Regardless of your line of work, it is possible for you to sustain a head or brain injury in the course of performing your job.

At Hoggatt Law Office, P.C., we understand that head injuries are among the most serious types of on-the-job injuries. Our team is equipped to help you get the benefits you need when you have suffered a workplace head or brain injury.

Head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI), can cause serious, irreversible neurological damage. Some injuries are so severe that the victims’ lives are changed forever. The skilled attorneys at our firm have the knowledge and skills to assist those who have suffered:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI);
• Concussions;
• Brain contusions;
• Hearing disturbances;
• Skull fractures; and
• Many other types of head and brain injuries.

Victims who have sustained injuries to the head or brain often require extensive medical care and long-term rehabilitative treatment. Some may never fully recover, leaving them unable to return to their job. In cases like these, it is crucial to employ the help of an experienced workers’ compensation attorney.

Recognizing the Symptoms of a Head Injury

Sometimes, a head injury is fairly obvious, especially if the victim is bleeding or in severe pain. In other cases, however, it is not unusual for victims to sustain a serious brain injury, including a concussion, without realizing it. It is important to understand that a brain injury is possible even without a direct impact to the head. A violent jolt, for example, could be enough to cause the brain to collide with the inside of the skull in such a way that causes damage and injury.

If you have suffered any type of accident at work, be aware of the warning signs of a possible brain injury, which include but are not limited to:

• Dizziness;
• Confusion;
• Changes in vision;
• Headaches;
• Seizures;
• Irritability and other changes in your mood or temperament; and
• Tingling or loss of feeling in your extremities.

Protecting Your Rights in Northern Colorado

Under Colorado law, if you are injured on the job, you are generally entitled to collect benefits under the state’s workers’ compensation system. Such benefits include payments for medical expenses, time away from work, partial or total disability, and vocational retraining when appropriate. Unfortunately, collecting the benefits you need after an on-the-job injury is not always easy.
