Defining Brain Injuries and Common Causes

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when violent physical force or a penetrating head injury disrupts a person’s normal neurological function. Symptoms range from temporary concussions to catastrophic cognitive disabilities that alter a person’s life.

Traumatic brain injuries frequently arise from:

Car accident cases
Motorcycle accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Rideshare accidents
Truck accidents
Bicycle accidents
Slip and fall accidents
Defective products
Workplace accidents
Medical malpractice
Premises liability

If you suffered a TBI in one of these accidents, you could be entitled to file a brain injury claim against the party responsible.

Recoverable Compensation in a Brain Injury Case

Victims of brain injuries often face extensive medical costs throughout their lifetime. Depending on the specific facts of your case, your compensation award may cover:

Emergency medical intervention
Ongoing hospital care
Specialized neurological treatment
Long-term cognitive rehabilitation
Lost income and diminished future earning capacity
Personal daily care assistance
Accessibility modification
Pain and suffering
Reduced quality of life
Loss of consortium/companionship

Importantly, non-economic damages like pain and suffering are subject to statutory limits under C.R.S. § 13-21-102.5. But damages awarded for physical impairment are generally exempt from caps.
