What Compensation Can You Recover After a Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury can result in overwhelming financial and emotional costs. In Texas, you may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include medical bills, lost wages, future rehabilitation costs, and long-term care expenses. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Severe TBI cases often require lifelong care, with costs exceeding $1.5 million. Settlements in Texas range from $100,000 for mild injuries to over $30 million for severe, permanent disabilities. Our firm works with medical experts to ensure your claim reflects the full scope of your losses.
How Long Do You Have to File a Brain Injury Claim in Texas?
Under Texas law, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can permanently bar you from recovering compensation. That’s why it’s critical to speak with a brain injury attorney as soon as possible.
Early legal intervention allows us to preserve evidence, document your injuries, and build a strong case before insurance companies attempt to minimize your claim. If your injury occurred in Galveston County, our team can quickly assess your case and help you take timely legal action.
Will Insurance Cover Brain Injury Rehabilitation in Texas?
Texas is the only state that requires major insurers to cover comprehensive brain injury rehabilitation. This includes inpatient therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, and long-term care services. However, insurance companies often resist paying the full amount or delay coverage, leaving victims without the care they need.
Attorneys Bill T. Wells and Scott Scherr of The Payne Law Group understand how to enforce your rights under Texas law. We work with medical providers and insurance experts to ensure your rehabilitation is fully documented and covered. Our legal team fights to hold insurers accountable and secure the funding necessary for your recovery and long-term independence.
How Can a Brain Injury Affect Your Life Long-Term?
Traumatic brain injuries can have lasting effects on your ability to work, live independently, and maintain relationships. Many victims experience cognitive impairments, memory loss, mood disorders, and physical limitations. These challenges often require ongoing therapy, home modifications, and caregiver support.
In Galveston County, the cost of long-term care can be significant. Without proper legal representation, you risk accepting a settlement that doesn’t reflect the full impact of your injury. Our firm ensures your claim accounts for future income loss, medical needs, and quality-of-life changes, not just immediate expenses.
