Ski Accident Brain Injuries

Every skier, no matter how experienced, can suffer a brain injury when an accident causes head trauma. Even though helmet use is on the rise among skiers, helmets cannot completely protect a skier during a high-speed impact to the head.

There are several ways a brain injury accident can occur, and several degrees of brain injury of which you should be aware.

How does a ski accident brain injury occur?

A sudden blow to the head can cause a ski accident brain injury. Most often, this happens when a skier:

  • Collides with another skier
  • Hits a fixed object such as a tree or rock
  • Hits their head on the ground during a fall

These accidents can be the result of personal error or negligence, but in some cases, the cause is another party’s negligence. Some potential third-party causes of brain injury accidents include:

  • Failure of a rental helmet, either due to defect or previous damage due to an accident
  • Poorly groomed ski areas
  • Failure to warn of man-made dangerous conditions
  • Lack of barriers to prevent access to dangerous areas
  • Defective or broken rental equipment
  • Negligent ski instructors

Making the claim that another party is liable for your brain injury is a difficult process because of the inherent dangers associated with skiing and snowboarding. A Colorado ski accident lawyer can make it easier by taking on the burden of proving fault and providing evidence to support your claim.

What should I do after a brain injury?

Brain injuries range in severity from a mild concussion to a major traumatic brain injury (TBI). After the accident, go straight to a doctor for evaluation. Some brain injuries do not show obvious signs until much later. The quicker you get treatment, the better your prognosis will be.
