What Compensation Can You Expect From a Denver Personal Injury Claim?

The value of a personal injury claim can vary greatly from case to case, depending on how severe the injuries are and who is liable for them. Our Denver personal injury lawyers can estimate your case’s worth based on your unique circumstances. 

You can recover compensation for several types of damages through a personal injury claim, including:

  • Past and future medical care expenses
  • Lost wages or earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

If your loved one passed away from their injuries after an accident, you might be able to pursue additional damages through a wrongful death claim, including burial and funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship. 

How Do We Determine Liability in a Denver Personal Injury Case?

When we look through the details of your case, we’ll determine who is responsible for your injuries based on the evidence available. Our first step in proving that party’s liability is establishing that they were negligent, meaning they had a duty of care to you and breached that duty. 

If we can show the party’s negligence led to the accident, we then must demonstrate that their breach of duty caused your injuries, leading you to suffer recoverable damages. Documents like your medical bills can help us prove the damages that resulted from your injuries.

How Our Denver Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help You

Starting from your free case evaluation, our skilled lawyers can handle every step of the claims process for you so you can focus on recovering and getting your life back on track. Our team will have your back while you heal, supporting you and keeping you in the loop throughout.

We start by gathering evidence, identifying liable parties, and working to build a persuasive case against them. Evidence is strongest and easiest to find immediately after an accident, so seeking legal help as soon as possible can help strengthen your claims. Our knowledgeable attorneys can also find evidence that’s not easily accessible, such as security footage.

We’ll negotiate with the liable parties and their insurance companies to secure a fair settlement, fiercely defending your interests. We won’t accept lowball offers and won’t stop fighting until you get the compensation you deserve, even if it means taking them to court and going to trial.

Common Types of Catastrophic Injuries in Denver

Denver Personal Injury FAQs

1. Does Colorado Have Damage Caps For Personal Injury Lawsuits?

Colorado does have damage caps for personal injury cases, but a new law set to go into effect in 2025 will increase them significantly and tie them to inflation every two years after. 

The new law will raise a cap on non-economic damages from $250,000 to $1.5 million and also introduces changes affecting wrongful death and medical malpractice claims.

2. How Long Do I Have To Sue For a Personal Injury in Denver?

Colorado’s statute of limitations varies depending on the type of case, from two years for most personal injury claims to three years for medical malpractice, auto insurance claims, and more. This deadline is usually set from the date of the accident but can also be pushed back if the injury is discovered later.

Our knowledgeable Denver attorneys can help you determine what type of claim you have and how much time you have to file it.

3. Can I Sue If I Was Partially At Fault For My Accident?

Colorado’s comparative negligence laws allow you to recover damages even if you were partially responsible for the accident that injured you, with two caveats. You must be less responsible than the party you’re seeking damages from, and any degree of liability you share will reduce your award proportionately.

4. How Long Will My Personal Injury Claim Take?

Every personal injury case is unique, including the time it takes to resolve. The severity of your injuries, the perceived strength of the other side’s case, and your settlement expectations can all play a role in the amount of time necessary to bring your case to a close.

There’s also a chance the liable party will refuse to settle fairly, further delaying a resolution and requiring your case to go to court. Our attorneys can go over the details of your case with you and advise you on how lengthy it might be.

5. Can I Sue If I Did Not Go To The Hospital After My Accident?

While getting medical attention immediately after an accident is important for establishing evidence for your claims, it’s not the end of your case if you don’t. You’ll need other evidence to corroborate your injuries, but recovery is still possible. Our attorneys can evaluate your case and weigh your options.
