Our Dallas Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys Fight for Your Damages
Pursuing compensation in a traumatic brain injury case involves filing a claim with the liable party’s insurance and/or suing for damages. The damages that you can recover in a traumatic brain injury case can depend on numerous factors. Generally, damages belong to the following two categories:
- Economic damages: These are damages for losses that affect your bank account. Common examples are medical expenses and lost wages (if they can’t work during their recovery). If a traumatic brain injury requires long-term treatment and/or permanently affects a victim’s ability to return to work, you can also seek compensation for future losses, such as future medical bills and loss of earning capacity.
- Non-economic damages: A traumatic brain injury can also cause pain and suffering and other struggles that aren’t strictly monetary in nature. Our brain injury lawyers in Dallas can also help you seek compensation for these losses. Legal professionals and insurance adjusters apply specialized methods to calculate what such losses may be “worth.”
Our goal is to settle a case without going to trial. However, going to court is sometimes necessary if the insurance company is unwilling to offer a fair settlement.
It’s possible a jury may award exemplary damages if a case goes to trial. These are damages meant to punish a liable party for malicious actions or substantial negligence.
If a traumatic brain injury results in a loved one’s passing, we’re also qualified to seek wrongful death damages. Common examples include immediate economic damages, such as funeral and burial expenses, as well as non-economic damages, such as loss of a loved one’s support and presence in your life.

How Long Do You have to File a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuit in Dallas, TX?
The deadline for filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit is two years from the date a victim sustained an injury or lost their life. In some cases, the clock might not start ticking until a victim discovers (or should be able to discover) their injury.
Acting fast is critical. Although the deadline only applies to lawsuits, insurance companies typically also have their own deadlines for filing claims. Even if you have the option of filing a claim after the statute of limitations runs out, an insurance adjuster is unlikely to offer a substantial settlement if they know you don’t have the option of suing.
A Dallas traumatic brain injury attorney from Clay Jenkins & Associates can file your claim or lawsuit on time—but only if you get in touch with us right away.
