Mr. Abrar and his team were more than helpful, vital and supportive of not only my case but my future as well. He was responsive, knowledgeable and quick to act/deliver. 5 stars to him and his team!

Understanding Brain Injuries in El Paso

Brain injuries can occur for a wide range of reasons in El Paso. At Abrar and Vergara, we work with victims of brain injuries every day and primarily handle those resulting from accidents or medical malpractice. These instances are completely out of your control, and open the door to a long road of recovery that can drain you physically, emotionally, and financially. 

There are a few distinct kinds of brain injuries that we commonly see. We’ve listed each one in detail below. 

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) - A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs when an external force impacts the head, leading to brain dysfunction. This can result in long-term cognitive impairments and physical pain. TBIs are a significant cause of disability, especially among young adults and older individuals.
  • Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI) - Acquired Brain Injuries (ABIs) are brain injuries that occur after birth and are not related to congenital or degenerative conditions. ABIs can result from either traumatic causes (such as a TBI) or non-traumatic causes (such as strokes or infections). The term ABI is broader than TBI as it includes injuries caused by internal factors as well. We see these sometimes as a result from infections or strokes occurring during medical procedures due to negligence. 
  • Concussions - A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that occurs when a sudden movement or impact causes the brain to move rapidly within the skull. This movement can cause the brain to twist or bounce against the skull, leading to chemical changes and sometimes damaging brain cells. Concussions are often referred to as "mild" because they are typically not life-threatening, but they can still have serious effects and cause lasting symptoms like tinnitus (ringing in the ears). 

At Abrar and Vergara, we know how serious brain injuries can be for our clients. They cause long-term distress that changes your entire life, and you deserve fair compensation to cushion the blow as much as possible. Our team fights tirelessly to ensure you get that. We’re with you every step of the way, no matter what challenges present themselves.

Legal Implications of Brain Injuries in El Paso

A big part of seeking fair compensation from brain injuries in El Paso lies in determining liability. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning that if any part of the injury was due to your own actions, your case may be compromised. That’s why it’s crucial to work with an experienced personal injury attorney who understands the legal complexities around brain injuries and how to build strategies against any counters. 

Here are some other legal aspects surrounding brain injuries in Texas: 

  • Statute of Limitations - In Texas, the standard statute of limitations is two years from the date the injury occurred. If you don’t file a lawsuit within this time frame, you generally lose the right to pursue legal action for damages resulting in brain injury. (Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003)
  • Medical Malpractice - This set of laws govern medical malpractice claims in Texas, which can include cases where a brain injury occurred due to medical negligence (e.g., surgical errors, misdiagnosis). It provides requirements for filing a claim, including expert reports and specific procedural rules. It also imposes caps on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases. (Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 74.001 et seq.)

At Abrar and Vergara, our attorneys can handle all these complicated legal aspects so you can focus on recovery. We have years of experience and vast knowledge into the world of personal injury claims. Our team will build a strong case, finding sound arguments from even the smallest details around your brain injury. We’re here for you, every step of the way.
