Pueblo Medical Malpractice Lawyers - Gerash Steiner, P.C.

Pueblo Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Around 2018, the state of Colorado reported its highest number of medical malpractice claims. Since then, claims for medical errors have been on a steady decline. Whether that is actually a result of fewer injuries or a result of more barriers for medical malpractice claimants is debatable.

If your healthcare provider has been negligent in providing you with the care that you need, contact our team of Pueblo medical malpractice lawyers at Gerash Steiner & Blanton, P.C. today. Our lawyers have decades of combined experience, and we are proud to have Eric Steiner—who is both a medical doctor and lawyer—as part of our team. Dr. Steiner has over 17 years of experience as a cardiac anesthesiologist and over 20 years of hands-on legal experience. His in-depth medical knowledge gives our medical malpractice clients a distinct advantage over clients of other firms. We will fight for the compensation that you deserve for your injuries.

Doctors and healthcare providers are one of our first lines of defense against illnesses. Googling the possible underlying cause of your ailments can only help so much. So it is understandable that most people place their trust in their doctors to provide adequate healthcare given their knowledge and expertise. However, in some cases, those same doctors can provide care that causes further injury.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What happened in my case was all new to me + time sensitive.  Dan connected with me immediately and explained the options, all while being concerned about how I was doing.  He finalized the matter in a best possible outcome.  Along the way Dan & Dianne kept me informed and answered every question that came up, I can't thank them enough.  (After a few rough experiences with attorneys over the years, I'd highly recommend the Gerash Steiner Blanton firm!)

Shelby is professional, efficient, intelligent, and incredibly understanding. She helped put my mind at ease throughout a terrifying legal process and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. I’m truly grateful for the positive outcome she was able to achieve in my case. I can only hope the firm knows what a valuable asset Shelby is. Thank you, Shelby, for all your hard work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan + the team are genuinely the sweetest folks around. Dan went above and beyond to make my experience as painless as possible. Not only is he a good lawyer, but he's a good person, too. Not every lawyer is going to put this much care and kindness into his work, and it definitely makes this law firm stand out in my eyes as being different from the rest. Would recommend him/his team to anyone who asks!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed a lawyer to help me with a minor traffic accident which was my fault. I was charged with 3 incidences that might have resulted in the loss of my license. Shelbi Danner an associate with Gerash Steiner P.C. came highly recommended by my trust attorney William Carpenter. She gave me very clear instructions on what she needed from me in order to be able to represent me. She encouraged me to take a drivers safety class offered on line which showed I was being proactive. Shelbi’s expertise got my case dismissed for which I am very grateful. I would highly recommend Shelbi Danner.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot speak highly enough about how incredible Gerash, Steiner, and Blanton, P.C. are to work with! I was so lost, frustrated, and discouraged when I came to this law office regarding an auto accident I had been in a few months prior. As soon as I completed my initial meeting with this team, I knew I had come to the right place for help. Shelbi, Esq., is one of the most incredible legal advocates I have ever had the pleasure of working with (her personalization and attention to detail in written demand letters are second to none.) Shelbi truly was my “right hand woman” throughout this case; she fought for the best outcome and compensation for me in every way. I have never worked with a better legal team than Gerash, Steiner, and Blanton. I highly recommend this office for any and all of your legal needs!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience with Dan and his team. I can confidently say this firm genuinely cares about their clients. Dan and Shelbiy made me feel incredibly comfortable through the entire process - which was about a year for me. They were both empathetic, relational, patient, and considerate with me. When they needed to be tenacious on my behalf, they were. I couldn't recommend this firm enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I owe Dan Gerash and Shelbi Danner a debt of gratitude. They represented me in a jury trial in Jefferson County where I was wrongfully accused by an Arvada Police Officer that resulted in a Not Guilty verdict on all charges. Their thorough professionalism and attention to detail was incredible. They advised me throughout the entire process and were always honest and up front with me about my case. They were always prompt in responding to questions or giving me information about my case. I can't say enough at how well they presented my case when I finally got my day in court. There is no one else I would go to for legal representation in Colorado. Thank you Dan and Shelbi!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They weren't able to take my case because the GIA notice deadline had passed, but Diane is a lovely person. She did look into the details to make sure the legal deadlines had indeed lapsed. She and Eric seem thorough, professional, and realistic about expectations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shelbi, who works with Gerash Steiner Blanton, is the best thing that ever happened to me! My husband and I were in motorcycle accident that left my husband with a moderate TBI. On top of trying to heal from that, he was forced to go through the criminal court process when he was clearly not ready. Shelbi was a god send! She talked to him like he was a normal person, instead of how everyone else talked over his head to talk to me since I was his caretaker. She made him feel like he had a say in what was going on and explained the entire process each time. She never lost patients with either us, and did a ton of work to ensure the best possible outcome. In the end, we had a favorable outcome and we owe all of that to her. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for caring representation, not just another lawyer looking to line their pockets with your money.

