Houston Traumatic Brain Injury Claims Lawyer

The Brain Injury Association of America reports that more than 1.4 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury ("TBI") in the United States every year. Tragically, 50,000 people die and another 235,000 are hospitalized.

TBI is best defined as a brain injury resulting from a closed head injury or open surgical procedure which results in a disruption of brain functions. The brain damage may range from a brief change in cognitive abilities to an extended period of amnesia after a medical procedure or a high fever. A traumatic brain injury can result in short- or long-term neurological and psychological problems that affect a persons ability to function at a normal level.

The law firm of Hartley Hampton, P.C., has experience helping people recover compensation after suffering from traumatic brain injuries. Attorney Hartley Hampton is a trial lawyer with 30 years of experience who has handled a wide variety of brain injury claims resulting from an enormous range of accidents, criminal assaults, and incidents of medical malpractice.

We help people seek compensation for these tragic, life-altering injuries. Brain trauma can result from:

• Improper medical treatment of another condition
• Failure to diagnose a medical condition, such as a heart attack, in time to prevent damaging asphyxia
• Prescribing the wrong medication, which affected brain oxygenation or activity
• Surgical errors resulting in direct or indirect trauma to the brain
• Anesthesiology errors, such as over-sedation
• Hypoxic and Anoxic Brain Injuries, involving birth injuries where a lack of oxygen or blood flow to the brain results in serious injury or death to an infant
