Head and Brain Injury Claims in Workplace Accidents
If you suffered a serious head injury on the job, you will almost certainly require legal advice to collect the damages you deserve and need to support yourself and your family. This is especially true in cases of closed-head injury or mild brain trauma, as the symptoms are often subtle and easy to overlook. Contact an experienced attorney at the law firm of Allison & Ward to learn about your rights and options.

Whether you suffered your work-related brain injury in a fall at a construction site, a motor vehicle accident, or blunt-force trauma in a warehouse, our law firm can investigate the facts of your accident while concentrating on getting you the medical treatment you need.
There's no point in being a hero in a brain injury case. If you suffered a concussion on the job and feel up to working after a few days off, you're doing yourself no favors by skipping a thorough medical examination. You're not only exposing yourself to the risk of future symptoms such as dizziness or partial memory loss; you're also throwing away the chance to document your injuries properly from the earliest stages of the case.
Our lawyers advise and represent injured employees in Texas workers' compensation cases and personal injury lawsuits — whenever we can, we'll handle both cases for you so that you collect the appropriate amount of compensation. We present benefits and damages claims for accidents such as:
- Brain concussion and post-concussion disorder
- All grades of traumatic brain injury: mild, moderate and severe
- Short and long-term coma cases
- Facial injuries involving trauma to the eyes, nose, jaw, teeth, scarring or disfigurement
Especially in the less severe range of brain injury cases, the symptoms can be subjective and open to legitimate debate. It's sometimes difficult to prove complaints of personality change or sensitivity to light or noise, but our familiarity with the challenges of brain injury litigation can help ensure that your claims are properly documented and include all components of your past and future losses.
For more information about our ability to help you with a head or brain injury claim in the workers' compensation system, in civil litigation or both, contact Allison & Ward in Austin for a free consultation.