They were all wonderful- not just because of the work they did, but because of their humor, kindness, and care. I cannot imagine anyone else I could want on our side. Thank you so much for everything. We feel lucky to know you.

How Can I Prove that My Doctor Was Negligent?

In the state of Colorado, a negligence claim as a result of medical error is based on:

Whether your doctor or other healthcare provider owed you a legal duty of care as a client;
Whether your healthcare provider breached that legal duty of care;
Whether there was an injury to you as a client; and
Whether your healthcare provider’s conduct is directly related to the injuries that you suffered as a result of their breach of legal duty.

Proving these elements will be essential to establishing your claim and obtaining compensation for your injuries..

Can Gerash Steiner & Blanton Handle My Claim?

The Pueblo medical malpractice lawyers at Gerash Steiner & Blanton are here to assist you with your medical malpractice lawsuit. The term “medical malpractice” covers a wide range of injuries that you could have suffered while under the care of a negligent healthcare provider. Our medical malpractice lawyers can assist you if:

You have received a misdiagnosis from your doctor, which led to further injury;
You have been injured by your doctor during the course of regular treatment;
Treatment from your doctor exacerbated an existing ailment; or
Your doctor prescribed improper medication, which led to an injury.

Although your specific cause of injury or instance of medical negligence may not have been listed, reach out to our firm so we can determine how we can best assist you.

Do I Have a Claim for Medical Malpractice?

Whether you have a medical malpractice claim depends on whether your claim satisfies all the elements of a malpractice claim and whether the statute of limitations has run. In Colorado, the statute of limitations is two years after the cause of action accrues. This means that if you were injured by your doctor, or otherwise received negligent healthcare, your time to bring a medical malpractice claim begins to run from the moment of the incident.

Will I Be Able to Recover for My Medical Malpractice Claim?

Whether you are able to recover compensation for your medical malpractice claim mainly depends on the severity of your injuries. Catastrophic or other severe life-altering injuries will generally lead to more compensation. Additionally, your healthcare provider’s conduct and the conduct of any third party that can be traced to your injury will be other important factors to consider.

There are three types of damages that can be recovered for your claim in Colorado:

General damages,
Special damages, and
Punitive damages

Remember that Colorado places a cap on your total damages for medical malpractice— they cannot exceed $1,000,000, including damages for pain and suffering. Although Colorado recently increased its caps on damages for various other claims in 2020, the cap on damages for medical malpractice remains the same.

Regardless of the circumstances, an experienced medical malpractice attorney can assist you in seeking all three forms of recoverable damages. Our team of Pueblo medical malpractice attorneys is ready to help you on your journey to obtaining the compensation you deserve.

Will I Be Able to Settle My Claim?

We understand that each client is different. Some may desire a quicker resolution to their case.

Dealing with the mental toll that comes with your once-trusted doctor’s medical negligence is enough to rattle the most secure mind. This may mean that you opt to settle your medical malpractice lawsuit outside of court. We can assist with that too. Settling outside of court does not necessarily mean that you will have to take less than you expected. However, it does mean that you will need a creative mind that will advocate on your behalf.
