Manitou Springs Brain Injury Claims After A Crash Or Fall
McCormick & Murphy are Manitou Springs brain injury lawyers for people injured in a crash, a fall, or other trauma. A normal CT or MRI does not end the claim. We get the Manitou Springs Police Department or the El Paso County Sheriff's Office report, the UCHealth Memorial Hospital records, and file in the El Paso County Combined Courts.
A blow to the head or violent jolt during a collision on U.S. Highway 24, Manitou Avenue, or anywhere in El Paso County can cause a traumatic brain injury that never shows up on a standard CT or MRI scan. Concussion and post-concussion syndrome affect memory, focus, mood, sleep, balance, and your ability to work and live normally. We represent Manitou Springs residents who suffered brain injuries in vehicle crashes, falls on unsafe property, or incidents involving law enforcement that required treatment at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central.
The injury itself may feel subtle at first—headaches, dizziness, or trouble concentrating—but cumulative effects worsen over weeks and months. We document how your cognition, emotions, physical function, and daily routine have changed since the incident. That record becomes the foundation of your claim against the at-fault party or their insurer.

Proving A Manitou Springs Brain Injury With Records And Reports
We collect emergency room records, imaging studies, and neurology or neuropsychology evaluations to establish the injury and its severity. We also obtain therapy notes, school or employment records showing decline in performance, and observations from family members who witness your daily struggles. These documents prove the connection between the traumatic event and your ongoing symptoms.
We work with medical experts to explain why a normal scan does not rule out concussion or traumatic brain injury, and to project your future medical needs and care costs. The Manitou Springs Police Department and El Paso County Sheriff's Office incident reports, along with witness statements and scene documentation, establish how the injury occurred.
Local investigations may involve Manitou Springs Police Department and El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, incident scenes near Ruxton Avenue or Woodland Park, and follow-up care through UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central in Colorado Springs.
Proving a brain injury requires more than a normal scan. We build a complete record of how the injury changed your thinking, mood, physical abilities, and daily life.
- Emergency room records from UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central or other first-response care in El Paso County
- Imaging studies (CT, MRI) and any records stating results were normal or inconclusive
- Neurology or neuropsychology evaluations documenting cognitive, memory, and concentration changes
- Therapy notes (physical, occupational, speech, or mental health) tracking recovery and ongoing symptoms
- School records, employment records, or performance reviews showing functional decline after the injury
- Family, friend, or caregiver observations describing changes in mood, sleep, balance, or personality
- Medical records of headaches, dizziness, or other physical symptoms following the incident
- Documentation of the traumatic event (police report from Manitou Springs Police Department or El Paso County Sheriff's Office, accident scene photos, witness statements)
- Future-care opinions from treating providers about ongoing treatment, medication, therapy, or monitoring needs
- Statements or records from your employer or school describing work or academic limitations
Collecting this evidence early preserves details and supports your claim.
Get Neuropsychological Testing To Document Your Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury does not always produce visible findings on standard imaging. We rely on neuropsychological testing, cognitive assessments, and clinical evaluation to quantify deficits in memory, attention, processing speed, and executive function. These specialized tests show how the injury has degraded your mental capabilities compared to your baseline before the incident.
We also document changes in mood, sleep patterns, balance, headache frequency, and day-to-day functioning that you and your family observe. This functional picture—how you move, think, work, and interact—carries substantial weight in settlement and trial negotiations.

Does A Normal Scan Rule Out A Manitou Springs Brain Injury?
Do I need Manitou Springs brain injury lawyers?
Call Manitou Springs brain injury lawyers when symptoms affect memory, work, or daily life, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Colorado Springs office is at 929 W Colorado Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80905.
Does a normal CT or MRI scan mean I don't have a brain injury?
No. Many concussions and traumatic brain injuries do not show up on standard imaging. Brain injury is documented through symptom changes, neuropsychological testing, and functional decline in memory, concentration, mood, sleep, and balance—not by scan results alone. We focus on what has changed in how you think, feel, and function since the injury.
What is the deadline to file a claim for a brain injury in Manitou Springs?
The filing deadline depends on what caused the injury, not the diagnosis date. A vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 24 or Manitou Avenue may follow one deadline, while a slip on an unsafe property follows another. Public-entity claims involving El Paso County or Manitou Springs may have different rules. Contact us immediately so we can confirm the correct deadline for your specific incident.
How do you prove a brain injury if I've returned to work or school?
Returning to work or school does not erase a brain injury. We document the specific struggles you face—slower processing, difficulty concentrating, relying on notes or reminders, reduced hours, or job changes. School and employment records often show performance decline or accommodations. Family and supervisor observations help establish that you are not functioning at your pre-injury level.
What records should I keep after a traumatic brain injury?
Keep all medical records, imaging results, therapy notes, and provider bills. Also document changes yourself: a journal of headaches, sleep problems, mood shifts, memory lapses, or daily struggles. Save emails from employers or teachers about performance or accommodations. Gather family and friend observations in writing. These records strengthen your claim and are critical for El Paso County Combined Courts.
How does McCormick & Murphy charge for a brain injury case?
We work on a contingency fee, meaning we earn an attorney fee only if your case is settled or won. You pay nothing upfront for legal fees. We do advance case costs separately—such as medical records, expert evaluations, and court filing fees—which are recovered from any settlement or verdict. Our fee structure ensures we are invested in your recovery.
