Dallas brain injury cases
Traumatic brain injury help from a Dallas trial lawyer
Nolan Ryan McConvilleManaging attorney · Licensed in Texas since 2016A traumatic brain injury does not always look serious at the scene. Many people walk away from a crash on Central Expressway or a fall in a parking garage, then notice headaches, memory gaps or mood changes days later.
Insurers know these injuries are hard to see on a scan, and they often argue that symptoms are minor or unrelated. Nolan's job is to connect the injury to the event with clear medical proof and to show what it will cost you over a lifetime.

How brain injuries happen
Common causes of brain injury in Dallas
Car and truck crashes
A hard stop or impact can injure the brain even without a direct blow to the head.
Motorcycle and bicycle crashes
Riders have little protection, and helmet use can come up in how damages are argued.
Pedestrian crashes
People struck by vehicles often hit the pavement or the vehicle with great force.
Slips and falls
Falls on wet floors, broken stairs or poorly lit walkways are a frequent cause of head injury.
Falls on job sites
Falls from ladders, scaffolds and roofs can cause severe brain trauma.
Symptoms
Signs of a brain injury that people miss
Concussions and other mild traumatic brain injuries can cause symptoms that are easy to miss. Some fade, and others last for months or longer.
A normal CT scan does not rule out a brain injury.
Common symptoms
Headaches, dizziness, trouble focusing, memory problems, sensitivity to light or noise, sleep changes, irritability and depression.
A normal CT scan
A normal CT scan in the emergency room does not rule out a brain injury. Scans often look for bleeding or swelling, and many concussions do not show up on them.
Tell your doctors everything
Telling your doctors about every symptom, even ones that seem small, is one of the key things you can do for your health and your claim.
Proof
How a brain injury is documented
A strong brain injury case usually rests on several kinds of evidence working together. Nolan prepares each one as if a Dallas County jury will hear it.
Medical evidence
Ambulance and ER records, CT or MRI imaging, follow-up with a neurologist, and neuropsychological testing that measures memory, attention and processing speed.
People who know you
A spouse, coworker or friend can describe changes test results cannot. Nolan often asks clients to keep a simple symptom journal and talks with family early, while the before-and-after is fresh.
Records without gaps
Serious head injuries in Dallas are often treated first at a trauma center such as Parkland Memorial Hospital, then by neurologists, therapists and counselors for months. Insurers look for doubt in the gaps, so Nolan keeps records together.
Where cases are filed
Usually in the district courts or county courts at law at the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building, 600 Commerce Street. Venue can also lie where a defendant is based, such as Tarrant, Collin or another county.
The way an injury is explained to jurors shapes how it is valued long before trial.
The long view
The long-term costs of a traumatic brain injury
Brain injuries can affect your ability to work, drive, manage money and care for family. A fair claim looks beyond today's medical bills.
Future care
Future treatment, therapy and medication belong in the claim, along with the help you may need at home.
Lost earning capacity
For serious injuries, Nolan may work with a life care planner to map future medical needs and an economist to put a value on lost earnings.
Pain and impairment
Damages can also include physical pain, mental anguish and physical impairment.
What drives value
What a case is worth depends on the facts, the medical proof and the insurance available.
From day one
What Nolan does in the first week

He orders the crash report or incident report.
-
03This week

-
04First week
Medical records
He requests your records from EMS and the ER through your neurologist, so the medical documentation tells one clear story.
If you think you have a brain injury
Steps that protect your health and your claim
- See a doctor, and describe every symptom, including memory and mood changes.
- Follow up with a neurologist if symptoms continue.
- Keep a daily journal of headaches, sleep, focus and missed work.
- Ask a family member to write down changes they notice.
- Avoid recorded statements to the other side's insurer.
- Hold off on signing any release until you know the full extent of the injury.
Two years goes by quickly
Texas personal injury claims generally must be filed within two years. Brain injury cases take time to document, so starting early gives Nolan room to build the medical proof before that deadline.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have a brain injury if I never hit my head?
Yes. The sudden movement of a crash can injure the brain even without a direct blow. That is one reason symptoms after a crash should be checked by a doctor, even if you felt fine at the scene.
My CT scan was normal. Do I still have a case?
Possibly. Many concussions do not appear on a CT scan. Neurological exams, MRI and neuropsychological testing can help document an injury that standard imaging misses.
What is neuropsychological testing?
It is a series of tests, usually given by a neuropsychologist, that measure memory, attention, reasoning and processing speed. The results can show how an injury affects day-to-day thinking and work.
How long does a brain injury case take?
It depends on the injury and the evidence. Many brain injury cases need time for treatment and testing before anyone can fairly value them, and cases that go to trial take longer.
Can I recover for lost future earnings?
Yes, if the evidence shows the injury reduces your ability to earn. That proof often comes from your work history, your doctors and an economist who can estimate the loss over time.
What if the insurer says my symptoms come from something else?
That is a common argument. Medical records from before and after the injury, testing and testimony from people who know you can help show the change the injury caused.
Should I keep working if I'm struggling to focus?
Follow your doctor's advice. If you return to work, keep notes on accommodations, missed time and problems you have. Those records can matter to your claim.
Can a family member call on my behalf?
Yes. Many brain injury clients start with a call from a spouse, parent or adult child. Nolan can talk with the family first and then meet the injured person by phone, video or in person.
