| • Auto Accidents • Motorcycle Accidents • Truck Accidents • Medical Malpractice • Nursing Home Malpractice • Heavy Equipment Accidents • Spinal Cord Injury • Burn Injury • Workers Compensation Injuries • Wrongful Death Personal Injury (Accidents, Malpractice, Police Abuse, etc.) Our firm represents individuals involved in controversies alleging a wrong or damage to another’s person, rights, reputation, or property resulting from events or activities such as automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home malpractice, heavy equipment accidents and all forms of negligence or intentional acts. Some of these acts may involve spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, disfigurement, physical impairments or any type of physical and emotional injury. Personal injuries are often devastating. In addition to the physical pain and suffering one may suffer, these injuries can turn your life upside down. Suddenly, instead of having time to do the things you want (like spending time with your family), you are going to doctor appointments or you cannot work. Even worse, many injuries prevent you from doing the things you enjoy. Playing catch with our son or cooking with your daughter (or a host of many simple activities of daily living) cause unbearable pain. Other activities are simply beyond your limitations and you are physically unable to do them. The sudden inability to enjoy life’s simple pleasures often causes mental anguish and a loss of self-worth. These injuries are real, but not typically understood by others. We want to help the injured through this difficult time of physical and emotional injury. We will help you get the treatment you need and, if possible, back in the saddle again. If that is not possible, we will help you get the compensation you need to be made whole. Wrongful Death Wrongful death refers to a lawsuit which alleges that someone was killed as a result of the negligent conduct or misdeeds of another. Wrongful death suits often arise as a result of auto accidents, truck accidents, personal injury accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, construction site accidents, dangerous or defective products or drugs (i.e. Vioxx), or other accidents, negligence or injuries. Where the reckless, careless or negligent acts of another are the cause of the wrongful death, his or her actions are often subject to personal injury and/or wrongful death lawsuits. The loss of a family member due to an accident or injury causes great pain and turmoil as well as unimaginable loss within a family. Often the suddenness of the loss and confusion leaves the decedent’s family feeling powerless, and many questions unanswered. While hiring a wrongful death lawyer in the immediately aftermath of a tragic loss may seem relatively unimportant in the face of such a severe loss; hiring the right lawyer is a critical decision that may dramatically effect the lives of the surviving family members. In Colorado, the surviving spouse has the right to bring a claim within the first year following death, but other decedents may bring it with the spouse’s permission or after that one year time period. Workers’ Compensation Injuries that occur at work require the knowledge and experience of an attorney that practices in this area. The insurance companies have adjusters and attorneys that are trained in this area, so we believe the injured worker should have someone representing them with the experience in dealing with employers and insurers. The rules of workers' compensation change yearly. The insurance company will take advantage of these changes and may not be providing all of the benefits an injured worker deserves. An adjuster may be very friendly and it may appear that the claim is being handled fairly, when in reality there are benefits that have not been paid or are being underpaid. Unless you have experience in these cases, there is no way to know if the friendly adjuster has failed to mention that you should have been paid at a higher rate or should have been compensated for other items that the law allows. We want to help injured workers. We have a great deal of experience handling back, neck, and head injuries, but we look at each case individually to see if we can help, no matter what part of the body is injured. Insurance companies have complained that the cases involving attorneys are more costly to them than cases without attorneys. There is a good explanation for this. We know what you're supposed to receive according to the Workers' Compensation laws and we fight to make sure the insurance company does what it is required by law to do. Without an attorney, they have no one looking over the company’s shoulder to make sure things are done right. |
