Brain and Head Injuries

Almost 50% of all brain and head injuries are caused by automobile accidents. A brain injury is a blow to the head which disrupts function to the brain. Brain injuries can range from mild to severe. A car accident injury in Boulder or anywhere in Colorado involving the brain can be penetrating, where a foreign object enters the brain and causes damage; or closed head, which is a blow to the head. An example of a closed head brain injury is if your head hits the steering wheel, dashboard or window.

Back Injuries

A sudden jolt to the back during an auto accident can result in short-term or long-term back injuries. Car accident injuries affecting the back can be a sprain, herniated disks, or damage to the vertebrae. A short-term back injury such as a sprain may take a few weeks to recover from. However, a severe back injury can show symptoms such as tingling, numbness and chronic pain from the neck down to the lower back.
