Traumatic brain injury can come in many forms — all of which are serious — and from many different causes, including automobile accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, other traumatic events, and even medication use. The burden can be even greater if the brain injury was caused by someone else's negligence or recklessness. In such a case, you can seek legal action against the negligent party in court and hold him or her liable for your injuries.

In serious cases, a traumatic brain injury can constitute a substantial handicap to the individual and can directly result in one or more of the following:

A closed head injury refers to an injury where there has been no puncture or open wound to the skull. Due to impact of some kind, the victim usually suffers damage or bruising to many parts of the brain, a condition called diffuse damage. Immediately following the trauma, the victim may experience a period of unconsciousness that may last minutes, weeks, or months.
A mild brain injury or mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) may occur with no loss of consciousness. The victim may experience nothing more than a dazed feeling or a confused state for a short time. Although medical care that is administered may be minimal, individuals who suffer a brain injury without coma may experience symptoms and impairments similar to those suffered by the victim of a coma-inducing brain injury.
If you are involved in an accident resulting in injury to your head, you should seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine. Only a qualified physician can diagnose injury after an accident, including a potentially serious traumatic brain injury. If your physician determines that you were injured, and the injury was caused by the negligence of an individual or a company, you should contact Denver, Colorado traumatic brain injury attorney Shawn E. McDermott. Our experienced attorney can help protect your legal rights, and he will aggressively seek compensation from the party responsible for your injuries.
