Brain Injuries

Brain injuries are among the most devastating injuries you can sustain. Impacting nearly every aspect of your life, these injuries can lead to loss of motor function, the ability to communicate, and even death. The expensive treatment required for recovery can be debilitating to most families. If you are able to recover from a brain injury, the inability to work during this process can add to both the economic and emotional stress during this time.

For over a decade, the brain injury attorneys at Guerra & Moore have been helping victims of accidents throughout the Rio Grande Valley get the money they need to lead a decent life. We will fight tirelessly for you and your family, helping to ensure you are given every penny you deserve for your pain and suffering.

Leading Causes of Brain Injury

Brain injury is most often the result of a blow to the head during an accident. Accidents that can result in brain injury include:

1. Automobile accidents
2. Semi truck accidents
3. Worksite accidents
4. Slip and fall accidents
5. Pedestrian accidents

When you are involved in an accident, brain injuries may not be immediately apparent. It is important that you see a doctor as soon as possible after your accident to determine if any damage has been done to your head. The sooner a brain injury is spotted the higher your chances of surviving and recovering from the damages.

Traumatic Brain Injury

The most serious form of brain injury is traumatic brain injury (TBI). Symptoms of TBI include:

1. Frequent headaches
2. Severe mood swings
3. Difficulties sleeping
4. Loss of speech and cognitive abilities
5. Loss of sight, taste, or smell

Due to the complexity of the brain, traumatic brain injuries vary widely from case to case. If left untreated, TBI may result in death. Even with treatment, full recovery is rare, and your ability to perform basic functions like working may never be restored. Because the effects of your injury may be idiosyncratic, it might be hard to convince a judge or jury of the extent of your injuries.

Victims of TBI and their families throughout the McAllen community have a right to seek compensation for their damages. When you are injured due to someone else’s negligence, it is that person's responsibility to provide for all of your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The experienced attorneys at Guerra & Moore are prepared to help you and your family get the full compensation you deserve.
