Brain Injury Attorney in Plano

Trial-Ready TBI Representation for Plano & Collin County

Traumatic brain injuries are among the most contested personal injury claims in Texas. Symptoms are often invisible on standard imaging, insurers routinely challenge their severity, and the defense begins building its case before you’ve hired a lawyer. At Zen Law Firm, our attorneys are former prosecutors. We know how the other side constructs those arguments because we’ve built them. That perspective changes how we prepare your case from day one.

We represent brain injury victims in Plano and throughout Collin and Denton Counties. With over 100 trials handled and a primary office here in Plano, we prepare every TBI claim as if it will be decided in a Collin County courtroom. Consultations are available for injured individuals and their families, including Spanish-speaking clients.

If you or a family member suffered a brain injury caused by someone else’s negligence, contact our Plano office today at (469) 361-8561 to discuss your options.

TBI Cases We Handle in Plano

A traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force damages brain tissue. Consequences range from short-term concussion effects to permanent cognitive, physical, and emotional impairments. Symptoms including headaches, memory problems, mood changes, and difficulty concentrating can emerge hours, days, or even weeks after an accident, which is one reason insurers dispute them so aggressively.

We handle brain injury claims arising from a wide range of accidents where another party’s negligence caused harm:

• Motor vehicle collisions including car accidents, truck crashes, and motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• Construction and workplace accidents
• Premises liability incidents such as slip and fall injuries on unsafe property
• Wrongful death cases when fatal brain trauma results from another party’s negligence

To bring a successful TBI claim, a plaintiff must establish four elements: duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages. When a brain injury proves fatal, qualifying family members may pursue a wrongful death action rather than a personal injury claim.

Why Our Prosecutorial Background Matters in TBI Claims

Defense teams and insurers follow predictable playbooks in brain injury cases. They argue that negative imaging means no real injury, attribute symptoms to preexisting conditions, and look for anything that suggests normal functioning. Our attorneys have operated on that side of the equation. We know the strategy before it’s deployed, and we build the evidence to counter it before the other side raises it.

Every case gets a custom strategy. No two TBI claims are identical, and we don’t treat them as if they are. Our results in serious injury cases include a seven-figure recovery for a client injured in a bicycle accident involving a drunk driver and multiple six-figure outcomes in premises liability matters. Past results don’t guarantee future outcomes, but they reflect how we approach high-stakes claims.

Our attorneys have earned recognition from Super Lawyers and hold a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating. Throughout every case, we keep clients informed and treat them as partners in the process, not case numbers.

Damages & the Texas Filing Deadline for TBI Claims

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 16.003, brain injury victims have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death claims, qualifying family members generally have two years from the date of death. Missing that window can mean losing the right to pursue recovery.

Recoverable damages in a TBI claim fall into two categories:

• Economic damages: past and future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and vocational retraining costs
• Noneconomic damages: pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life

Texas applies modified comparative fault under Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 33.001. A plaintiff found more than 50 percent at fault may be barred from recovery. The value of any TBI claim depends on injury severity, the strength of medical documentation, and the impact on the injured person’s daily functioning. The sooner evidence is preserved, the stronger the documented claim can be.
