Brain Injury Attorney in Colorado Springs

Brain injuries run the gamut from mild to severe and can have life-altering consequences.

The Reality is that it Takes a Lawsuit to get Compensation.

Traumatic Brain Injury is an acquired brain injury that occurs when the head is struck by an object or jolted in such a manner resulting in traumatic damages to the brain. The United States Center for Disease Control approximates that nearly 1.4 Americans receive traumatic brain injuries every year. 50,000 people die every year from this type of injury from the more than 200,000 people who are hospitalized. This kind of injury is one of the most serious types of personal injury anyone can receive.

Mild brain injuries may not be debilitating and someone who suffered a mild brain injury can sometimes expect to make a full recovery but still may require diligence treatment. Severe brain injuries are different and people who suffer from this type of injury may not ever fully recover cognitive function and require lifelong treatment or therapies.

The four most common types of accidents resulting in brain injuries are:

Slip and Fall Accidents
Car Accidents
External Trauma
Assault

How Much is my Brain Injury Case Worth?

Compensatory damages are available to Brain injury victims. Compensatory damages are intended to compensate a plaintiff for losses in an injury accident. Compensatory damages in a brain accident lawsuit can include both “economic” costs and “non-economic” damages.

Anyone injured in a brain accident may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit for damages caused by a negligent party. Injury victims can file a lawsuit to recover damages that can include:

Court Costs
Disfigurement
ER Treatment
Future Medical Treatment
Hospital Stays
Loss of Consortium for Spouse
Loss of Enjoyment in Life
Lost Earning Capacity
Lost Wages

Medical Bills
Medical Supplies
Nursing Home Care
Pain and Suffering
Physical Disability
Physical Therapy
Prescription Drugs
Property Damages
Vehicle Repairs

How Long After a Brain Injury Can I File a Lawsuit?

Brain Injury victims should contact an experienced attorney immediately after an accident. An experienced attorney understands how to deal with difficult insurance companies and know-how they try and get out of paying for a victim’s injury claims.

When filing a lawsuit, the victim may not know who is responsible for causing the accident or injury. In most cases, the trial will name every potential defendant who may have had a role in causing brain injury.

Whether a minor brain injury or a severe brain injury, a brain injury lawsuit can take a long time to reach financial settlements. Most states allow plenty of time between the injury/accident and the deadline for filing a lawsuit. Injured victims should contact a brain injury lawyer for advice on when to file.
