What to Expect with TBI Recovery

Nothing is going to change your life more than suffering from a major traumatic brain injury (TBI).  Just like any injury, these things have a spectrum from minor to major, and recovery is largely dependent on what parts of the brain were actually injured.

The Car Crash Captain looks at what to expect if you have suffered from a TBI, and how long that recovery is going to take.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

TBI injuries are just about any injury to the head.  Most of the time, if you are hit in the head, your brain will suffer from some sort of damage.  Just like if you injure another part of your body, the injuries may be minor (bruising or scratches), moderate (lacerations or burns), or severe (fractures or amputations).  Recovery times and expectations depend largely on what happened in your motorcycle wreck, and how bad the injuries are.

Recovering from a Mild TBI

Mild brain injuries often show up in the form of a concussion.  Symptoms include headache, nausea, insomnia and more (read all about motorcycle wreck concussions).  These symptoms can persist for days or even weeks.

Recovering from a mild TBI like a concussion usually is just a matter of time.  Slowing things down, avoiding stressful situations, and getting plenty of rest will allow the body to do what the body does: repair itself.  Being monitored by a doctor is essential, because sometimes symptoms can point to a concussion, but worsen into a more moderate form of traumatic brain injury.

Recovering from a Moderate TBI

Moderate TBI’s are a bit worse than the concussion; even if they seemingly are caused the same way.  Suffering a blow to the head causes the brain to move around inside the skull.  When the brain bumps against the bone (lighter impacts aren’t as serious as it’s cushioned by cerebrospinal fluid), it becomes bruised and damaged.  A moderate TBI is usually characterized by a period of unconsciousness of at least 30 minutes (but less than 24 hours).

Recovering takes a lot more time than recovering from a concussion.  Confusion and headaches may persist for weeks.  These are compounded by tiredness, dizziness, irritability, light sensitivity, and more.  The more severe damage to the brain may require ongoing medical care and assistance in activities of daily living.  Recovery is usually measured in months and years rather than days and weeks.

Recovering from a Severe TBI

Severe brain injuries are generally those that result in an unconscious period lasting more than 24 hours.  Those suffering often will enter into a coma for an extended period of time as they’re unable to respond to external stimuli.  Convulsions, seizures, severe nausea, and loss of motor control are common.

Most people who suffer from severe TBI’s don’t recover.  Some might live for many years, but never without extensive care, special accommodations, and a severely diminished quality of life.  The body will work hard to heal itself, but often the damage is too extensive, and it will shut down over time.

Why You Need a Texas Motorcycle Lawyer to Help

Insurance companies will try to diminish the severity of what actually happened, so they don’t have to pay out nearly as large of a claim.

It’s important to work with a personal injury lawyer, especially one with experience in Texas motorcycle wrecks, so you know your case is being handled expertly.  Since a moderate TBI can be very similar in symptoms to a mild one, being monitored by a doctor to fully understand what happened is imperative.

Don’t complicate matters by trying to deal with insurance companies on your own – let Herbert Law Group do that.  You focus on healing from your injuries.

A Board-Certified Personal Injury Trial Lawyer

The State Bar of Texas offers more to Texas lawyers than just ensuring they’re allowed to practice law in the state.  To encourage everyone to continue on a path toward excellence, specialization certifications are offered for those who meet the requirements.

It’s an elite distinction that the Car Crash Captain has earned.  But the road to being among just 2% of all Texas personal injury lawyers wasn’t one that came easily, there’s quite the process behind it.

The Rigorous Professional Path to Certification

There are some professions that give you a stamp of approval if you fill out a form and pay your annual fee.

This is not one of them.

Becoming a board-certified personal injury trial lawyer in Texas isn’t an easy process.  And that’s probably why only 2% of lawyer earn this designation.  Even just to apply, the qualifications include:

• Practicing law for at least five years.
• At least three years of personal injury trial law experience.
• Tried at least 10 personal injury trial law cases.
• Completed 60 hours of Texas Board of Legal Specialization approved continuing ed.
• Have qualified references from judges and lawyers in the area.

