Traumatic Brain Injury After a Truck Accident in Texas? Wyatt Law Firm Will Fight for You.
San Antonio’s Fiercest Legal Team for Truck Crash TBI Victims
A truck accident isn’t like an ordinary car crash — especially when it comes to the risk of traumatic brain injuries. When a fully loaded 18-wheeler collides with a smaller vehicle, the force can be devastating. Survivors often face life-altering head trauma, leaving them with permanent cognitive, physical, and emotional challenges.
In San Antonio, Bexar County, and across Texas, Wyatt Law Firm fights for TBI victims and their families. With over $1 billion recovered for clients injured in catastrophic crashes, we know how to build strong cases for maximum compensation — and we don’t stop until justice is done. Our case results include settlements and verdicts of $19.5 million, $10.25 million, and $4 million for truck accident victims and their families. If you or a family member suffered a spinal cord injury or paralysis after a Texas truck accident, contact us for a free consultation now to learn more about your rights and to get answers to your crash questions.
Truck Crashes That Most Often Lead to TBIs
Not all crashes are equal. Certain types of truck accidents create conditions that make brain injuries far more likely. The most dangerous include:
- High-Speed Rear-End Collisions: The truck’s force crushes the rear of a smaller vehicle, violently throwing occupants forward.
- Underride Crashes: A passenger car slides beneath the trailer, often leading to direct head impact or roof collapse.
- Side-Impact (T-Bone) Crashes: The truck slams into the side of a vehicle, crushing the cabin where occupants’ heads are close to impact points.
- Rollover and Jackknife Accidents: Trucks rolling onto smaller vehicles cause crushing injuries and head trauma.
- Multi-Vehicle Pileups: Chain-reaction crashes on highways expose victims to multiple high-speed impacts, each increasing the likelihood of a TBI.
These crashes aren’t just destructive — they’re the kind of violent events that change lives in an instant. An experienced lawyer can investigate the crash, prove liability, and fight for full compensation.
How Truck Accidents Cause TBIs
A traumatic brain injury occurs when the brain experiences a sudden jolt, impact, or penetration. In truck accidents, the forces involved are extreme. Occupants of smaller vehicles may strike their heads against steering wheels, dashboards, side windows, or even the roof — or suffer whiplash so severe that the brain hits the skull’s interior.
Because truck crashes involve heavier vehicles, higher speeds, and more intense forces, the brain injuries they cause tend to be more severe and complex than those from typical car accidents. The consequences may include permanent cognitive impairment, motor dysfunction, personality changes, and long-term disability.
Common TBIs in truck crashes include:
- Concussion: Caused by sudden movement or blow, leading to temporary brain dysfunction.
- Contusion: Bruising or bleeding of brain tissue from direct impact.
- Diffuse Axonal Injury: Tearing of nerve fibers from rotational or shearing forces; often results in coma or severe disability.
- Penetrating Injury: Skull penetration by debris or vehicle parts, causing localized brain damage.
- Coup-Contrecoup Injury: Brain damage at the site of impact and on the opposite side from the rebound force.
Each of these injuries can have lasting consequences, including memory loss, mood changes, motor control issues, and more. A lawyer can ensure the legal claim accounts for the full extent of these injuries and their impact on the victim’s life.
The Compensation TBI Victims Deserve
TBIs are among the most expensive and life-altering injuries a person can suffer. Victims often face years of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and support — and many are unable to return to their previous careers or lifestyles. Compensation for truck accident TBI victims may include:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Ongoing therapy, rehabilitation, and in-home care
- Surgeries and long-term treatment plans
- Lost income and reduced future earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life and companionship
- Home modifications and assistive technology
In fatal TBI cases, families may also pursue wrongful death claims to recover funeral expenses, lost support, and more. A lawyer who understands the full impact of TBIs can fight for the compensation needed to rebuild life as much as possible.
