A traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-concussion syndrome can change your life in an instant. We’ve seen how these injuries affect not just the person hurt but their entire family: physically, emotionally, and financially. At Law Done Right® – Schreiber | Knockaert, PLLC, Joe Schreiber and Erik Knockaert personally investigate each case, working directly with you to understand what happened and build a strategy that helps you recover and rebuild your future.
What Are Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) & Post-Concussion Syndrome?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden impact, blow, or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. These injuries can range from mild concussions to severe, life-altering trauma. Post-concussion syndrome refers to ongoing symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, memory loss, and mood changes, that persist long after the initial injury. At Law Done Right®, we understand how invisible these struggles can feel. Joe and Erik work closely with you to document the full scope of your injury and pursue fair, meaningful compensation.
Common Reasons for TBI and Post-Concussion Syndrome:
- Motor vehicle and commercial truck accidents that cause sudden head impact
- Falls from heights or slips and trips that lead to blunt head trauma
- Industrial and workplace accidents involving heavy machinery or unsafe conditions
- Sports injuries or recreational impacts that cause repeated concussions
- Explosions or blast injuries in industrial or military settings
- Assaults or acts of violence resulting in head trauma
- Defective products or unsafe premises contributing to sudden head injuries

Traumatic Brain Injury FAQs
How Do I Know if I Have a Traumatic Brain Injury or Post-Concussion Syndrome?
Many brain injuries are invisible at first. You may feel dizzy, disoriented, or have headaches, trouble concentrating, or mood changes. These symptoms can appear hours or even days after the accident. We always recommend seeking immediate medical evaluation, even if you “feel fine.” Joe and Erik understand how subtle and long-lasting these injuries can be and can help ensure your condition is properly documented for both medical and legal purposes.
What Should I Do if Symptoms Persist After a Concussion?
If your symptoms last for weeks or months after the initial injury, you may be experiencing post-concussion syndrome. This can severely affect your focus, sleep, and emotional health. Keep a detailed record of your symptoms and follow up with specialists who can assess neurological or cognitive changes. We help you connect these medical findings to your legal claim so that your full injury is recognized and compensated.
Can I Recover Damages Even if I Had a Mild Concussion?
Yes. A “mild” concussion can still have serious, long-term consequences, especially if your symptoms linger. Insurance companies often minimize these cases, but we don’t. We know from experience that even mild TBIs can impact your work, relationships, and sense of self. Joe and Erik fight to ensure the compensation reflects the real, lasting effects you’re facing.
How Long Do I Have to File a TBI Claim in Texas?
In most Texas personal injury cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident, but exceptions can apply. It’s always best to contact us as soon as possible so we can begin preserving evidence, consulting experts, and protecting your rights.
