Houston, Texas, Attorneys for Victims of Brain Injury
More than 40 years of personal injury work has truly shown us how much a brain injury can change the life of an injured person and their family.

At The Krist Law Firm, in Houston, we help brain injury victims and their families through strong and successful legal action. Our focus is on getting results — effectively and ethically.
We represent brain injury victims who have been involved in many different kinds of accidents, including people who have been injured in car accidents, truck accidents, auto defect accidents, railroad accidents, construction accidents and people who have been hurt by dangerous or defective products or in accidents at sea.

Is it a Brain Injury? Signs and Symptoms You Need to Look For
According to the Brain Injury Association of America, an estimated 5.3 million Americans live with disabilities related to their traumatic brain injury. But, many of these go unrecognized and untreated by doctors. Because brain injuries can occur without many visible signs, they are often missed by the professionals, especially in the emergency room or immediate hospitalization following injury. This is because doctors address what they can see and what they can treat. There is not much medically that can be done for mild and moderate brain injuries. That is why they are often overlooked. Unless your brain injury was so severe as to nearly cause your death, there is a distinct possibility that you may be suffering from an undiagnosed and untreated brain injury. It is well recognized that you can have a brain injury and it may not even show up on brain scans. Sometimes only family members, close friends and brain injury victims themselves suspect that a brain injury has happened.
While victims of closed head injuries might not have many physical signs of injury, there are a number of other signs of brain injuries that loved ones should look for:
- The person lost consciousness after the accident
- They have difficulty with short-term memory
- They can't concentrate or stay focused on conversations
- They get angered more easily than before the accident
- They have crying spells, when they didn't before the accident
Many brain injuries do not get better with treatment. Injured people often find that their injuries are permanent. They must learn new strategies to cope and relearn things that once came easily.
Our firm has handled a large number of brain injury lawsuits. We know what it takes to prove that these injuries are real. We know that brain injuries create circumstances that are often more difficult than other types of injuries, because the victim often looks normal and thus family members and others expect them to act normally, but the victim just can’t. It is truly hard on family members and loved ones. You will need lawyers experienced in handling brain injury lawsuits. The Krist Law Firm is that firm. Our dedication to helping brain injury victims and their loved ones has led us to establish The Krist Samaritan Center, with 18 locations throughout the Houston area offering counseling and psychological help to both victims and their families.
