A traumatic brain injury (TBI) happens when a blow or jolt to the head disrupts how the brain works. Some are mild concussions that clear up in a few weeks. Others cause permanent changes to your memory, focus, mood, and ability to work.
Some brain injuries, particularly mild TBIs and concussions, may not be visible on a CT scan, and the person living with one may not fully recognize what’s changed. Families are usually the first to notice. Sometimes, these injuries are hard to notice on paper, which is exactly what insurers need to say that nothing is wrong and minimize your settlement.
Heuser & Heuser has handled these types of injury cases in the Colorado Springs area since 1996. Our personal injury lawyers in Fountain know how insurers work and can fight back to get the compensation you deserve. You can count on our Fountain brain injury lawyer to get what you need to treat your injury and support your future.
Compensation Our Fountain Brain Injury Lawyer Will Pursue for You
What a brain injury claim is worth depends less on the accident that caused it and more on what the injury does to a person’s life over time. Our brain injury lawyers in Fountain will work with you to get a clear picture of your current and future losses.
Understanding your medical bills, emotional and physical pain, and estimated future costs will help us calculate how much compensation you should receive.
Once we know how much your case is worth, we won’t stop until the insurance company has offered a fair settlement. If they don’t, we’ll have no problem taking your case to trial to get what you need. Depending on the details of your injury, we may pursue any of the following damages:
- Cost of emergency care and imaging
- Cognitive and occupational therapy expenses
- Cost of medication and medical devices
- Lost wages
- Decreased earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life

Why Choose Our Firm
Fountain sits at the edge of Fort Carson, and this firm has represented that community since 1996. Brennan Heuser, one of our partners, grew up in Colorado Springs and served in combat before he practiced law here. He has spent his own time inside the military and VA systems Fountain families use, and he understands how a head injury gets handled inside them.
Gordon Heuser has practiced injury law in this community since 1985. Two brothers started this firm, and the family still runs it. Decades of these cases teach you where a brain injury claim breaks down. An insurer sees a clean scan and argues that nothing is wrong. The family sees memory, temper, and sleep change at home.
Our team works on contingency, so there are no upfront costs and no fee unless we win.
If you need treatment and don’t have insurance, we can connect you with doctors in our network and, in some cases, arrange care through a medical lien. That way, you don’t have to pay for your treatment until we’ve recovered your compensation.

Our brain injury attorneys in Fountain are familiar with all of the types of brain conditions that accidents can cause. We know how to work with doctors to document your needs and strengthen your claim for damages.
