Personal Injury Law
Individuals suffer personal injuries every day. When injuries are caused to an individual due to the negligence or fault of a third party, that individual can assert a personal injury claim against the negligent/at fault third-party. We are personal injury lawyers that represent clients who have suffered injuries due to a third-party’s negligence. Personal injuries can arise from any event in which a third-party is negligent. More common events include:
- Car crashes/collisions
- Motorcycle crashes/collisions
- Trucking crashes/collision
- Slip and trip and fall incidents
- Dog bites/injuries caused by animals
- Premises liability claims/Injuries sustained on the property of another
Sustaining a personal injury affects you physically, emotionally, and economically. You might be unable to work, incapable of maintaining your household, and unable to engage in social and recreational activities.
It is important to retain knowledgeable personal injury attorneys like Chris Dugan and Heather Campbell. A personal injury lawyer can help you obtain a fair and just reward. If you’ve been injured due to another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to damages for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning potential
- Physical pain, impairment, and/or disfigurement
- Mental and emotional pain and distress
- Loss of enjoyment of everyday life
We will help you understand the personal injury claim process and litigation. We are here to educate you about Colorado’s personal injury law and to discuss every option with you based upon the circumstances of your claim and your personal situation. Ultimately, it is always our client’s decision whether to settle their claim and for what amount, whether they choose to go into formal litigation by filing a lawsuit, or whether they decide that going all the way through trial is their best option.
Wrongful Death
If someone you love died a wrongful death, you might be entitled to financial compensation. A wrongful death claim is when an individual’s untimely death is caused by the negligence of a third-party. Survivors and beneficiaries of the individual can assert a wrongful death claim to get compensation for their loss, including compensation for mental anguish, loss of income from the individual that died, loss of that person’s services, and sometimes for expenses for medical bills and other care and treatment of that person.
Insurance Bad Faith
Insurance companies owe their policy holders a duty of good faith and fair dealing. This duty automatically exists by operation of law in nearly every insurance contract and is often referred to as the “implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.” If an insurance company violates that covenant, the policy holder might have a claim against their insurance company. Bad faith can happen when an insurance company improperly investigates and/or valuates any number of different claims including personal injury and property damage claims, or if the insurance company refuses to pay a judgement entered against a policy holder.
