Colorado Castastrophic Injury & Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney

Life-Changing Injuries Demand Serious Representation

A catastrophic injury—especially a traumatic brain injury (TBI)—can alter every part of life: work, family, memory, mood, and independence. You may be facing complex medical decisions, mounting bills, and an insurance company eager to minimize your losses.

At The Lawrence Law Firm, we represent catastrophically injured clients across Aurora, Denver, and the Front Range (Arapahoe, Adams, Jefferson, and Douglas Counties). Our mission is simple: protect your legal rights, coordinate your care, and pursue the full compensation you need for long-term recovery.

We understand how insurers evaluate catastrophic and TBI claims, the medical proof they respect, and the long horizon of costs families must plan for. From day one, we lock down evidence, map every available insurance policy, and build a case that tells the full story of your injury—clearly and convincingly.

Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

TBIs range from mild (concussion) to moderate to severe, but “mild” only describes initial presentation—not outcomes. Many clients with so-called “mild” TBI experience persistent deficits.

Common TBI symptoms:

• Headaches, light/noise sensitivity, nausea

• Memory lapses, slowed processing, word-finding difficulty

• Mood changes: irritability, depression, anxiety

• Sleep disturbance, fatigue

• Visual and vestibular problems: blurred/double vision, dizziness, balance issues

How TBIs are diagnosed/documented:

• Emergency records: mechanism, loss/alteration of consciousness, amnesia

• Neurology/PM&R evaluations

• Neuropsychological testing: objective measures of attention, processing speed, memory, executive function

• Vision & vestibular testing: neuro-optometric and vestibular therapy assessments

• Imaging: CT/MRI; advanced studies (as ordered by treating physicians) may include susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), DTI, or other modalities

Insurers often argue “normal imaging” equals no brain injury. We counter with clinical findings and objective testing that capture subtle but disabling deficits imaging can miss.

Damages in Catastrophic & TBI Cases

We pursue every category the law allows, including:

• Past medical expenses

• Future medical care: neurology/PM&R follow-ups, vestibular/vision therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, counseling, pain management, surgeries, durable medical equipment, home/vehicle modifications, attendant care

• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity (with vocational and economic analysis)

• Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life

• Physical impairment/disfigurement

• Household services and caregiver time

• Out-of-pocket costs (mileage, devices, co-pays)

• Wrongful death damages where applicable

For TBIs, we build a life-care plan to translate clinical needs into projected lifetime costs—evidence adjusters and juries can understand.
