Personal Injury Cases
A big part of our practice concerns car, truck and motorcycle accidents, including uninsured and underinsured motorist claims. Many of these cases involve serious head and brain trauma or spinal cord injuries as well as wrongful death. We are knowledgeable about the Colorado statutory and case law pertaining to accidents and fatalities. When a fatality has occurred, probate issues may become involved. This firm is well-versed in the interplay of these areas.
Denver Car Accident Cases
Unfortunately, a car accident or other vehicle collision accident may involve multiple fatalities. In such cases, complex issues may arise, including issues under the non-claim statute, C.R.S. section 15-12-803; the proper parties with standing to sue under C.R.S. section 13-21-201; whether the personal representative of the victim may pursue a claim under the survival statute, C.R.S. section 13-20-101; and how claims of potential lien holders may be extinguished. Sometimes, if drugs or alcohol are involved, a question may arise as to whether the at-fault party’s conduct amounts to a “felonious killing” lifting the cap on damages under C.R.S. section 13-21-203. Our firm is well-versed regarding these issues and can assist our clients in handling complex claims.
