In the U.S., about 1.7 million people suffer the devastation of a traumatic brain injury each year. This serious and often life-changing type of injury can occur when a person falls or suffers a major jolt or blow to the head. While a significant number of traumatic brain injuries happen in auto accidents, most are attributed to falls. When a traumatic brain injury has affected your family, you may need the advice and advocacy of a qualified personal injury lawyer.

At the Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal, our Denver injury lawyers know that a severe head injury can turn your world upside down. We know that the disturbing changes that affect those with brain injuries can be extremely upsetting for family members. If this serious type of injury has touched your life, you need a seasoned personal injury attorney who can help you and your loved ones understand the many and complicated decisions you face. The Colorado injury attorneys at our firm have the medical resources and legal know-how you need to deal with serious brain injury issues, and to pursue the compensation you’ll need to help with the tremendous expense associated with such an injury.

What causes brain injuries? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls are the leading culprit, accounting for more than a third of traumatic brain injuries. Vehicle accidents cause about 17%; incidents in which people are struck by something or strike against something cause more than 16% of brain injuries. Assaults are blamed for 10%, and unknown or other events are cited in 21% of brain injury cases.

Brain injuries can have a wide range of effects. You may experience changes in your thinking ability, or you could lose your capacity to reason and apply logic. Brain injuries can alter your senses, changing how you experience smells and tastes. Your ability to walk and talk can be affected, along with your capacity to speak and to understand others when they speak to you. Emotional issues are often associated with brain injuries, sometimes leading to constant states of agitation or anger. Because of the variety of possibilities in brain injury cases, specialized care may be needed, and it may be required over a long period of time. You may require extensive therapies to recover you capabilities. Some brain injury sufferers are forced to remain permanently in nursing homes. The expense can be staggering.

Because the consequences of a brain injury can be so far-reaching, you’ll want to consult an attorney who understands the kinds of challenges you and your family face. At the Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal, our Colorado brain injury lawyers know that there is no amount of money that can return you to your pre-injury condition.
