Brain Injuries

Contact Us Form

A traumatic brain injury is the most complicated and complex injury to understand – especially because each of our thought processes are unique. The brain is the home for our thoughts, our emotions, our self-image — the very sense of who we are and what is happening.

No two people will respond the same way to a traumatic brain injury, and the symptoms can be subtle and life changing.

The Complex Effects of a Traumatic Brain Injury

A brain injury may come from a blow to the head or a traumatic force applied to the head — such as, shaking or rapid movements in a collision or oxygen deprivation to the brain. A loss of consciousness is common but not required for a diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury. One can experience headaches, confusion, dizziness, changes in sleep or emotional patterns and appropriate diagnosis and treatment is critical to finding the road to recovery. Some of the symptoms can include problems with memory, concentration, attention, or multi-tasking — sometimes called executive functioning. Head trauma victims may need vocational therapy in order to work in a productive capacity again.

Help for Head Injury Victims

At Hillyard, Wahlberg, Kudla and Sloane, we have represented clients who have been diagnosed with mild, moderate, and severe traumatic brain injuries. We understand the complex and unique treatment plans and rehabilitation programs available for brain injuries. We have worked with neurologists, neurophysiologists, and a variety of specialists to help victims and their families heal from such a traumatic event.

Attorney Daniel Sloane is a past President of the Brain Injury Association of Colorado Link, and currently sits on its Board of Directors. He, our other attorneys, and professional staff are dedicated to obtaining the financial resources our clients need to recover and rebuild their lives.

We have settled the overwhelming majority of the brain damage cases we have handled, but occasionally we have had to try the cases to juries — with extraordinary results. In 2003 for example, Steve Wahlberg was lead counsel on a brain injury case where the jury returned a $2.5 million dollar verdict.

The Complications of a Spinal Cord Injury

Among other factors, the medical effects of a spinal cord injury depend to a large degree on the location of the injury. In severe cases, paralysis of one or more limbs may result. The long-term effects of a spinal injury may include cardiovascular problems, organ failure and psychological effects such as depression or anxiety. The family of the victim must cope with problems of long-term care and perhaps a loss of income. Even when a spinal cord, back or neck injury is less severe and treatable, the pain and suffering can be great.
