Texas Concussion & Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Claim Evaluation
Traumatic brain injuries range from concussions to severe conditions affecting cognition, function and earning capacity. Individual claim evaluation depends on medical evidence, causation, function, damages, responsibility and insurance. Use our free TBI settlement calculator for a broad educational preliminary range.

About the preliminary range
The calculator is a rule-based educational tool. It considers the limited information entered and displays a broad, gross preliminary claim-value range. It does not use a fixed medical-bill multiplier or a disclosed database of Texas settlements or verdicts, and it is not legal advice, an appraisal, or a prediction of settlement, verdict, or net recovery.
How TSC organizes a Texas concussion or TBI claim evaluation
A traumatic brain injury claim cannot be evaluated through a dependable medical-bill multiplier. Diagnosis, causation, symptom duration, cognitive and functional effects, future care, earning impact, responsibility, defenses, insurance, and supporting evidence may all matter.
Why traumatic brain injury claim amounts vary
There is no dependable statewide range based only on a TBI or concussion diagnosis. Symptom duration, objective and clinical findings, functional limitations, future needs, work impact, causation, responsibility, and available coverage may materially affect an individual evaluation.
Information that may affect a concussion or TBI claim evaluation
Clinical findings, imaging when appropriate, neuropsychological testing, treatment, cognitive or functional changes, work impact and impairment may be relevant to a TBI evaluation. Keep the person's reported difficulties, observed changes and formal test findings separately identified. For recommended rehabilitation or future assistance, preserve the clinician's actual recommendation, reasoning and anticipated needs rather than assuming permanent limitations from the diagnosis.
Concussion vs. moderate to severe TBI
A concussion is a form of traumatic brain injury. Recovery and symptoms vary by person. Record the clinician's diagnosis and severity classification rather than assigning a new classification from symptom duration alone. The CDC overview of moderate and severe TBI describes possible effects on thinking, movement, emotions and behavior. An individual evaluation needs the actual functional and medical record, not a diagnosis-based payout assumption.
Medical, causation and documentation uncertainties that may affect the evaluation
Recovery, prior conditions, treatment history, clinical findings, cognitive testing when appropriate and functional effects may be relevant to a TBI claim. Documentation can assist evaluation but does not guarantee recovery or a particular value. Describe what the record establishes, what is reported and what remains unresolved rather than treating a missing test as a diagnosis in itself.
Medical background and documentation
CDC information on mild TBI and concussion explains that a brain scan is not required to identify a concussion; scans may serve other clinical purposes, including assessing bleeding risk. The CDC symptom and danger-sign guide explains when emergency evaluation is needed. Keep existing records and work-status notes together with the Texas Injury Medical Documentation Checklist. For focused mild-TBI information, see the existing concussion guide. These sources provide medical background, not claim values, personal treatment advice or endorsement of TSC.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a traumatic brain injury settlement worth?
There is no dependable TBI settlement average. An individual evaluation may require neurological, cognitive, functional, vocational, liability, and insurance evidence that a questionnaire cannot fully assess.
How is a concussion related to traumatic brain injury?
A concussion is a form of traumatic brain injury. Symptoms, recovery time and functional effects vary by person, and some people report persistent post-concussion symptoms. More severe TBI may involve different neurological, cognitive and functional findings. Diagnosis or duration alone does not establish claim value.
How do you prove a traumatic brain injury?
Organize the clinician's diagnosis, history, examination, treatment and documented functional changes, with test reports when testing was performed. Do not equate the absence of a brain scan with the absence of concussion; the CDC background linked above explains this distinction. Clinical diagnosis, the collision's role, functional effects and claim value are separate questions that a questionnaire cannot fully resolve.
Is this TBI settlement calculator free?
Yes — completely free with no sign-up or obligation. Participating law firms pay flat-fee advertising subscriptions; consumers are not charged for using the calculator or educational resources.
This tool produces a preliminary, non-binding estimate based on the information you provide and general personal-injury valuation methods. It is not legal advice, not a guarantee of any outcome, and not a substitute for review by a licensed attorney. Actual settlements and verdicts vary widely based on evidence, jurisdiction, insurance coverage, and many other factors. Texas Settlement Calculator is not a law firm and does not practice law; use of this tool does not create an attorney-client relationship.
