What is a Traumatic Brain Injury

A brain injury is any head injury that alters a person physically, emotionally, or mentally. The two main types of brain injuries are traumatic and non-traumatic. Traumatic injuries occur by means of external forces and non-traumatic injuries originate internally.

Common Causes of Traumatic brain injury

  • Pedestrian accident
  • Motorcycle, scooter, or bike accident
  • Car crashes
  • Sporting accidents
  • Defective products
  • Assaults and acts of violence
  • Dog bites, etc.

  • Concussion
  • Skull fracture
  • Headaches
  • Blurred vision
  • Disrupted cognitive functions
  • Memory loss
  • Depression and anxiety, etc.

Traumatic Brain Injury Claims and Recovery

TBI cases are more complex than minor injury cases and, therefore, require a lot of legal work and investigation when you file a lawsuit. An experienced Denver traumatic brain injury lawyer will walk you through the process and explain your legal options. Then, they will investigate your case and gather all the evidence you need to prove liability on the part of the other parties. Your lawyer will also negotiate with the insurance companies for compensation so you have all the financial resources you need at your disposal.

While preparing your claim, they will consult with medical experts and life-care planners to understand your injuries, lifestyle changes (if any), and estimate your total recovery costs. From there onward, it’s about negotiating with the defendant’s lawyers for a full settlement or proceeding to trial for a verdict. Once you win, you’ll be fully compensated for most or all damages, such as:

  • Past and future medical bills, including doctor’s visits and therapy
  • Lost wages due to inability to work
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disability or scarring
