How We Help Brain Injury Survivors

Life after a traumatic brain injury often looks very different than it did before the incident. Some people experience headaches, dizziness, and sensitivity to light. Others notice changes in memory, concentration, mood, or personality. Families frequently shoulder new caregiving roles, all while worrying about medical bills and lost income.

When you work with us, we take time to understand these changes and how they affect your daily life. We review how the injury happened, what treatment you have received, and what doctors expect in the future. Our goal is to build a picture of the full impact of the injury, not just the emergency room visit, so we can discuss an appropriate legal strategy.

You will have direct access to Attorney Michael Muñoz and our team throughout your case. We value honest communication, which means we explain each step, answer your questions, and give straightforward feedback about your options. If Spanish is more comfortable for you or a family member, we can discuss your case in Spanish so everyone feels informed.

Common Causes Of Brain Injuries Here

Brain injuries in this area occur in many different ways. Some follow high-speed collisions on roads that run through Mansfield and other parts of Tarrant County. Others happen on unsafe properties, at worksites, in sports settings, or as a result of violent incidents. Regardless of the cause, the consequences can be serious and long-term.

Understanding what led to the injury is a key part of evaluating any potential claim. In some situations, a careless driver may have caused a crash on a busy roadway. In others, a property owner may have failed to address a hazard that led to a fall. Sometimes multiple parties share responsibility, such as a business that ignored safety rules along with an individual who acted recklessly.

Some situations that can lead to brain injuries include:

• Motor vehicle crashes involving cars, pickup trucks, or commercial vehicles
• Falls in stores, apartment complexes, or other properties with unsafe conditions
• Workplace incidents on construction sites or in industrial settings
• Sports and recreational activities without proper safety measures
• Assaults or other violent events that cause trauma to the head

Each case is different, and the details matter. Our firm reviews police reports, incident reports, photographs, and other available information to understand how the injury occurred. If you are unsure whether your situation involves legal responsibility, we can discuss it with you during a free consultation.

What To Do After a Brain Injury

In the days and weeks after a suspected brain injury, it can be difficult to know what to prioritize. Medical care should always come first. Some brain injuries are not obvious on the day of the incident, and symptoms can appear or worsen over time. If you notice headaches, confusion, memory problems, or personality changes, it is important to talk with a doctor right away.

Beyond medical treatment, there are practical steps you can take to protect both your health and any possible claim. These actions help create a clear record of what happened and how the injury is affecting your life. That record can become important if an insurance company questions your symptoms or tries to limit what it pays.

Helpful steps for families coping with a brain injury include:

• Seeking prompt medical evaluation and following doctor recommendations for follow-up care
• Keeping a written journal of symptoms, mood changes, sleep issues, and memory problems
• Saving medical records, bills, and any written instructions from healthcare providers
• Preserving photos, videos, or witness contact information related to the incident
• Not giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before you understand your rights
