    Recent statistics from the Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Advisory Council estimate that about 144,000 individuals sustain Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) every year in Texas, with over 479,000 Texans living with disabilities caused by TBI. Traumatic brain injury caused by a blow, jolt, or bump to the head can disrupt brain function. This can lead to permanent and life-changing complications. TBI also requires specialized treatment and long hospitalization. This often results in substantial medical bills and an uncertain future for the victims and their families. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury caused by a negligent party in Midland, you may be entitled to compensation to cover your medical bills and other damages. An experienced Midland brain injury lawyer at Morrow & Sheppard LLP can help. A lawyer can hold the liable party accountable and fight for the compensation you deserve.

    Traumatic Brain Injuries in the Workplace

    Workers in several industries in Midland, including those in construction, manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, fishing, medical services, and emergency response, face daily hazards that could lead to TBI. Brain injuries often happen in the workplace due to the following causes:

    • Slips, trips, and falls: Workers can slip, trip, and fall when there are unattended spills and clutter in their work areas. A workplace fall can result in severe head injury, depending on how hard it was or where it occurred. A 2019 CDC study reveals unintentional falls caused 49.1% of all traumatic brain injury-related hospitalizations in the US. Falls also accounted for the greatest number of TBI-involved deaths (29.9%) in the same period.
    • Falling objects: Objects precariously placed on high shelves or storage areas can fall on workers below and injure them. Brain injuries caused by falling objects are common in vertical workplaces like construction sites.
    • Falls from heights: In work environments where workers have to climb ladders, scaffolding or stairs, falls from heights are more likely to occur. Brain injuries from these falls mostly occur in the construction industry and retail stores that require workers to use ladders.

    What to Do After Traumatic Brain Injury?

    What you do after a traumatic brain injury can impact your claim and compensation. If you have suffered a workplace TBI, take the following steps:

    • Report the injury: Report your injury immediately to your supervisor, safety person, or employer in writing. Texas state law requires victims to report their work-related injuries within 30 days from the date they were hurt or from the date they knew their injury or illness was related to their job. If you don’t report the injury within this specified time frame, you may be ineligible for worker’s compensation.
    • Document your injuries: Apart from the workers’ compensation claim, you can also file a claim against your employer’s insurance coverage if the TBI was caused by their intentional or negligent action. In such a scenario, you must undertake comprehensive documentation of all the circumstances that led to your accident. Record a verbal or written statement of exactly what led to or contributed to your accident. Other crucial documentation to help prove your claim includes doctor’s medical reports, medical bills, photos of injuries, and more. You should also keep track of the progress you make as you recover from your injuries.
    • Contact an attorney: After a work-related TBI, it is crucial to begin your injury claim before the statute of limitations runs out. In Texas, victims of TBI have two years from the date of injury to bring a personal injury claim. An experienced Midland brain injury lawyer can help file a personal injury claim on your behalf and handle the legalities of the settlement, so you get ample time to recuperate and recover. They will collect evidence to prove liability and help you recover compensation for your damages.