Now, if that was all required, it would be a bit strenuous, but rather attainable for many more lawyers out there.  But, as we mentioned, those are the requirements to apply.  There’s more to it.

Once that application is accepted, then the lawyer pursuing this designation has to take a test.  For a Dallas-based personal injury lawyer, like Zach Herbert, that meant booking some time in Austin and completing a grueling six-hour exam.

The first half of that test is a series of multiple-choice questions.  The second half of that test is answering essay questions.  Even meeting the qualifications, if you don’t pass you can try again – to an extent.  Failing the exam three times means a three year wait before reapplying.  Learn more about what it takes to earn this certification on the TBLS website.

The Rigorous Personal Path to Certification

Early in his career, Zach saw one of his senior associates earn the accolades that came with this designation.  It was highly celebrated throughout the firm, and Zach was determined that he too would pursue this coveted designation.  The requirements to apply were largely completed throughout his journey as a lawyer.  Some of his first positions were working for a firm that was heavily involved in trials – that wasn’t as big of an issue as preparing for the test.

Then came the time to study.  He was determined to fill evenings and weekends leading up to the test with immersing himself in the study.  And, as with all things, that didn’t go quite as easily as he hoped.

Running a busy law firm, four kids at home, and ensuring that his relationship with his wife didn’t suffer meant that studying was often put on the back burner.  Dedication to family first meant that even studying for this important test had to be relegated to a different time.

As the day of the testing approached, he found that time, and even headed down to Austin a few days in advance, shut off his phone for most of the day, and poured himself into studying for three solid days.

The big day came.  The test was taken.  And while he felt good about it, the official stance was – wait a couple months until we tell you whether or not you passed.

“I did a good job of compartmentalizing.” He explains, “I knew results weren’t going to be released until January, so no sense wondering before that time came.”  Still, the waiting was the worst part.  And once January it was a constant wonder if the results were coming in on that day.

One evening, sitting on the couch with his wife, an email came through on his phone.

He passed.

With much joy and relief, the family celebrated.

What this Means for Herbert Law Group Clients

This isn’t just a personal victory for Zach.  It’s a mark of trust and expertise.  The legal market is competitive, and in the Dallas area there are a lot of personal injury lawyers.  This board certification helps to set him apart.  It shows that clients of Herbert Law Group are receiving service from some of the top lawyers in the industry, and they can take comfort in the fact that Zach, and the rest of the team, know what they’re doing.

Herbert Law Group Continues to Serve the Dallas Area

It was a long and often difficult journey.  But in the end, it was worth the late-night studying, the sacrificed weekends, and the anxious moments counting down the days until the official word came through.

All the while, Herbert Law Group continued to help those who have been injured due to someone else’s negligence.

If you fall into that category, or if a loved one has passed away in a wreck because someone else was at fault, we should talk about it.  Call our offices at 214-414-3808, or fill out the contact form, and rest assured that one of the top attorneys in the state will be contacting you shortly.

TL;DR Version of What Not to Say – Stay Silent

As the subheading suggests, the best thing to say to an insurance adjuster after you’ve been involved in a major truck wreck here in Texas is nothing at all.  Of course, you can say something, you can say, “I’m working with the Car Crash Captain over there at Herbert Law Group, please direct any inquiries to them!”  The caller will likely persist, but that’s all you need to tell them; we’ll take it from there.

Naturally, though, you won’t be thinking clearly as a million things will be buzzing through your head after a wreck.  Especially if you’ve suffered major injuries and you’ve been given pain medication.

So, let’s review now and if something bad does happen, you’ll be able to recall this blog and remember to have them talk to the Car Crash Captain instead of you.

Don’t Admit Fault – Or Even Come Close

We know that you shouldn’t admit fault.  That would take away all your negotiating power and you’d likely ruin any chance at a settlement.  But what comes close to admitting fault?

• “I’m sorry.” – these words can be used against you.  You might as well say, “It was all my fault, I take full responsibility.”
• “I didn’t mean to.” – Even if you didn’t mean to become the victim, don’t imply that you did something to cause the wreck.
• “He might have been in my blind spot.” – Even if he was in your blind spot, if your vehicle was hit, you don’t need to justify where he was.
• “I couldn’t see him.” – See above.
• “I was driving too fast.” – All they need to know is that you were the victim.
• “I don’t like money so I don’t need a settlement.” – If you wouldn’t say this, then don’t admit any sort of fault.

