’s not just about paperwork – it’s about getting your life back on track.

At Genthe Law Firm, we:

✅ Take the pressure off your shoulders

You’ve got enough to deal with. We handle the legal legwork so you can focus on your recovery and your family.

✅ Work directly with medical specialists

We help you connect with the right neurologists, neuropsychologists, and brain injury experts – especially if you haven’t been taken seriously by other doctors or insurance providers.

That means collecting medical records, documenting symptoms, bringing in expert testimony, and showing how this injury affects your work, relationships, and future.

✅ Handle the insurance company

We deal with adjusters, denials, lowball offers, and delays – so you don’t have to. If they don’t offer a fair settlement, we’re ready to take your case to court.

✅ Fight for every dollar you need to move forward

That includes current and future medical costs, therapy, lost wages, loss of future earnings, pain and suffering, and any long-term care needs.

You won’t pay anything upfront – we work on contingency, so we don’t get paid unless you win.

The Invisible Injury That Changes Everything

What makes TBIs so difficult is how invisible they are – especially at first. You might have walked away from the accident. You may have even been told you were okay. But days or weeks later, things started to feel… off.

You’re not imagining it.

Brain injuries often show up over time, and they hit hard. People may notice changes before you do – maybe you’re more irritable, forgetful, or just don’t feel like yourself.

If you’re noticing these shifts – or if people close to you are – it’s worth getting checked. And it’s worth talking to a lawyer who understands how to prove what you’re going through.

Texas Law: What You Need to Know

Here’s how Texas law applies to brain injury claims:

• You have 2 years to file a personal injury claim in most cases
• Comparative fault applies – if you’re found partially responsible, your settlement may be reduced
• Medical malpractice cases have caps on non-economic damages
• Wrongful death and survival claims may apply if the TBI resulted in fatal complications

We’ll walk you through what applies to your case and help you avoid missing critical deadlines.

What Can a TBI Case Be Worth?

The value of a brain injury case depends on how the injury affects your life – physically, emotionally, and financially. Here are real examples from past TBI cases in Texas based on our research:

• $4 million – for a severe TBI caused by a crash with a commercial truck
• $252,000–$850,000 range – for mild TBI cases with temporary but significant disruption
• $30 million – for a child who suffered a life-altering brain injury due to apartment negligence
• $10.22 million – for a woman with a mild TBI who experienced serious long-term symptoms
• Confidential multi-million settlement – for a severe brain injury from a car accident

These cases likely involved strong evidence, medical support, and aggressive legal action – exactly what we offer our clients.

What to Do If You or a Loved One Has a Brain Injury

Here’s what we recommend if you’re dealing with a suspected or confirmed TBI:

1. Get medical attention immediately – even if symptoms are mild
2. Follow all treatment recommendations and keep your appointments
3. Document your symptoms – even the ones that seem small or “weird”
4. Avoid giving a recorded statement to any insurance company without legal advice
5. Call a brain injury attorney as soon as possible – especially if things feel overwhelming

FAQ: Brain Injury Lawsuits in Dallas

Do I have a case if I didn’t lose consciousness?
Yes. Many TBIs occur without passing out. If you’re experiencing cognitive, emotional, or physical changes after a hit or jolt to the head, get evaluated.

Will this go to court?
Maybe – but most cases settle before trial. That said, we prepare every case as if it’s going to court so we’re always ready.

How much will it cost me to hire Genthe Law Firm?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis – so we don’t get paid unless you do.

How long does a case like this take?
Some cases settle in a few months, others take longer depending on treatment progress and insurance negotiations.

What if my scans are normal but I still feel off?
That’s common with TBIs. We work with experts who can run cognitive and neuropsychological testing to document the true impact of your injury.
