The money we recover for our clients helps them care for themselves and their families.

We understand the trauma and life-altering changes these catastrophic personal injuries can have on an injured person's health, career and family. Therefore, we structure our fees arrangement on a contingency basis. This means that if there is no recovery, no attorney fee will be asked of you. We also pride ourselves on being our clients' advocate. Our founder, Brad T. Wyly, selected a Texas Rising Star by Law & Politics magazine in 2005 and 2006, will work directly with you. You will not be handed off to a paralegal or associate personal injury lawyer. You will be the personal client of Mr. Wyly.

A catastrophic injury or illness is one that occurs suddenly and without any warning. It very often disrupts the central nervous system, which in turn affects other body systems. It can include back and neck injuries (sometimes called whiplash injury, soft tissue injury, connective tissue injury, or facet joint injury), head injury, brain injury,  spinal cord injury, burn injury, broken bones and fractures, knee injury, shoulder injury, muscle and ligament injury, herniated or bulging discs, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) (also known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)), loss of hearing, loss of sight, loss of smell, loss of touch, paralysis, amputation, paraplegia, quadriplegia, and even death.

The physical limitations placed on a person by a catastrophic injury can also cause depression or other emotional problems. It is important to note that the effects of catastrophic injuries may not be obvious immediately after the accident. Issues such as personality changes, memory problems, or chronic pain may take time to develop. In many cases, catastrophic injuries require the expertise of numerous health professionals including physicians, nurses, therapists, and counselors. The medical costs associated with caring for a person who has suffered a catastrophic injury can be enormous.

The Wyly Law Firm, P.C. concentrates in the following types of serious personal injury and death cases:
