Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Why Concussions After a Crash Are Often More Serious Than They Appear
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Why Concussions After a Crash Are Often More Serious Than They Appear
You don’t have to hit your head to suffer a brain injury — and insurance companies know that.
What Makes TBIs Different
A brain injury changes everything — work, memory, personality, relationships. In crashes on I-45, FM-1488, or anywhere in Montgomery County, sudden acceleration and deceleration can slam the brain against the skull even without a direct hit.
Symptoms may be delayed for days or weeks — which insurance companies use against you.
Common Signs of a Brain Injury
- Headaches that worsen over time
- Memory and concentration problems
- Dizziness and balance issues
- Light and noise sensitivity
- Personality or mood changes
Many victims look “fine” on the surface — while their life collapses behind the scenes.
How We Prove Invisible Injuries
We partner with neurologists and TBI specialists to:
- Order advanced imaging (MRI, DTI)
- Conduct cognitive and neuropsychological testing
- Track symptom progression and functional disruption
The key is documentation — early and consistent — so insurers cannot dismiss the damage.
The True Cost of a Brain Injury
Brain injuries often lead to:
- Lost earning ability
- Long-term therapy and treatment
- Permanent behavioral changes
- Medication and specialist care for life
A settlement must account for a lifetime of challenges and care needs.
