Types of Cases We Handle

If you or a loved one suffered serious injuries at the hands of another person or business, we can help. As a full-service Colorado Springs personal injury and wrongful death law firm, we handle all types of accident cases, including the following.

Car Accidents

Car accidents are one of the most common causes of preventable injury and death in Colorado and the country as a whole. In fact, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation, there are over 100,000 motor vehicle collisions every year. While many of these accidents are minor, in about 15 percent of collisions a negligent driver harms or kills someone. Most serious Colorado car accidents are the result of speeding or drunk driving. The vast majority of car accidents are entirely avoidable if only drivers exercised reasonable care.

Truck Accidents

Anyone with experience driving on I-25 understands the hazard that semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles pose to motorists. While most truckers take their job seriously and understand the consequences of dangerous driving, that is not always the case. Truck drivers are under tremendous pressure to travel as many miles per day as possible. As a result, truckers are frequently drowsy and may take over-the-counter or illegal substances to combat fatigue. Depending on the circumstances, the truck driver’s employer may also be liable in a Colorado Springs truck accident.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists lack the protection that the occupants of other vehicles enjoy. As a result, Colorado motorcycle accidents are among the most likely to result in serious injury or death. While motorcycles represent only a small fraction of the total number of vehicles on the road, motorcyclists represent upwards of 15% of all fatal accident victims. If you have been hurt in a motorcycle collision, allow us to help you hold the negligent driver accountable.

Premises Liability and Slip and Falls

Businesses and other property owners have a legal duty to provide a safe space for invited guests. When a business owner fails to take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of their guests, they can be held liable for any resulting damages through a Colorado premises liability lawsuit. If you slipped and fell in a grocery store, parking lot, or even someone’s home, the responsible party may owe you compensation.

Defective Products

Companies that manufacture and sell products have an obligation to consumers to ensure the product is safe for its intended use. If a product is capable of causing serious injury, the manufacturer must provide the end-user with warnings about how to avoid injury. If a dangerous or defective product, medical device, or pharmaceutical drug harms you, the manufacturer may owe you financial compensation.

Medical Malpractice

We trust doctors and other medical professionals with our lives. However, doctors are human and make mistakes. If doctors take the proper precautions, many of these mistakes are preventable. If a pharmacy error, surgical error, misdiagnosis, or any other form of negligent medical treatment causes you harm you can bring a Colorado medical malpractice case against the provider.

Catastrophic Injury

While any injury can seriously disrupt your life, catastrophic injuries carry consequences that impact the rest of your life. Catastrophic injuries include brain injuries, spinal injuries, permanent scarring, and disfigurement. Those responsible for causing catastrophic injuries can and should be held accountable for their negligence.

Construction Accidents

Construction sites are notoriously dangerous and present serious risks for both workers and passers-by. Most construction accidents involve falls, electrocution injuries, and being struck by or against objects. While those responsible for your injuries may be liable to you for damages, these cases are often complex and involve multiple parties. That is why it is a good idea to hire a seasoned Colorado Springs injury lawyer when you are harmed at a construction site.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one in a preventable accident is one of the worst tragedies someone can experience. While nothing can bring back a loved one, a wrongful death lawsuit allows family members to obtain meaningful compensation to cover the costs they will inevitably face due to the at-fault party’s negligence. Wrongful death claims can be brought after any type of fatal accident, including motor vehicle collisions, slip and falls, incidents of medical malpractice, and more.
