What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury, also known as a serious head injury, occurs when an impact to the head causes damage to the brain. TBIs can result from accidents such as car crashes, falls, sports injuries, or assaults. The severity of a TBI can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage, leading to significant physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. The symptoms of a traumatic head injury can vary widely and have lifelong effects. Common signs of a traumatic brain injury include:
  • Headaches
  • Memory loss and confusion
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Mood swings
  • Loss of coordination or paralysis
  • Dizziness or balance problems
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Blurred vision
  • Sleep disturbances (e.g., insomnia or excessive sleeping)
  • Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
  • Seizures or convulsions
The effects of a head or brain injury can have a profound impact on daily life, and the road to recovery may require significant medical treatment, rehabilitation, and financial support. Immediate medical evaluation and legal assistance are crucial in securing the compensation and care you need.

Common Causes of Brain Trauma

A serious brain injury can result from a variety of accidents, and result in closed head injuries or open head injuries. The effects on victims and their families are often profound and life-changing. By understanding the common causes of traumatic brain injuries, you can gain a clearer sense of your situation and why seeking out experienced brain injury lawyers is so important. Here are some of the most frequent causes of brain trauma:

Motor vehicle accidents: Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents are among the leading causes of brain injuries. Even a seemingly minor collision can result in the brain being jolted or struck inside the skull, causing concussions, contusions, or more severe trauma. When another driver’s negligence is involved, such as distracted driving or speeding, victims may be entitled to compensation for their recovery and ongoing care.

Falls and unsafe conditions: Falls are a primary cause of brain injuries, especially in older adults and those working in hazardous environments. Whether it’s slipping on a wet surface, tripping over an obstacle, or falling from a height, the impact of hitting the head can cause everything from mild concussions to severe brain damage. Property owners or employers may be liable if unsafe conditions or negligence contributed to the fall.

Workplace accidents: Certain jobs, especially in construction, manufacturing, and transportation, pose a higher risk for traumatic brain injuries. Accidents like falls from scaffolding, being struck by falling objects, or machinery malfunctions can cause serious harm to the brain. Workers injured on the job may have the right to pursue compensation through workers’ compensation or a third-party liability claim if safety protocols were violated.

Concussion (Mild TBI)

Often caused by a direct blow to the head, concussions can lead to headaches, dizziness, and confusion. Concussion symptoms may persist long-term, causing lost income.

Contusion (Brain Bruise)

Contusions occur when a direct impact to the head causes bruising of brain tissue, leading to cognitive issues, memory loss, and emotional changes.

Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI)

DAI is caused by rapid movement of the brain inside the skull, resulting in widespread damage to brain connections. Victims often experience permanent impairments.

Coup-Contrecoup Injury

This injury occurs when the brain strikes both the site of impact and the opposite side of the skull, causing significant damage and leaving victims with severe injuries.

Penetrating Head Injury

Caused by objects piercing the skull, such as bullets or debris, these injuries often result in catastrophic brain damage, requiring extensive medical intervention and rehabilitation.

Intracranial Hemorrhage (Brain Bleed)

A brain bleed happens when blood vessels rupture inside the brain, increasing pressure on brain tissue and can lead to permanent disability.

Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)

PCS results from a concussion and causes lingering symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and concentration problems, which can last for months or years.

Hematoma

Hematomas are blood clots that form after trauma from serious head injuries, potentially causing increased brain pressure. They can lead to serious consequences, requiring surgery and long-term care.

Understanding the Legal Process for Brain Injury Cases

If you or a loved one has suffered a severe TBI, the legal process can feel overwhelming. At Schofield & Green Law, we are here to guide you through each step with clarity and compassion. Our traumatic brain injury attorneys understand the complexities of these types of personal injury cases, including the multifaceted nature of traumatic brain injury and its long-term effects, and are committed to helping you secure the compensation you deserve. Here’s an overview of the typical process involved in pursuing a brain injury claim:

1. Initial Confidential Consultation & Case Evaluation

The process begins with a free consultation where our team will listen to your story, review the details of the injury, and evaluate whether you have a valid claim. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your symptoms, medical treatment, and the circumstances surrounding the accident. Based on the information you provide, we’ll assess the strength of your case and explain your options for moving forward.