Don’t Allow Them Access to Medical Records

When the wreck is being investigated, the insurance adjusters and their teams of lawyers will want to scrutinize everything.  However, without your permission (or a court order), they can’t dip into your medical records.  That doesn’t mean they won’t try.

You might think, “What’s wrong with letting them see how much pain I’ve been put through?”

The problem is that they don’t want to just see the medical records from this wreck.  They want to see everything from even before the wreck.  That way, everything you were treated for in the past is a potential pre-existing condition.  Something not caused by the wreck, and therefore not their responsibility to pay on.

Don’t Tell Them About Your Injuries

Just as you don’t want them nosing around in your past medical conditions, they don’t need extra information about the current ones either.  Because likely if you talk to them about your injuries, they’ll try to steer the conversation so you say something like:

• “It’s not too bad.”
• “I should heal quickly.”
• “I’ve suffered worse.”
• “I’m tough, I’ll recover.”
• “I want you to know these injuries aren’t nearly as bad as they seem, so really there’s no reason for us to pursue a settlement at this time since I’ll make a full recovery simply by willing it to be so.”

That last one.  You might not say it in as many words, but they can twist your words into something that means that exact thing.

Don’t Provide a Recorded Statement

No matter how closely you guard your words, you may end up saying something that can be taken out of context.  If you agree to a recorded statement, then you agree to have bits of your recording played back, without the supporting words around them.

Any time the insurance company wants to have your recorded statement, they have to tell you the conversation will be recorded (they may say “for quality control purposes” but what they mean is “to support our case against you so we don’t have to pay as large of a settlement.”).  As soon as you hear them mention they’re recording anything, you just have to say, “Please direct all inquiries to Herbert Law Group.”

Don’t Discuss Circumstances of the Truck Wreck

You are under no obligation to share what happened with the insurance company.

They can get the official report from the police, or talk to your truck wreck attorney about it.

Don’t Open Up to Your Goals and Hobbies

It might seem like a good idea to talk about goals and hobbies to show how the wreck has thrown off your plans for life.

You were once an avid rock climber, but now you can’t climb anymore.  The truck wreck has ruined your hobbies forever.  You might be thinking you could get a larger settlement because of this.

What the insurance company is thinking is, “How can we show those injuries were really caused by a rock climbing accident that happened before the wreck?”  This is also why you should skip posting on social media until your wreck has fully settled, and lock down your account so nobody can get on there and any activity.

Distracted Driving is Deadly – Don’t Risk It

In 2022 distracted driving claimed the lives of 3,308 people.  That’s about 7.7% of traffic fatalities and comes to about 9 people who die, needlessly, every single day.

Many of those who perished were teenagers, still learning how to drive, still navigating life, and still discovering who they were.  Today, the Car Crash Captain is looking at some of the ways you can encourage your young driver to stay focused on the road, and not focused on the distractions.

What is Distracted Driving?

Most often we associate distracted driving as messing around on a phone, sending messages, while trying to drive.  That’s one of the biggest distractions, but this actually encompasses anything that takes your eyes off the road.  From phones, to the radio, to reading a newspaper, to eating or drinking, or even chatting with other people in the car.

How Can We Encourage Teens to Drive Distraction Free?

When it comes down to it, we hope they make the right choice.  We can encourage them to do the right thing, and once they’re out the door the knowledge we have imparted will echo in their ears.

Talk to Them – First and foremost, let them know the real dangers of distracted driving.  They might shrug it off at first claiming they never use their phone while driving.  But they should know that there are other distractions.  Emphasize the fact that it won’t take long to get to their destination, so just keep focused on the road until arrival.

Show Them – Set a good example.  If you’re using your phone, then trying to tell them not to use their phones, it’s going to be an uphill battle.  When you’re driving together, show that you focus ONLY on the road, and you don’t even mess with the radio unless you’re at a complete stop.

