Question 1

What types of accidents most often result in traumatic brain injuries (TBI)?

Accepted Answer

Traumatic brain injuries can result from a wide range of incidents, many of which involve a sudden blow or jolt to the head.

In TBI cases, the severity of the injury can vary from a mild concussion to permanent brain damage that impacts cognitive and physical function.

Understanding how these injuries occur can help victims and families determine whether someone else’s negligence played a role, and whether legal action may be appropriate.

Common accidents that often cause brain injuries include:

Motor vehicle collisions (car, motorcycle, truck, or pedestrian accidents)
Falls (including slip and falls, falls from heights, or workplace falls)
Sports-related accidents (especially contact sports like football or boxing)
Acts of violence (such as gunshot wounds or assault)
Medical malpractice (including oxygen deprivation or surgical errors)
Construction or workplace accidents involving falling objects or unsafe conditions

If you or a loved one sustained a TBI in one of these situations, you may be eligible to pursue a brain injury lawsuit and seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, and long-term care.

Question 2

Can I file a lawsuit even if brain injury or concussion symptoms appeared weeks after the accident?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you may still be eligible to file a brain injury lawsuit even if your symptoms were delayed.

Traumatic brain injuries, especially mild TBIs or concussions, can sometimes take days or weeks to fully present themselves.

Colorado law does not require immediate symptoms in order to establish legal grounds for a claim.

What matters is that medical documentation and expert testimony can connect the delayed symptoms to the initial incident.

It’s important to speak with a personal injury attorney as soon as you begin experiencing signs of brain trauma, regardless of when they began, to protect your right to compensation.

Question 3

What if the insurance company denies my brain injury claim?

Accepted Answer

If an insurance company denies your brain injury claim, that does not mean you are out of legal options.

Insurance companies often reject valid claims in traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases, especially when the symptoms are delayed, subjective, or not visible on imaging scans.

An experienced TBI attorney can help you challenge the denial by gathering expert medical opinions, establishing liability through investigation, and filing a personal injury lawsuit if necessary.

Springs Law Group can evaluate your case and advocate on your behalf to pursue the compensation you may be owed.

Question 4

What long-term challenges do brain injury survivors often face?

Accepted Answer

Survivors of TBIs frequently deal with long-term complications that affect their health, independence, and overall quality of life.

Even a moderate injury can disrupt physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning.

Common long-term challenges include:

Memory loss and difficulty concentrating
Chronic headaches and persistent fatigue
Emotional regulation issues, including depression or irritability
Speech or communication difficulties
Seizures or increased sensitivity to light and noise
Changes in personality or behavior
Reduced mobility or coordination problems

These ongoing effects can make it difficult to return to work or maintain relationships, adding financial and emotional strain to survivors and their families.

A legal claim may help secure resources for long-term care, therapy, and support.
