Closed Head Injuries
Representing Denver Victims of Negligent Drivers
Closed head injury is more common in car accidents and other vehicle accidents than most people realize. While swelling or bleeding of the brain and unconsciousness are more obvious, subtle injuries such as axonal shearing due to the brain's violent collision with the wall of the skull can result in nerve damage that may take weeks to reveal serious an often permanent damage.

Our closed head injury team, lead by attorney Michael O'Connell offers 40 years of combined experience in personal injury law.

Experienced in handling complex head injury from an accident
A closed head injury can be extremely difficult to diagnose in some victims. Because a person's cognitive abilities may deteriorate over time, many do not notice such things as:
- Subtle changes in behavior, mood swings or emotional trouble
- Slow loss of memory or increased difficulty recalling things
- Fainting or other temporary loss of consciousness
- Difficulty concentrating or becoming easily distracted
- Struggling to form thoughts or mixing up words and phrases
- Trouble following conversations or understanding people
- Fatigue, an increase in lethargic behavior or difficulty sleeping
If you or a loved one are in an automobile accident, no matter how minor injuries may appear, we urge you to seek medical attention immediately. Then talk to a knowledgeable closed head injury lawyer before you talk to anyone else about the accident or your injuries.
Our knowledge and experience handling serious catastrophic injuries can help ensure you get the attention and special care your case needs. By consulting with brain injury experts, accident investigation specialists and life care planning professionals, we will help you and your loved ones obtain the compensation you are legally entitled to collect in order to pay for all future medical treatment, expenses, lost income and all life's necessities in the years ahead.