Encourage Them – When you see them do the right thing, send praises their way.  If their phone rings while driving, and they ignore it, tell them you’re proud of them.  You can even go as far as setting a reward system.  If they don’t pick up their phone while driving, or otherwise stay focused on the road, treat them to ice cream, or a dinner out.

Punish Them – Rewards and encouragement work well, but so do punishments.  Be firm with consequences.  If they’re ignoring safety, take away the phone, restrict their driving privileges, cut out other privileges.  They will certainly hate you for now, but over time, they’ll realize that you are hoping for their safety.

There are a number of apps that help reduce the use of phones while driving – the iPhone actually has a built in Do-Not-Disturb feature that automatically turns on if it detects movement at speeds similar to driving.  You can even create your own “best practices” like putting the phone in the glove box while driving, or not allowing the teen to drive with passengers in the vehicle until they have a year of experience.

Herbert Law Group is Your Source for Justice

Suppose you, or your teen, are following all the safe driving protocols, and another distracted driver hits you.  What do you do?

If you’re injured, do you hope that the insurance company is going to help pay for everything, and you will have no issues collecting a settlement?  Or do you think you’ll end up fighting with them for months as they hem and haw over what actually happened?

If this is the case, you need Herbert Law Group.  We know how to deal with insurance companies, and we’re ready to go to court to fight for your justice.  You don’t have to worry about a thing, we’ll handle the troublesome insurance companies so you receive a settlement that’s in your best interest.

Motorcycles Have to be Extra Vigilant

When you’re on a motorcycle, there are times when you’re put in harm’s way simply because you’re on a motorcycle.  Road hazards that may not be a big deal to a car or truck, can turn deadly quickly for those riding on two wheels.

Today, the Car Crash Captain is looking at some of those road hazards, and seeing who ultimately could be liable if you’re injured in a crash due to one of them.

1 – Uneven Pavement or Potholes

Local governments are largely responsible for maintaining the roads.  When the roads are neglected, and damage is done to a vehicle or injury to a rider, they can be held liable.  Hitting a pothole can blow out tires and throw a rider from his or her motorcycle.

The problems come up with proving negligence.  With hundreds, or even thousands, of miles of roadway to maintain, it may be difficult to prove that the government had notice of the hazard and failed to act accordingly.

2 – Gravel and Debris

Gravel and other debris get onto the roads quite often.  From construction zones, to truck spills, to poorly maintained roads that are literally crumbling away, that debris becomes road hazards that cause motorists to lose control of their vehicles, and can cause motorcyclists to crash and be injured.

Property owners or construction companies can be held liable if their debris led to an accident.  That includes property owners who blow fallen leaves into the street instead of disposing of them properly – protect yourself from a lawsuit by maintaining your property instead of pushing it into the street and making it someone else’s problem.

3 – Improper Drainage

Most streets have storm drains.  After a heavy deluge, the water heads into the drains and is whisked away to nearby rivers.  They are generally fast and effective means of removing the water from the roads, and eliminating potential risks.

But they’re not always as effective as they should be.  Sometimes they get clogged with debris and aren’t cleared in time.  Sometimes the roads are improperly designed and they don’t drain as they should.  Large puddles are road hazards and can lead to hydroplaning and wrecks.  The municipality in charge of maintaining the road, or the construction company that built the road, could be at fault here.

4 – Overgrown Vegetation

Vegetation can block views, traffic signs, signals, and more.  It can become a problem for motorists and those riding motorcycles.

If growing on private property, the property owner is responsible to trim their trees and shrubberies so vehicles have a clean line of site.  If this isn’t done, the liability for an ensuing accident could lie, at least partially, on them.

5 – Construction Zones

Construction is essential to ensure the roads don’t become dilapidated and lead to wrecks mentioned earlier due to potholes.  And as much as it’s frustrating to deal with construction, it’s something we have to put up with so we have good roads.

It is to be expected that there are some hazards in the construction zone.  However, the company doing the work is responsible to ensure motorists know about those road hazards – such as loose gravel, abrupt drop-offs, entering equipment, and more.  If they don’t warn motorists, they can be held liable for a wreck that ensues.

