Williford Law | Relentless Representation for Concussions, Brain Damage, and Lifelong Cognitive Disability
You Can’t See the Damage. But You Live With It Every Day.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) don’t always show up on a scan, but they change lives permanently.
They steal memory, focus, language, balance, and emotional control. They disrupt careers, family dynamics, and a person’s ability to function in everyday life. And when they’re caused by negligence, you deserve a legal team that understands both the complexity and the cost.
At Williford Law, we represent clients across Texas who are navigating the daily reality of traumatic brain injuries. Whether you’re recovering from a crash-related concussion, living with cognitive decline, or advocating for a loved one in long-term care, we build medically anchored, trial-grade claims designed to recover everything this injury has taken from you.
We Handle TBI Cases Involving:
- Motor vehicle collisions (car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian)
- Falls from unsafe premises (stairs, scaffolding, wet floors, loose railings)
- Workplace and construction site head trauma
- Physical assault, domestic violence, and shaken injuries
- Bicycle, scooter, or recreational crashes
- Drowning or near-drowning incidents resulting in hypoxic/anoxic injury
- Medical malpractice (e.g., stroke misdiagnosis, anesthesia errors, delivery trauma)
- Defective product injuries (helmets, airbags, child safety seats)
- Youth sports, contact sports, and inadequate concussion protocols
- Wrongful death from brain trauma or associated complications

FAQs: Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuits
What if my brain scan came back normal?
Many TBIs — especially mild or moderate injuries — don’t show up on MRIs or CT scans. We use neuropsych testing, symptom tracking, and witness testimony to prove impairment.
Can I still work with a mild brain injury?
Sometimes. But even if you can return, you may earn less, struggle with multitasking, or require reduced hours. We quantify loss of earning capacity, not just wages.
What’s the statute of limitations for a TBI in Texas?
Generally, two years from the date of injury. However, early documentation and medical evaluation make a major difference in outcome — don’t delay.
What’s a traumatic brain injury case worth?
Depending on severity and permanence, brain injury claims can range from high six figures to multiple millions, especially if long-term care, income loss, and structured settlements are involved.
