Immediately after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the victim may be unconscious, and in a coma. The victim may also be in pain from swelling and bruising – and/or disoriented for a time. Unfortunately, in the most severe case, a head injury victim may lose bodily functions and remain through his or her life in a “ vegetative” state. The majority of cases are less severe, and most victims suffer from memory loss or confusion, but recover many or most normal functions.
You need a strong advocate who can protect your long-term interest while you concentrate on getting better if you have suffered a brain injury in a car accident or in a fall accident, a manufacturing accident or a construction accident. Even if you treat with a neuropsychologist or a similar health care professional, you may experience lingering symptoms that will require rehabilitation and therapy.
As a former claims adjuster, attorney Mary Jeffers is well suited to evaluate your injuries, to review doctors’ and insurance company records, and to negotiate with the insurance company. If you have no insurance, or have inadequate insurance, she advances costs in most cases, and will be repaid when your workers’ compensation claim or personal injury claim or lawsuit is paid or settled.
If your head injury happened in the course and scope of your employment (for example, in a car accident or in a manufacturing accident) Colorado workers’ compensation lawyer Mary Jeffers can help you document your injury, explain to claims adjusters the extent of your injury and demonstrate to workers’ compensation insurers the need for wage loss benefits and medical treatment.