2. Investigation & Gathering Evidence

Once we agree to take on your case, we begin a thorough investigation to gather crucial evidence. This may involve:

  • Reviewing medical bills and records

  • Consulting with medical experts to assess the severity of the injury

  • Collecting accident reports, photographs, and witness statements

  • Working with accident reconstructionists (in cases involving car accidents, falls, etc.)

 

This evidence helps us build a comprehensive case and determine who may be at fault (e.g., a negligent driver, a property owner, or an employer).

3. Filing a Claim & Negotiating with Insurance Companies

After gathering evidence, we file your claim with the responsible party’s insurance company or directly with the at-fault party. Our goal is to seek fair compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. At this stage, insurance companies may offer a settlement. However, insurance companies often aim to minimize the payout, which is why it’s critical to have an experienced attorney negotiating on your behalf.

 

We’ll work diligently to negotiate a settlement that reflects the true value of your injuries, including both immediate and long-term effects on your life.

4. Filing a Lawsuit (If Necessary)

If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiations, we are prepared to take your case to court. Our personal injury lawyers are skilled litigators who will represent you in the courtroom. We will present your case to a judge and jury, demonstrating the full extent of your injuries and the impact on your life.

5. Trial & Verdict

During the trial, both sides will present evidence and call witnesses to support their claims. Our goal is to show how the other party’s negligence directly caused your injury and how it has affected your life. If we win the case, you will be awarded a verdict that includes compensation for your head or brain injury.

6. Post-Verdict or Settlement

Once a verdict is reached or a settlement is finalized, you’ll receive the compensation you’re entitled to. We’ll ensure that any required documentation is filed, and we’ll guide you through the disbursement process. It’s our priority to make sure you are fully compensated for your injuries and that you can continue your recovery without the added burden of financial stress.

Common Questions About Traumatic Brain Injury Claims

Here’s a quick guide to some of the most frequently asked questions about traumatic brain injuries and how our attorneys can help you navigate the legal process.
A TBI occurs when an external force impacts the head, leading to damage in the brain. TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe, life-altering injuries that require long-term, specialized care.
At Schofield & Green Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay any fees unless we secure a settlement or verdict for you. Our goal is to make legal representation accessible, so you can focus on recovery without financial stress.
A brain injury lawyer can guide you through the complex legal process, gather essential evidence, and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf. We fight to ensure you receive fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs. Insurance companies often complicate the process by offering lowball settlements, but we are dedicated to securing the full compensation you deserve for the long-term impact of your injury.
While you have the right to handle your case independently, navigating a brain injury claim can be complex. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, and the legal process requires knowledge of personal injury law. Having an experienced attorney on your side can maximize your chances of receiving the full compensation you deserve.
If you’ve suffered a head injury caused by someone else’s negligence, and you’re experiencing ongoing physical, cognitive, or emotional symptoms, you may have a valid claim. An attorney can review your case for free and help determine the best course of action.
In Colorado, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit, including traumatic brain injury cases, is generally two years from the date of the injury. It’s crucial to act quickly, as failing to file within this timeframe can bar you from pursuing compensation. Consulting with a lawyer as soon as possible ensures that your rights are protected, and that all necessary steps are taken to build a strong case.
Depending on the severity of your injury, compensation may cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. If your TBI leads to permanent disability, you may also be entitled to compensation for long-term care and lifestyle changes.
Not necessarily. Many brain injury cases are settled outside of court through negotiations with the responsible party’s insurance company. However, if a fair settlement can’t be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial to fight for the compensation you deserve.