Herbert Law Group Motorcycle Accident Victims

Road hazards will always be there.  Ideally, they’re handled in a fast and effective manner, but things are overlooked.

If you’re a rider, and you’ve been injured in a crash due to road hazards, it’s important that you speak with an attorney from Herbert Law Group right away.  We can help you find justice so you can focus on healing from your injuries.  Call our offices at 214-414-3808, or fill out the contact form on our site and we’ll be in touch with you.

How to Avoid a Collision with a Wide Turning Truck

Because of their sheer size, trucks aren’t able to make turns as easily as passenger vehicles.  You have probably been at an intersection that gets congested because of the need to swing wide – often because an unknowing motorist ends up in the truck’s way causing them to stop until things can get cleared up a little bit.

It’s a common issue, but it can also lead to dangerous wrecks if the truck driver, or the motorist, lacks experience.  Today, the Car Crash Captain takes a look at what these wide turning trucks can do, and how we can all stay safer on the roads.

What Happens when a Truck Turns?

Wide turning trucks often cause issues on older and narrower streets.  Because they’re hauling a trailer that makes the overall vehicle around 72 feet long, they can’t just pop into any old turn like we can in our little four-wheel rigs.

Right hand or left hand means they have to adjust the approach, or the final aspect of their turn – it often means they’re crossing into another lane to do so.  Inexperienced truck drivers or inattentive and inexperienced motorists may not recognize the turn, or be able to indicate their intent, and a wreck can occur.

Due to the size of the truck and the inability to see in large blind spots, these wrecks can be devastating, even at slow speeds.

What’s a Squeeze-Play Turn?

One of the more common wrecks is known as the squeeze-play turn.

Suppose a truck rolls on up and wants to make a right-hand turn.  But they can’t just turn right, or they’ll be hopping up and over the curb; maybe knocking over a light pole.  There’s traffic coming from their right, so they can’t swing wide into the oncoming lane as they complete the turn.

To help them around the corner, they often turn left, then swing it back to the right.  Doing so can cause the turn signal to turn off, and a motorist behind them sees the truck start to the left and they assume they’re making a left-handed turn; so, they pass on the right.

The truck then swings back to the right, and the motorist, especially if they’re in a small car, can get caught underneath the truck’s trailer.

Who is at Fault in these Wrecks?

It can go either way in these accidents.  In the aforementioned squeeze-play, it’s likely that the motorist would be at fault.  But what if the truck driver truly did signal “left” on accident?  A dash cam is incredibly handy in that situation.

In other situations, it all boils down to if the trucker was acting negligently, or doing his or her best given the roads they’re required to drive on.  Was the motorist in the wrong place, or was the truck driver impeding their travel?

Why You Need a Truck Accident Lawyer

If you were in a wreck with a big rig, then you need a lawyer to help you out.  Most trucking companies have lawyers on their side, and as soon as there is a wreck they’ll be making calls to insurance companies and legal representation.

The insurance companies will come out and assess what happened, and they’ll work their tail off to make sure the truck driver wasn’t at fault, or at least to show you’re partially at fault.  You need your own legal team to help ensure you’re not trampled legally, and you find justice.

Reckless Driving Leads to Big Problems

When you hit the road, you’re expected to drive in a safe and predictable manner.  Most traffic infractions have specific definitions.  If you exceed the speed limit, run a stop sign or red light, change lanes without signaling; these are all pretty straightforward.  Reckless driving, on the other hand, doesn’t have such a clear cut definition.  There’s not really one infraction on its own that constitutes reckless driving, and can often be left open to interpretation by the officer writing you the ticket.  The Car Crash Captain looks into it to see what we should know about reckless driving, and how to operate safely on Texas roads.

What is the Definition of Reckless Driving?

Texas law, section 545.401 defines reckless driving like this: A person commits an offense if the person drives a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.

Because motor vehicle laws are tied to the infraction, reckless driving is a bit of a catch-all for someone who’s breaking multiple laws.  For example, a motorist runs a stop sign, speeds, and swerves between lanes could be written up for each of those, but without fully seeing and being able to tally each infraction it’s easier to write a ticket under reckless driving.

