Our team of personal injury attorneys serves the needs of personal injury victims and families with wrongful death claims in Colorado. In order to have a claim for a personal injury in Colorado you must establish three things: 

1. Liability
2. Damages
3. Causation

In placing a value on a personal injury case, our qualified automobile accident and personal injury lawyers look primarily to three things:

1. Economic damages
2. Non-economic damages
3. Physical impairment

Economic damages are best viewed as monetary losses or "out of pocket expenses." Most cases have at least three types of economic damage. Property damage, medical bills, and wage loss.

Most people think of "pain and suffering" as non-economic type damage related to an automobile accident. However, non-economic damages related to injuries sustained in a motor vehicle collision or from other negligence includes much more.

Unfortunately, the long term effects of a motor vehicle collision can be serious. Car crash victims may suffer from torn ligaments or tendons, broken bones that don't heal, head injuries, and even brain injuries. In wrongful death cases, families will never fully recover.

Every injury case has what is known as a Statute of Limitation. This is the time frame by which a lawsuit must be filed under the law or the case will be barred and forever lost. In most cases, we are able to resolve the matter through negotiations and by sending what the industry refers to as a "demand letter."
