In Colorado Springs, we assist clients who have sustained a variety of injuries due to car accidents. Our extensive experience enables us to comprehend the distinct obstacles that accident victims encounter. The injuries our clients most frequently suffer in motor vehicle accidents include:

• Head and traumatic brain injuries (including concussions and other forms of TBI)
• Neck injuries (such as whiplash – a frequent injury in rear-end collisions)
• Back injuries (including herniated discs)
• Spinal cord injuries (often resulting in paralysis)
• Internal injuries (such as potentially fatal organ damage)
• Facial injuries (resulting in scarring or disfigurement).

We recognize that these injuries can have a significant impact on a person’s life. For many victims, resuming work may not be feasible for an extended duration or may not be possible at all. Additionally, they may encounter substantial medical expenses, ranging from immediate treatment to ongoing therapy. A considerable proportion of car accident victims also experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a psychological condition characterized by anxiety and flashbacks.
