Accidents & Injuries
What Can You Do When You or A Loved One has been Hurt by the Acts of Others?
You are entitled to justice from our legal system. You are entitled to Economic Justice. You are entitled to compensation to attempt to make you whole.
Automobile & Truck Accidents
Colorado now has a fault system. This means you are entitled to sue or make a claim against the person and their insurance company who caused your injuries in an auto accident. After more than a decade of “no fault insurance” where you were supposed to get automatic payments, the Colorado law has changed.
You are now left on your own to recover for an injury caused by someone else’s careless driving. Your own auto insurance no longer has even basic medical coverage unless you purchase a rider for an extra charge. You must pursue your own claim for medical treatment and medical bills, and physical rehabilitation therapy. You must pursue your own claim for vehicle and property damage. You must pursue your own claim for lost wages and income.
Our attorneys have experience in every type of case from simple fender benders with some minor medical bills to crash fatalities. We have experience working with accident reconstruction experts and engineers who can help us tell the true story - your story of what actually happened.
Truck Accidents are serious by their very nature. When a multi-ton truck hits your vehicle the damage is bound to be serious. Trucking Companies and Truck Drivers are subject to government safety regulations. When a Trucking Company chooses to put off repairs, when a Trucking Company chooses not to put safety equipment on its fleet, when a Truck Driver chooses to drive without enough sleep, when a Trucking Company employs a Truck Driver with a poor driving record and these choices cause you or your loved ones serious injury you are entitled to compensation
Serious Personal Injuries
Many injuries are so serious that there can never be true recovery. There is no compensation for the loss of an arm, or a leg, or an eye, or the ability to work, or the ability to take care of one’s children or the ability to play or even one’s life.
However, we can seek monetary damages for the nursing care, for the child care, for the medical care, for the housekeeping services, for the expense of all those who now have to be hired to do the things you used to be able to do.
Medical Malpractice
We entrust our health and our lives to the physicians who treat us. Hospitals and the Medical profession are supposed to have standards on how cases are treated. However, with the ever increasing pressure to reduce health care costs, the doctors, nurses and hospitals who treat us are rushing around to push us through the system faster than ever before.
Sometimes mistakes are made. This does not mean a doctor, nurse or hospital are bad people it means they were negligent and if their mistakes hurt you, they should pay to make up for how you were hurt and to pay for services for what you no longer can do.
We gather your medical records and have them reviewed by qualified doctors. If they tell us your treating doctor, nurses or hospital did not follow the standards of practice for doctors in that area of medicine we pursue a claim for you. Again, we can seek monetary damages for the nursing care, for the child care, for the medical care, for the housekeeping services, for the expense of all those who now have to be hired to do the things you used to be able to do.
Workers’ Compensation
When you are hurt on the job and can’t work you are entitled to medical treatment and income protection. Claims for injuries at work must go through the Workers’ Compensation system. We work with an alliance of referral attorneys to make sure your employer’s insurance gets you the medical treatment and income payments you deserve so your family can survive until you are recovered and can return to work. If your injuries are more severe and you cannot return to work we seek to maximize your benefits so you and your family can go on.
