Security-Widefield Brain Injury Claims After a Highway 85 or Bradley Road Crash
McCormick & Murphy are Security-Widefield 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 El Paso County Sheriff's Office report, the UCHealth Memorial Hospital records, and file in the El Paso County Combined Courts.
Traumatic brain injuries in the Security-Widefield area often arise from vehicle collisions on U.S. Highway 85, Bradley Road, and nearby corridors connecting to Fountain and Colorado Springs. A head strike during impact—even without loss of consciousness—can cause lasting changes in memory, concentration, mood, sleep, and physical coordination. Many people underestimate the severity because they feel "fine" immediately after the incident.
A normal CT or MRI scan does not rule out concussion or traumatic brain injury. Symptoms may emerge hours or days later. Cognitive fog, persistent headaches, irritability, balance problems, and difficulty returning to work are red flags. We investigate the full mechanics of your injury, gather medical records from UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central and other providers, and build a record of how the accident altered your daily life and earning capacity.

Proving Your Brain Injury Claim With UCHealth Memorial Records and Testing
Proof of a brain injury claim rests on several pillars: the force and nature of the traumatic event itself, medical imaging and emergency records from the scene or hospital, neurological and neuropsychological testing, symptom progression over time, and documented changes in your cognitive and physical abilities. We obtain records from UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central and any specialists who have evaluated you. We also collect observations from family members, employers, and educators who have witnessed the impact on your memory, attention, mood, and work performance.
El Paso County Combined Courts expects a clear nexus between the incident and the symptoms. We piece together therapy notes, MRI or CT results, formal neuropsych testing, and functional assessments to show that your brain injury is real and causally linked to the accident or event. School grades, employment reviews, and fitness records before and after the injury strengthen that connection. This evidence is then presented to the insurance adjuster, mediator, or jury.
Local investigations may involve El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, incident scenes near Fontaine Boulevard or Fort Carson, and follow-up care through UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central in Colorado Springs.
Security-Widefield is an unincorporated community southeast of Colorado Springs. Injury claims from this area often involve Highway 85 / Bradley Road corridors and are venued in El Paso County Combined Courts.
Traumatic brain injury cases require proof of the incident, medical diagnosis, and how the injury affects your thinking, mood, sleep, work, and daily life. Gather these records and observations early.
- Emergency room or urgent-care records from UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central or other first-responder facility documenting the incident and initial symptoms
- Police or incident report from El Paso County Sheriff's Office showing what happened on Highway 85, Bradley Road, or the road where the injury occurred
- Imaging studies (CT, MRI, X-rays) even if the scan appears normal, since brain injury can occur without visible damage
- Neurology evaluation or formal neuropsychology testing showing cognitive, memory, concentration, or processing changes
- Written timeline of symptoms you or family members observed: headaches, dizziness, mood changes, sleep problems, sensitivity to light or noise
- School, employment, or work records documenting absences, performance decline, or job restrictions after the injury
- Therapy notes (physical, occupational, speech, or mental-health treatment) reflecting progress and ongoing limitations
- Journal or written notes by family members describing daily-function changes: self-care, balance, decision-making, ability to work
- Future-care recommendations from your treating provider, neurologist, or neuropsychologist
- Medical bills and records of all treatment seeking, even if you thought symptoms were minor at first
Collect and organize these records now so your claim is strong when filed in El Paso County Combined Courts.
See a Doctor Promptly, Then Let Us Build Your Medical Record
Seeking prompt medical attention after any head trauma—even if you feel relatively unharmed—creates a medical record that protects your claim. Physicians and nurse practitioners at emergency rooms document baseline observations; later neurological exams and neuropsychological testing reveal hidden deficits. Some deficits emerge only weeks or months after the incident, so ongoing treatment and follow-up visits are crucial. We work with your medical team to ensure all symptoms, test results, and functional limitations are thoroughly documented.
Future medical care is a substantial component of damages. A brain injury specialist may recommend cognitive rehabilitation, vestibular therapy, or long-term neuropsychological support. We obtain expert opinions on the type, duration, and cost of care you will likely need for the rest of your life. That projection—combined with your lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and non-economic losses—drives the value of your settlement or judgment before El Paso County Combined Courts.

Does a Normal CT Scan Mean You Don't Have a Brain Injury?
Do I need Security-Widefield brain injury lawyers?
Call Security-Widefield 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.
Do I have to file my brain injury claim by a certain date?
Yes. The filing deadline depends on what caused the injury, not when you were diagnosed. A car crash on Highway 85 or Bradley Road typically follows a three-year statute of limitations from the crash date. Unsafe property or public-entity claims may have shorter deadlines, sometimes just 182 days. Contact us immediately to confirm your deadline, especially if several months have passed since the injury.
My CT scan came back normal. Does that mean I don't have a brain injury?
No. Many traumatic brain injuries and concussions do not show up on standard imaging. We focus on changes in your memory, concentration, headaches, mood, sleep, balance, and ability to work or attend school. Those functional changes are the core of your claim, and they are supported by medical records, neuropsychology testing, and family observations.
What do I need to prove happened to receive compensation?
You must show: (1) a specific traumatic event—such as a collision on U.S. Highway 85 or Bradley Road, or an unsafe condition on a property; (2) a medical diagnosis linking the injury to that event; (3) how your thinking, mood, physical abilities, sleep, work, and daily life have changed since the injury; (4) the cost of past and future medical care; and (5) how the injury affects your earning capacity. We help organize medical records, family statements, and expert opinions to prove this chain.
How much does it cost to hire your firm for a brain injury case?
McCormick & Murphy works on a contingency fee, meaning we earn an attorney fee only if your case is settled or won. You do not pay us unless you recover. Separate from the attorney fee, we advance case costs (medical records, expert reports, court fees) out of pocket; those costs are reimbursed from your settlement or judgment. We will explain the fee agreement and cost estimate upfront.
Where will my case be filed?
Since you live in or were injured in Security-Widefield, an unincorporated area of El Paso County, your case will be filed in El Paso County Combined Courts in Colorado Springs. We handle all filing and court appearances on your behalf.
