Common factors that will influence the size of your brain injury settlement are:
- The severity of injuries: All brain injuries are serious, but the severity of the injury will affect your settlement value. A head injury that affects your personality, ability to move, think, or reason will have a higher value than a less severe injury.
- Medical bills: A serious brain injury can incur millions in long-term medical bills. Your TBI attorney at Richards Penn Bonner will work with your medical team to ensure you receive enough compensation to cover future medical expenses.
- Lost earnings: A severe TBI usually leads to loss of earning capacity, leading to a higher settlement than if you can return to work.
- Pain and suffering: Most brain injury victims have pain and suffering from the accident, recovery, and rehabilitation. Your attorney will document your pain and suffering with your doctors’ help.
- Permanent disability: A catastrophic injury, such as a TBI, often leads to permanent disability, which will increase the settlement value.
- Age and occupation: A younger person with a higher income may have a higher case value than a retired older person.

Our Practice Areas
Our Jacksonville, TX, traumatic brain injury attorneys represent many severely injured people and their families every year. We work in the following practice areas involving accidents that sometimes cause traumatic brain injuries.
Auto Accidents
Auto accidents are the most common cause of Jacksonville, TX, TBI claims. Drivers may fall asleep, drink, tailgate, or speed, leading to a devastating car accident. Our TBI attorneys will review the accident carefully and determine if another party violated their duty of care.
Tractor-Trailer Accidents
Commercial trucks may weigh up to 80,000 pounds, and the terrifying force of impact on a smaller vehicle can lead to serious or fatal injuries. Our TBI lawyers know how to hold aggressive trucking insurance companies liable for their client’s negligence.
Fighting The Insurance Company
Every traumatic brain injury and personal injury case is different. Whether another person hurt you in a car accident, slip and fall, or medical error, you can expect the insurance company to try to underpay you. Insurance companies earn money for shareholders by taking in more money than they pay in claims. They do so by paying less than injured parties deserve in many cases.
