Many traumatic brain injuries from traffic collisions or industrial-area incidents start with symptoms that seem minor—dizziness, headaches, confusion, sleep disruption, trouble concentrating. Then, over days or weeks, symptoms can linger or evolve.
In practice, insurers in Texas tend to focus on two things:
- Whether the injury is medically connected to the incident (causation)
- Whether the injury affected your real life and ability to work (damages)
That means your strongest “calculator inputs” are usually the least glamorous: ER notes, follow-up treatment records, medication history, therapy recommendations, and workplace documentation of functional limits.
