A Trusted Voice in the Media

Justice Served:

Record Verdicts Achieved

For their successful pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, and Stephen Higdon have been awarded the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s prestigious 2021 John Howie Award. The honor is based on the trial team’s work representing an Alabama mother who lost three children in a tragic West Texas highway accident.
In a case that drew national attention, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, P. Wes Black, and Michael Wozniak won a record-setting $109.5 million verdict against CPS Energy after proving the company’s failure to maintain its gas system led to a devastating explosion and fire. The result not only delivered justice for the victims — it set a new standard for accountability in the utility industry.
The firm secured a landmark jury verdict for a client whose life was permanently changed after systemic hospital failures caused a nearly five-hour delay in emergency surgery, resulting in catastrophic paralysis. The case brought to light serious breaches of hospital policy and was recognized by Courtroom View Network as one of the nation’s top verdicts of 2022.

Understanding Brain Injury Law & Local Practice in Austin, Texas

Texas personal injury law enforces deadlines and requirements for brain injury claims, often requiring a case to be filed within two years of the accident. Travis County courts and Austin insurers each have specific rules and processes that can affect how quickly and effectively you pursue compensation. Our attorneys have handled brain injury claims throughout Texas and understand what local judges, juries, and insurance companies expect in these serious cases. With each new case, we bring the full benefit of our in-depth knowledge of Austin’s legal landscape.

Austin's rapidly growing population creates unique situations for those pursuing brain injury cases. Local hospitals like St. David’s Medical Center and Dell Seton set protocols for medical records, shaping the evidence available in many claims. Changes in traffic and workplace environments can affect the types of accidents we see, and Travis County’s court procedures often influence timelines for hearings and mediation. Our understanding of these regional differences helps guide clients around obstacles, expedite processes, and move forward with confidence.

brain injury FAQs

Austin, texas

Brain injuries can result from many events, including car crashes, truck accidents, falls, and workplace incidents. Any trauma that impacts the head or disrupts brain function may qualify for legal action.
Texas law usually allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. Starting the process early allows your attorney to collect time-sensitive evidence and preserve your best options.
If the injury prevents someone from managing their affairs, a family member may pursue a claim on their behalf. Our team can help guide families through the appropriate legal procedures.
Many brain injury claims are resolved through negotiation, but some do go before a judge or jury. We prepare every claim thoroughly so you are ready for trial if necessary.
Lawyers consider current and future medical needs, lost income, the severity of life changes, and any additional care you require. Every situation is unique, so our approach reflects your personal circumstances.
