Laura Brown
Brown Trial Firm
Laura Brown has devoted her career to fighting for people who have been seriously injured and for families who are grieving the wrongful death of a loved one.
For over 20 years, she has represented clients in wrongful death and injury cases resulting from truck accidents, major car wrecks, medical malpractice, personal injury and more.
In recent years, Laura has made birth injury cases a particular focus of her practice. She represents babies who have suffered serious injuries at birth resulting in cerebral palsy in Texas and across the nation. As a mother herself, she truly loves representing children and serving as an advocate for them.
Laura went to Baylor Law School and graduated with her J.D. in 1992. Her premedical background was the perfect training for her legal career, and she spent her first 7 years defending medical negligence cases before deciding that her heart was really with the victims of major accidents and medical negligence.
Laura is an adjunct professor at Baylor Law School, where she teaches Advanced Trial Preparation and Personal Injury Trial Law. As an active member of the legal community, she has also published articles and given lectures on Advanced Medical Malpractice topics through the “Lost Chance of Survival” series.
Laura gives speeches across the country to labor and delivery nurses about the types of medical mistakes that she has seen in working on birth injury cases and helping educate these nurses on steps they can take to prevent injuries to babies in the future.
Laura Brown is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization—a designation held by only 10 percent of Texas attorneys.
Laura was named as a Super Lawyer by her peers in the Texas Monthly Super Lawyer publication. She is a member of the American Association for Justice, Birth Trauma Litigation Group, Interstate Trucking Litigation Group, and the Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America.
Outside of the law office and courtroom, Laura is an accomplished pilot, skydiver, scuba diver and black-belt kickboxer. Her husband, Mark, is a commercial airline pilot and shares her love for flying and the water, but prefers not to jump out of airplanes. They both enjoy running and skiing, and their 2 children are active in all types of sports.
