The Colorado Department of Labor document on TBI should be considered carefully. Much of it is extremely out of date. It has some very serious errors. And, it has some biases that favor the Workers Comp insurance company against the injured worker.

I was appalled as I read it. For example, It says that mTBI injuries recover within 12 months with very little room left for consideration of longer or incomplete recoveries. This is a common bias held by the Workers Comp insurance industry.

It's strength is for the severe TBI injured worker who is left comatose from their brain injury. The mTBI issues are very poorly understood. This is quite common for a government bureaucracy.

I consider the document to be of little value to the injured person or their family. Even professionals should read it with skepticism .
