Understanding Types of Head Injuries

A head injury isn’t always obvious at first. Symptoms may be delayed, subtle, or mistaken for something less serious. But when trauma affects the brain, the results can be devastating.

Common types of head injuries include:

  • Concussions
  • Contusions (bruising of the brain tissue)
  • Skull fractures
  • Hematomas (bleeding in or around the brain)
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), including mild, moderate, and severe cases

Even so-called "mild" TBIs can have lasting effects. More severe injuries can result in coma, seizures, permanent cognitive impairment, or death.

Symptoms of a Serious Head Injury

The symptoms of a head injury can vary depending on the severity and the area of the brain affected. Some show up immediately, while others may appear hours or even days later.

If you or a loved one experienced any head trauma, be alert for the following signs:

  • Loss of consciousness (even briefly)
  • Headaches that worsen or won’t go away
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Confusion or disorientation
  • Slurred speech
  • Blurred vision or sensitivity to light
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Fatigue or drowsiness
  • Memory problems or difficulty concentrating
  • Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
  • Seizures
  • Clear fluid draining from the nose or ears

If you notice any of these symptoms after a blow to the head, seek medical attention immediately. Early diagnosis and documentation are critical - not just for your health, but also for building a strong legal claim.

What Causes Serious Head Injuries for Waco Residents?

Head injuries in Waco happen in many different settings. We help clients who have suffered head trauma in:

Car and Truck Accidents

When vehicles collide at high speeds, the force can cause your brain to slam against your skull - even if there’s no visible head wound. Whiplash, airbag deployment, and flying debris can all cause serious head trauma.

Motorcycle Crashes

Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to head injuries, even when wearing a helmet. A crash often leads to impact with the ground or other vehicles, putting riders at risk of concussions and brain trauma.

Falls and Premises Liability

Slip and falls, unsafe staircases, or dangerous property conditions can cause a person to strike their head on hard surfaces. Property owners may be liable if negligence caused the hazard.

Workplace Accidents

Head injuries are common in construction, oilfield, and warehouse environments. Falling tools, structural collapses, and heavy machinery accidents can all result in serious or fatal trauma.

Victims of Violent Crime

Assaults, domestic violence, and other criminal attacks can result in devastating head trauma. If you were injured by another person's intentional act, you may have the right to pursue a civil claim for damages - even if there is also a criminal case.

Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer After a Head Injury

Head injuries are complex, and the symptoms can evolve over time. That means insurance companies often downplay the seriousness of your condition or pressure you to accept a quick settlement before you fully understand the long-term effects.

At Biggs & Greenslade, we take these cases seriously. Our head injury attorneys:

  • Document the full extent of your injury
  • Estimate the cost of future care
  • Prove the impact on your ability to work and function
  • Build a case that reflects the total financial and emotional toll of your injury

We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This puts us in a strong position to negotiate or litigate as needed.

Compensation in a Head Injury Claim

If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to significant compensation, including:

  • Medical bills (ER visits, CT scans, neurological care, rehab)
  • Future medical expenses (therapy, assistive care, home modifications)
  • Lost income and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Disability or cognitive impairment

Texas Statute of Limitations for Head Injury Claims

In Texas, you typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. But in some cases, you may have more time - especially if symptoms were not immediately apparent. This is known as the "discovery rule."

Biggs & Greenslade can help you understand your timeline and move quickly to preserve your case.
