Brain injury after an accident? Call (210) 996-2237 for a free consultation with Caquias Law Group, PLLC. Se habla español.
A brain injury is not always obvious right away. After any blow to the head, get medical care, even if you feel fine. Tell your doctor about headaches, dizziness, memory problems, confusion, mood changes, or trouble concentrating. Ask family members to write down changes they notice. Those notes and medical records can matter later.
Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can appear hours, days, or weeks after an accident. They include:
If you notice any of these after an accident, see a doctor.
Caquias Law Group, PLLC handles brain injury claims arising from:
Because a brain injury can affect memory, work, and relationships for years, a claim may include future medical care, therapy, in-home help, lost earnings and lost earning capacity, physical pain, mental anguish, and physical impairment. Doctors, neuropsychologists, and life care planners may be used to show the injury and estimate future needs. For more on how Texas measures these damages, see our serious injury page.
When a brain injury takes a life, the family may have a wrongful death claim.
If you or a family member suffered a brain injury in San Antonio, Harlingen, or the Rio Grande Valley, call (210) 996-2237 (San Antonio) or (956) 435-7789 (Harlingen) for a free consultation. No fee unless you win.*
Yes. Many injuries (like herniated discs or internal issues) do not show up immediately. Going to a doctor creates a medical record that links your symptoms to the accident. Photos of bruises and injuries are also critical since these heal and may not appear in medical records.
In addition to medical bills, claims may include lost wages, loss of earning capacity, loss of household services, pre- and post-judgment interest, and future care costs. A life care planner may be brought in to project long-term needs.
1. Saying ‘I’m fine’ when injured. 2. Missing doctor’s appointments (creates gaps in care). 3. Talking about the case with people who aren’t confidential. 4. Having new accidents that complicate or sever damages from the original claim.
Yes. Posting photos or updates that contradict claimed injuries (e.g., at the gym, traveling, or hanging Christmas lights) can damage credibility and be used against you.
It depends on the injuries, the length of treatment, and how the insurance company responds. Some claims resolve in a few months; others take a year or more, especially if a lawsuit is filed. Either way, the client always has the final say on whether to settle.
