DALLAS-FORT WORTH BRAIN INJURY LAWYERS

Brain injuries are usually caused by a traumatic blow to the head, often in motor vehicle accidents, unsafe premises liability accidents, nursing home abuse injuries or work place injuries. Many times these injuries are permanent and debilitating. Sometimes the impact and effects of these injuries are subtle and require research and testing to prove. Victims are left with cognitive dysfunction and limitations which cause severe emotional anguish, long term rehabilitation and pain. It is imperative to obtain the proper medical treatment as soon as possible after the injury. Despite the best of care, many victims of head injuries are unable to fully recover from their injuries.

Brain and head trauma costs approach $50,000,000 annually in the United States. These expenses can be devastating to most families. Many times there is an associated loss of income as the injured person is unable to work. Brain injury victims often spend weeks or even months in hospitals. Depending on the circumstances of your injury, you may be entitled to recover all of your costs of medical care and lost wages, as well as your personal damages for your pain and suffering.

The Glenn Law Firm will help you get all the compensation you deserve for your injuries. Contact us as soon as possible for a free consultation. If necessary, we can visit you at your home or in the hospital or rehabilitation facility.

What should I do if I am injured in an accident?

If you have been in a car wreck, you should obtain appropriate medical care as soon as possible. If you are able, at the scene of the accident you should obtain insurance (company and policy number) and personal (driver’s license number, address, phone and date of birth) information from all persons involved in the collision. You should also obtain the names, addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses. If you can, take pictures of the accident scene before any of the vehicles are moved. Our Texas car wreck team can assist you with any questions you have about your situation. We handle car wreck cases all over Texas and the United States.

Who is responsible for my medical bills?

In general, the person “at fault” in the wreck will ultimately be responsible for the medical bills and any other damages. However, your health care provider will look to you to pay for his services. If you have health insurance, you should use that insurance to obtain any medical treatment necessary. After all, that is why you pay for your health insurance-so that you will have it when you need it. Do not delay in getting treatment because you think the other driver’s insurance company wil pay for you to go to the doctor. Ths is one of the ways they will take advantage of you. In fact, they will argue that your failure to obtain medical care is proof that you were not injured. So, be sure and get the care you need right away. Call the Glenn Law Firm with any questions you may have about getting yourself the medical care you need.

Do I really need to hire a car wreck lawyer?

The insurance company has adjustors who spend all day every day working to settle cases for the smallest possible amount. These are full time professionals whose only agenda is to save the insurance company money. In fact, their compensation is based on their ability to do just that. Hiring an experienced trial lawyer is the only way to keep those big insurance companies from taking advantage of you. The fact of the matter is these insurance companies are bullies. They will try every thing they know to force you to settle your case for far less than you are entitled to recover. At the Glenn Law Firm, we have spent more than 25 years learning how to fight them at their own game. We fight bullies! is a not just a slogan, it is a mission. This is what we do, all day every day.

How is a car wreck trial lawyer paid?

The Glenn Law Firm, like any other personal injury firm, is paid on a contingent fee basis. That means you don’t pay unless you recover by settlement or jury verdict. A contingent fee is a predetermined and agreed percentage of your settlement or jury verdict. If you don’t recover, you are not responsible to pay for our services.

What am I entitled to recover or how much is my case worth?

The value of your case depends on multiple factors. These are all based on the physical injuries and the monetary damages you have incurred, and how these injuries will impact your life. These include:

* the severity of your physical injuries

* the extent and cost of your medical treatment

* the amount of your lost wages and the impact on your ability to work in the future

* any disability associated with your injury, including future limitations

* your emotional and physical pain and suffering, including that to come in the future

In wrongful death cases, you may be able to recover all of the lost income that your family member would have earned throughout life as well as the losses associated with losing the care, comfort and society with that person. The Glenn Law Firm can help you understand exactly what you are entitled to claim based on all of the facts related to your loss.

How long will it take to recover?

While there is no way to know exactly how long your case will take to resolve, the Glenn Law Firm

can provide you with an accurate estimate of what you can expect. Frequently the insurance companies act like bullies and make low ball offers that make it necessary to file suit to get a fair recovery. These tactics are designed to delay and minimize your recovery. At the Glenn Law Firm, we know how to combat these tactics and prepare your case to get you the highest amount you are entitled to recover. We fight Bullies! is our motto and our mission. We are dedicated to getting you the recovery you deserve.

What to expect during your personal injury case?

We will make sure you fully understand the legal process and how to combat the insurance companies bully tactics. Our team has extensive trial experience and knows how to prepare your case for maximum impact in court.

Is it likely my case will go to court?

Whether your case goes to trial or not depends on the insurance company’s willingness to fully and adequately compensate you for your injuries. At the Glenn Law Firm, we believe that the way to beat a bully is to fight him. So, We fight bullies! We do it by preparing your case for trial-from the first day we meet until the end of your case. And we believe that the most likely way to obtain full and just compensation is from an American jury. We believe the American jury system is the greatest vehicle for providing justice that has ever been devised. And we are working every day to protect your rights to trial by jury.
