A personal injury lawyer deals with an area of law where physical injuries to a person are caused by another person’s actions. There are many types of personal injury claims a Colorado Springs personal injury attorney can help with, depending on how the injury occurred — motor vehicle collisions, truck and motorcycle accidents, injuries on someone else’s property (such as a slip and fall), accidents involving auto and pedestrian/bicycle accidents. Injuries can vary widely but generally involve some type of physical or psychological injury including brain injuries (concussion/TBI’s), spinal injuries, broken bones, injured organs and other internal injuries. In the worst cases the injuries can involve the loss of a loved one. When caused by someone else’s negligence, it’s called wrongful death.
Our firm serves the greater Colorado Springs metro area and El Paso County and handles many different types of personal injury cases. If we don’t practice in a particular area, such as medical malpractice, we probably know someone locally who does and can refer you to them.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer investigates how you were hurt, identifies who’s legally responsible, deals directly with the insurance company on your behalf, and works to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of quality of life, inconvenience and, when you’ve been hurt badly, permanent physical impairment. The benefit of hiring a personal injury attorney to deal with these matters is it helps you focus on what’s important, recovering instead of fighting an adjuster.
Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Colorado Springs?
If you’ve been injured by the actions of another person, at a minimum you should reach out to a personal injury attorney in Colorado Springs, CO to discuss your situation. Because you aren’t legally trained, you’ll otherwise be at the mercy of an insurance company to tell you what your case is worth, or forced to rely on their evaluation of your injuries to get compensated. Speaking with a Colorado Springs personal injury lawyer helps you understand your rights and responsibilities when dealing with insurance companies. This protects you, and that’s the best reason of all.
