Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries

Houston car accident attorneys who fight for maximum compensation

Head injuries during a car accident are genuinely concerning because they can impact people’s lives in many ways. It’s important to have an experienced car accident attorney on your side so you can hold negligent drivers accountable and recover the financial compensation you deserve so you can get the help you need. Smith & Hassler are ready to fight for your rights.

Drivers and passengers may hit their heads with great force during a collision. When their head strikes a hard surface – such as the dashboard, windshield, door, or steering wheel – they can suffer a serious injury. This can also lead to an injury of the brain, which controls our movement, thoughts, and emotions.

Our lawyers know how to get results

Car accidents are the second-leading cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI)Any head injury can result in concussion – a mild form of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Symptoms of a concussion may appear soon after an accident. Sometimes, however, symptoms may not appear for days or even weeks. When symptoms appear, they may include:

  • Headaches
  • Speech difficulties
  • Sensitivity to light or sound
  • Memory problems
  • Changes in mood or behavior
  • Nausea
  • Sleeping problems

Treatment for mild concussion usually involves rest, but more serious cases of traumatic brain injury may require surgery or medication. People with head injuries may also require health care at home. There may be multiple follow-up visits with doctors required. As a result of concussion, people may miss time from work, resulting in a loss of income.

If you suffered a concussion in a Houston car accident, you deserve financial compensation. The negligent driver who caused your accident may not accept responsibility and deny doing anything wrong, however.

Insurance companies are supposed to help after you’ve been hurt in a car accident, but they are mostly interested in protecting their bottom line and will try to pay you as little as possible. They may question the seriousness of your injury. They may blame you for causing the accident. Or they’ll make a lowball settlement offer.
