$6 Million Recovered for a Client Left with a Permanent Brain Injury

When an 18-wheeler ran a red light in Bastrop, Texas, it caused a T-bone truck accident with our client’s vehicle, ejecting him from the car. He suffered a fractured skull and a traumatic brain injury severe enough to leave him permanently impaired. Our team of attorneys from Briggle & Polan, PLLC recovered $6 million on his behalf.

A traumatic brain injury can affect memory, coordination, speech, and the ability to work or live independently, often for the rest of a person’s life. Proving the full weight of such a catastrophic injury takes more than a look at medical records. We worked to show how that single moment changed every part of our client’s daily life, from basic independence to the work they can no longer do.

Liability in this case traced back to a commercial driver running a red light, which proved to be a split-second mistake with consequences lasting decades for the person on the other end of it. We built the case to reflect both the severity of the injury and the entirely preventable nature of the crash that caused it.

$6 Million Recovery for a Client in Need

A permanent brain injury causes costs that compound for years, including ongoing medical care, therapy, lost income, and adjustments to a life that looks nothing like it did before the crash. A $6 million recovery cannot undo a traumatic brain injury, but it can help fund the care and support our client needs to live with one for the rest of his life.

Commercial trucking companies carry large insurance policies and the legal teams to match, built to protect their bottom line rather than the people their drivers hurt. We created our firm to stand on the other side of that fight for people across Texas who need an attorney to stand up for them in tough times.
