Williford Law | Aggressive Representation for Concussions, Skull Trauma, and Traumatic Brain Injuries
A Head Injury Can Change Everything — Your Thinking, Your Future, and Your Life
Head trauma isn’t always visible, but its effects can be devastating. From concussions to life-altering brain injuries, the consequences of head trauma may involve long-term memory loss, chronic pain, mood changes, or permanent disability.
At Williford Law, we represent clients in Texas who have suffered serious head injuries due to negligence, including falls, vehicle collisions, assaults, falling objects, or unsafe premises. We know how to prove the injury, calculate the full scope of the damage, and fight for the recovery you need.
Types of Head Injuries We Litigate
| Injury Type | Description and Risks |
| Concussion | Cracked or shattered skull from a blunt impact, often requiring intervention |
| Contusion / Brain Bleed | Bruising or hemorrhage inside the brain, often needing monitoring/surgery |
| Skull fracture | Damage to nerve fibers, common in car crashes; often causes unconsciousness |
| Penetrating injury | Object pierces skull or brain (e.g., construction site, workplace) |
| Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) | Damage to nerve fibers, common in car crashes, often causes unconsciousness |
| Mild TBI; may cause brain fog, nausea, headaches, and personality changes | Blood accumulation that can cause brain compression and death if untreated |
| Post-concussive syndrome | Lasting symptoms that persist long after the impact, including anxiety, fatigue |
We work with neurologists, radiologists, neuropsychologists, and life care planners to fully diagnose and document your injuries.
Common Causes of Head Injuries
- Motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, or motorcycle collisions)
- Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents on unsafe premises
- Construction site accidents (falling objects, tools, structural collapse)
- Assault or negligent security injuries
- Defective safety gear (helmets, scaffolds, guardrails)
- Poolside or playground falls
- Ladder or stairwell falls due to a lack of railing or code violations
- Sports or recreational equipment failures
If you hit your head — or if someone else caused conditions that led to your head injury — you may have a claim under Texas personal injury law.
Symptoms to Watch For After a Head Injury
- Headache that won’t go away
- Confusion, disorientation, or memory loss
- Nausea or vomiting
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Blurred vision or slurred speech
- Loss of balance or motor control
- Sudden aggression, depression, or personality changes
- Fatigue, brain fog, or difficulty concentrating
Even a “mild” concussion can result in long-term disability, especially if it’s misdiagnosed or ignored. We help clients get the medical and legal validation they deserve.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
We pursue full damages for head injury victims, including:
- Emergency care, hospitalization, and neurological testing
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Long-term cognitive or psychiatric treatment
- Lost wages and future earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress, PTSD, or anxiety
- Disability or loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death (in cases involving fatal brain trauma)
- Punitive damages where gross negligence is involved
We ensure every aspect of your injury, including future care and loss of brain function, is presented in a clear, trial-ready format.

FAQs: Texas Head Injury Cases
What if the symptoms didn’t appear right away?
That’s common. Many TBIs have a delayed onset. As long as symptoms can be medically connected to the impact, you can still bring a claim.
Can I sue if I hit my head in a fall?
Yes — if the fall occurred due to unsafe premises, employer negligence, or someone else’s misconduct. We’ll investigate the root cause.
What if the ER said I was fine?
Emergency rooms often miss concussions or deeper brain injuries. Follow-up neurological testing and specialist opinions can support your case.
What is the time limit to file?
Texas has a 2-year statute of limitations, but the sooner you act, the better the evidence, diagnosis, and outcome.
