YOUR RECOVERY. OUR FOCUS.
How we build
a brain injury claim.
A pickup ran the light at Hulen and Vickery and hit your door. Or a pallet slid off a forklift at a warehouse up near Alliance. You went home with a headache and a printout of ER instructions. Weeks later, you still don’t feel like yourself.
Bring the ER discharge sheet, the police report number, and your insurance card to the first meeting. Add anything an adjuster has mailed you. From there we go after the store or dash cam video and the other side’s policy.
Let’s talk about your situationA board-certified trial lawyer.
Look up Aaron Herbert on the State Bar of Texas site before you call. Then ask how he would show a Tarrant County jury the changes your family sees at home.
We lock down the proof.
Dash cams loop. Store cameras record over themselves. A ladder that failed gets thrown in a dumpster. Our first letters ask the people who have them to keep them.
Your doctors lead the care.
We don’t diagnose. If you need a specialist and can’t get in, tell us. We can help you find doctors in Fort Worth and talk through how the bills might get paid.

Serious injuries
in Tarrant County
by the numbers.
TxDOT counted 1,076 people with suspected serious injuries in Tarrant County crashes in 2025, up from 983 the year before.
How many of those were in Fort Worth?
TxDOT counted 15,680 crashes inside Fort Worth in 2025. 562 people came away with suspected serious injuries. 112 died.
Head injuries aren’t counted on their own. Ask us what the report on your crash lists as your injury code.
Was your child hurt?
A child’s two years usually don’t start until the 18th birthday (CPRC §16.001). Say your son was 15 when a driver ran the light on Rosedale. He can usually file until 20.
The parents’ claim for his medical bills can run on a shorter clock, so check both.
What can a brain injury claim include?
Past and future medical bills: surgery, therapy, medication, rehab. Lost pay, and lost earning power if you can’t go back to the same job. Pain, mental anguish, and physical impairment. Property damage too, like the car.
Medical bills count at what was “actually paid or incurred” (CPRC §41.0105).
Where would my case be filed?
Most Fort Worth injury cases that reach court go to the Tarrant County civil district courts. They sit in the Tom Vandergriff Civil Courts Building at 100 N. Calhoun Street. Some cases against out-of-state companies go to federal court, in the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division.

brain injury attorney.
Use the first call to test us. Ask who would work your file, which records we would get first, and how the fee works.
From the firm: why speaking with an injury attorney matters.
A board-certified trial lawyer
Aaron is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Check it on the State Bar of Texas website. It takes about a minute.
We read the whole chart
The ER note from the day of the crash. The neurologist’s visit three weeks later. Therapy in between. In date order, those records show how the injury changed your days.
Family members get heard
Who noticed first? Often a spouse or a teenager. We ask them for dated notes: the burned dinner, the missed turn on the drive home, the word you couldn’t find.
We take the adjuster’s calls
Once you hire us, the insurer calls us, not you. Please don’t sign their medical release before we read it.
Ready for a Tarrant County jury
Most cases settle. Insurers notice which lawyers will try a case at the Vandergriff building. We prepare every file as if a jury will see it.
No fees or expenses unless you recover
The first meeting is free. Ask us to walk through the fee and costs with a sample number before you sign.
AFTER A HEAD INJURY
What to bring to
your free consultation.
Bring what you can find. If keeping track is hard right now, bring someone who can help.
See a doctor.
Go today if you were hit in the head and haven’t been checked. Symptoms can show up days later. Keep every discharge sheet.
Get the report number.
A Fort Worth police crash report, a store incident report, or your supervisor’s name for a work injury.
Start a symptom log.
Headaches, sleep, dizziness, mood. Write the date next to each entry. Ask your family to add what they notice.
Call before you sign.
Don’t give a recorded statement or sign a release for the other side’s insurer until a lawyer has read it.
Cars get crushed. Business cameras record over old video within days. Call soon so we can ask people to save it.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CLAIM
A head injury is the start.
The records
decide the claim.
Texas makes you prove three things: a duty, a breach of it, and that the breach caused your injury. Here is how that plays out.
Who owed you care?
The driver on Loop 820. The grocery store with the leaking cooler. The contractor running a downtown job site. Each had a legal duty to be careful. Job-site cases are on our Fort Worth construction accident page.
How did they fall short?
A driver ran the red light. A store knew about a leak and left it for hours. Proof that the owner knew, or should have known, usually decides a Fort Worth slip and fall case.
Did it cause your injury?
Expect the adjuster to blame an old sports concussion or stress at work. Your ER notes from that day help answer it, and so do your doctors. Over 50% of the fault on you bars recovery (CPRC §33.001).

CLEAR ANSWERS. A BETTER NEXT STEP.
Brain injury
questions.
Your situation is unique.
We’re here to listen.
Does it cost anything to talk with you?
The first talk is free. If you hire us, you pay no fee or expenses unless you recover. Ask how the money would split on a sample settlement.
How long do I have to file a brain injury lawsuit in Texas?
Usually two years from the injury. For a child, the clock generally waits until age 18. Ask us to check your date early. See CPRC §16.003 ↗.
I felt fine after the accident. Is it too late to see a doctor?
Go now. Changes in mood, sleep, or memory can show up in the days and weeks after a blow to the head. A doctor’s visit protects your health first, and it also creates a record.
What kinds of accidents cause brain injuries in your cases?
Car and truck wrecks, falls in stores and on job sites, workplace accidents, and assaults. Any accident can cause one under the wrong conditions.
Can I bring a claim for a family member?
A parent can bring a claim for a child. For an adult who can’t make decisions, a court may need to appoint a guardian first. Bring any power of attorney signed before the injury.
What if the insurer says I was partly at fault?
Then a jury can split the blame. At 20% on you, the award shrinks by a fifth. Past 50%, you get nothing. A store camera on Camp Bowie can end that argument. See CPRC §33.001 ↗.
Should I accept the first settlement offer?
Your doctors might not know the full picture for months. Signing a release usually ends the claim for good. Have the offer reviewed first.