Reckless driving is a misdemeanor, but it can be elevated to a felony in certain situations.

What are the Consequences of Reckless Driving?

There are a lot of rumors out there about how reckless driving affects you and your insurance rates.  Some saying it’s just as bad as getting a DUI.  Let’s set that straight:

Most of the time, reckless driving is a lesser offense than DUI.

Because reckless has such a wide range of actions that lead up to it, it can end up being worse if it leads to something more.

Someone who is driving recklessly and is pulled over, might get off with a traffic ticket and a mandatory court date.  Someone else who is driving recklessly and tries to elude the police, may end up being taken into custody.

The big difference is someone who is willfully trying to escape, versus, let’s say a teenage driving making foolish decisions.

A driver who crashes because of their reckless driving will have more consequences than one who doesn’t; a crash that kills someone will result in even more severe penalties.

Texas law allows a person convicted of reckless driving to be fined up to $200, and put in jail for up to 30 day.

The bottom line is that be safe, don’t make stupid decisions; you don’t want a reckless driving ticket on your record.

How Reckless Driving Leads to Wrecks

The big problem is that most people are at least decent drivers.  Naturally, everyone thinks they are great drivers, but for the vast majority of those on the road, they’re pretty much just average.

It’s the handful of people who make bad decisions that cause problems for those who are just going about their business.

Most wrecks are caused by reckless drivers (not to be confused with wreckless drivers which would be drivers who don’t get in wrecks) – from not paying attention, to speeding, to running lights or signs, to driving under the influence (driving while intoxicated is considered to be a reckless act).

You can be the innocent victim of someone else acting as a bad driver.

Herbert Law Group Helps Accident Victims

If you’re injured in a wreck because someone else made bad choices, then we should talk.

You have rights as a victim, and most insurance companies aren’t going to respect your rights.  Your settlement offers will likely be too low, your healing process will be dragged on, and in the end you lose out.

But when you have a Texas car wreck lawyer from Herbert Law Group on your side, you can find justice.

Why is Texas Deadlier than Other States?

Hopping on your motorcycle and feeling the wind in your air… that’s why people ride.  It’s invigorating, freeing, and many bikes get much better gas mileage than their four wheel counterparts.

But that excitement doesn’t come without its risks.  We don’t have to tell you that riding a motorcycle is more dangerous than driving a car.  Besides the obvious (the lack of protection from the car body) what leads to the higher number of fatal motorcycle accidents in Texas?

Contributing Factors to Fatal Motorcycle Accidents

According to the 2017 data from the NHTSA Texas had a total of 490 fatal motorcycle accidents that year.  That’s around 9.4% of the total deaths for the entire US (which, if you compare population for Texas vs. the USA, Texas has about 8.8% of the population).

So, what contributed to those fatal accidents?  There are a few categories we should look at.

Speed – They say that speed kills.  When you’re in the open air, it happens more often.  Among fatal car crashes, 18% were caused by excessive speed (nationwide).  But when you look at fatal motorcycle accidents, speed was a factor in 32% of those wrecks.

Alcohol – Alcohol use while driving has gone down in recent years, but it’s still a significant factor.  35% of fatal motorcycle accidents were discovered to have at least some alcohol in their system (with 28% of that 35% being over the legal limit).

Helmet Usage – If you’re over the age of 21, you aren’t required to wear a helmet when riding in Texas (with proper certification).  But, it seems that most people do.  Roughly half of the fatal motorcycle accidents occurred when the rider was wearing a helmet.  Compare that to states where no helmet laws are in place, and the un-helmeted fatalities are closer to 70% of the total.

Population – Higher population states naturally have a higher number of fatal motorcycle accidents.  But that’s not always a factor.  If you look at Florida (population 21.5 million), they had the majority of the fatal motorcycle accidents despite a lower population than many other states.

Texas has a large population.  So, the number of fatal wrecks is going to be higher.  But if everyone that rides practiced safer riding (and wear a helmet), and all other vehicles do their diligence to watch out for those on bikes, that number can continue to go down.
