Head and Brain Injuries in Midland, Odessa, TX and New Mexico — An Overview

Head and brain injuries often affect every aspect of your health. Your brain controls your thoughts, your speech, your body movements, and the function of nearly every organ in your body. Sometimes brain injuries are obvious to your loved ones who know you but are subtle and hard to prove to the stranger or observer.

We know insurance company policies, practices and procedures and how our clients can make the most of them.

Catastrophic Accidents 

At The Kemmy Law Firm, we realize that people involved in serious accidents experience life-changing losses that affect nearly every aspect of their lives: their ability to provide; their ability to engage; their ability to recreate; their ability to live without pain; and their ability to enjoy the daily relationships and activities we simply take for granted. Severe head and brain injuries are compounded with medical debt, lost income, loss of companionship and the total disruption of one’s daily life.

In the midst of all this, the injured person and their family is trying to deal with uncooperative insurance companies and their adjusters whose job it is to persuade the person to give up his or her rights, and accept less compensation than they are entitled to. Beyond that, most hard-working people never imagine they will ever need to bring a lawsuit, and there is a genuine reluctance to do so. But when someone violated safety rules at your expense, and so much harm has been done, you need to turn to a worthy advocate that you can trust.

We have over five decades of combined experience protecting people and their families at the time of their darkest hour. We have helped families heal from catastrophic losses. We have provided the income stream that was lost. We have secured lifelong medical care. We have held accountable the wrongdoer who has taken so much from our client and his or her family.

While we have secured tens of millions of dollars for our clients, that is simply a reflection of our mission: to protect your family by holding accountable those who have caused such catastrophic harm.

    "They made a significant recovery for me."

    My husband was injured in a workplace accident in 2022. The first law firm he went to looked at his case and turned it down. he had all but decided to give up when he called the Kemmy's. They took his case and ran with it. In the end, they made a significant recovery for me. I highly recommend the Kemmy Law Firm.

    Everyone we worked with was amazing. They were so patient and explained everything in detail. They worked with my mom and then when she passed away the game plan changed and they made sure to explain everything. We were blessed to have them on our team. I would highly recommend them.

    Head and Brain Injury Settlements

    Based on our investigation we will submit a demand to the responsible party’s insurance company. They may ask for additional information in response. They may deny liability or offer less than the demand. We normally enter into negotiations, which, in most cases, are successful. If an insurance company isn’t being fair or reasonable, we will file a head injury or brain damage lawsuit. Most of them settle as well.

    When deciding how to handle negotiations, you need to think about all the harm done since the accident and the expected, future harm. You also need to consider the downsides of going to trial, including the risks your case may be dismissed or your damage award may be less than expected. The uncertainties that come with having a trial decide the outcome of a claim is a major reason why both sides choose to settle.

    Negotiations are based on the needs of both parties and the ability to establish trust and work together. Mistakes by either party can be:

    • Not acting in good faith
    • Seeing negotiation as a test of wills or a game
    • Failing to fully understand the strengths and weaknesses of a case and factoring them into what to offer, demand and accept

    Preparing a Head and Brain Injury Lawsuit

    If a lawsuit is filed, part of the litigation process is discovery, where both parties normally find all the critical facts, which can speed up negotiations. Both sides ask each other questions in writing and under oath, exchange documents and information. Often the parties, after discovery, get a full picture of the important facts, understand the value of the case and reach an agreement.

    During the investigation and litigation phase we often use experts. These are highly educated and experienced professionals who often work on lawsuits and can give their opinions in court. We use accident reconstructionists to help us determine the cause of accidents and who is at fault. Medical experts can explain the nature and extent of injuries and how long limitations are expected to last.

    This is all part of trial preparation, which starts when we’re retained by a client. Every step in the process is taken with the attention and seriousness needed to prove a client’s case in court. Our level of effort is the same, whether we’re negotiating with an insurance company or at trial.
