Williford Law | Legal Authority for Traumatic Brain Injuries and Catastrophic Neurological Harm
A Traumatic Brain Injury Doesn’t Just Change the Brain — It Changes the Entire Life Around It
When a person suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI), everything changes — work, family, memory, personality, independence.
The injury may be invisible to others, but to the person living through it — and their loved ones — the consequences are permanent and profound.
At Williford Law, we represent clients in and across Texas who are living with the effects of brain trauma caused by negligence. We build serious, expert-supported claims for:
- Victims of car crashes, falls, and workplace trauma
- Parents of children suffering birth-related brain injury
- Families facing wrongful death from TBI complications
We understand these cases are medically complex, emotionally draining, and legally high-stakes, and we litigate them with the seriousness they demand.
Brain Injury Cases We Handle
- Motor vehicle collisions (car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian)
- Fall injuries (premises liability, unsafe stairs, workplace drops)
- Blunt force trauma from falling objects or collapsing structures
- Construction, maritime, and industrial head injuries
- Sports-related and school-based brain trauma
- Drowning or oxygen-deprivation brain injuries
- Birth injuries (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, delayed delivery)
- Assault and violent attack claims resulting in TBI
- Medical malpractice involving failure to detect or treat brain injury
- Wrongful death from complications of severe head trauma
Whether your injury occurred on the road, at work, or under medical care, if negligence played a role, you deserve full accountability.

FAQs: Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuits in Texas
What if my scans are normal but I still have symptoms?
This is common in mild TBI and post-concussion syndrome. We use neuropsych testing, expert testimony, and day-in-the-life records to prove real-world impact even without clear imaging.
Can I bring a claim if symptoms appeared weeks later?
Yes. Many brain injury symptoms are delayed — particularly cognitive, sleep, or emotional issues. We’ll help establish a timeline with medical documentation and family testimony.
How long do I have to file a brain injury lawsuit in Texas?
Generally two years from the date of injury, but exceptions apply (especially in cases involving children or medical negligence). Contact us early to preserve your claim.
What’s a brain injury case worth?
Severe TBI cases involving permanent disability can result in six- or seven-figure recoveries, depending on care needs, lost earnings, and life expectancy. Every case is unique — we build it from the ground up.
