Brain Injury Lawyer in Burleson

Brain Injury Representation Backed by Board-Certified Trial Experience

Brain injuries range from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Each can present different medical and legal considerations. Some effects appear immediately. Others, including cognitive difficulties, emotional changes, and behavioral shifts, may become more apparent over weeks or months. At Coontz Cochran, we provide personalized legal representation for brain injury clients throughout Burleson, Johnson County, and Greater Fort Worth, with a focus on documenting how an injury has affected daily life and what ongoing care or support may be needed.

Brain injuries can result from vehicle collisions, falls, workplace incidents, and other traumatic events. Establishing a claim requires careful attention to medical records, diagnostic findings, employment effects, and changes in functioning, along with evidence connecting those effects to the responsible party. We build that record from the start so that both current losses and long-term needs are part of the picture.

What a Brain Injury Claim May Involve

The categories of harm in a brain injury case often extend beyond the initial medical bills.

A thorough evaluation may address:

• Past and future medical care
• Rehabilitation
• Lost income
• Reduced earning capacity
• Pain
• Emotional distress
• Costs associated with long-term assistance or caregiving

The scope of a potential claim depends on the facts of the injury and how it has affected the client’s life and future.

Liability may fall on a negligent driver, an employer, a property owner, a product manufacturer, or another responsible party, depending on how the injury occurred.

Attorney Coontz’s personal injury practice covers:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Construction accidents
• Premises liability
• Wrongful death claims

These cases may involve brain injuries. Relevant evidence may include:

• Accident reports
• Medical records and imaging
• Expert opinions
• Witness accounts
• Employment records
• Testimony from family members or caregivers who can speak to the changes they’ve observed

Steps to Take After a Brain Injury in Burleson

If you or someone you care for has sustained a suspected brain injury, the first priority is medical evaluation. Some symptoms develop gradually, making early and thorough assessment important.

From there, documentation becomes the foundation of any potential claim:

• Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Get a medical evaluation as soon as possible, even if symptoms seem minor at first. Symptoms can change over time, and early medical records may help document their progression.
• Document Everything: Keep detailed records of all medical visits, symptoms, prescribed treatments, and related expenses. Note changes in your daily functioning, your ability to work, and any assistance you’ve needed at home.
• Preserve Accident Information: Hold on to any available evidence from the incident, including photographs, contact information for witnesses, and communications with insurance companies. Avoid giving recorded statements or signing settlement documents without understanding what you’re agreeing to.
• Consult Our Brain Injury Attorneys: We offer a free consultation to discuss your legal options. We can explain what your claim may involve, what information we need to evaluate it, and what you can expect throughout the process.

Texas Filing Deadlines for Brain Injury Claims

How Long Do I Have to File a Brain Injury Case?

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003, personal injury claims are generally subject to a two-year limitations period, but exceptions and case-specific accrual rules may apply. The deadline that governs your claim depends on the facts, including who is responsible and how the injury occurred. Speaking with a brain injury lawyer promptly allows time to investigate the circumstances and evaluate the applicable deadline.
