Personal Injury
In most cases involving personal injures the injuried individual is expected to pay additional medical expenses while unable to work during his/her period of recovery. If you or someone you love is facing these issues, it is important to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer to help you.
Workers' Compensation
Colorado's workers' compensation laws are very complex, and often adjusters will try to exploit the injured person's lack of knowledge. As such, it is very important that you consult with an experienced Colorado workers' compensation attorney to make sure you recieve the benefits you deserve, and the medical care you need.
Social Security Disability
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is insurance you have paid for during your working years. If you become disabled and are unable to work from the result of mental damage or physical injury (i.e. paralysis, lower back injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, etc) Social Security Disability Insurance provides income until your condition improves.
Traumatic Brain Injury
A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is caused by sudden physical damage to the brain (not including injuries that are hereditary, congenital, or degenerative). This type of injury can be manifested by, but not limited to, loss of consciousness, memory loss, or a change of mental state at the time of the incident (feeling dazed or confused).

Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is negligence committed by a professional health care provider—a doctor, nurse, dentist, dental office or staff, pathologist, neurologist, oncologist, cardiologist, toxicologist, pharmacologist, technician, nursing home or staff, hospital or hospital worker—whose performance of duties deviates from a standard of practice of those with similar training and experience, resulting in harm to a patient or patients.
Visual Midline Shift
The midline shift syndrome results in a patient experiencing a constant sense of disequilibrium, difficulty with maintenance of balance, an inappropriate posture and weight distribution on the balls of the feet, and/or an inappropriate gait, combined with a directional drift. Such patients also often express that they perceive their world in a strange way, in that the horizon may be tilted, walls may be tilted or compressing in upon them. This unusual phenomenon often occurs following a neurological event such as a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Motorcycle Accidents
Motor accidents are the leading cause of death between 6-33 year olds in the United States. More than 3,000 cyclists are killed each year. Many others are seriously injured and undergo serious life changes and disabilities due to motorcycle accidents. Motorcycle accidents often result in fatal crashes because of the light weight of the motorcycle and the lack of protection for the driver. When motorcycle riders are not seen by the drivers of SUVs, cars and trucks, they can easily sideswipe a rider and force him into a spinout or fatal crash without even realizing it.
Statute of Limitations Issues
Statutes of limitations restrict the time period that a person can file a lawsuit. These statutes not only vary by state, but they also vary by cause of action. In Colorado, there is a two-year statute of limitations period for general negligence claims. Claims arising from auto accidents have a three-year statute of limitations, and those arising from medical negligence have a very strict two-year period. However, the date when the statute of limitations period begins running is not always obvious. This start date can depend on the case itself which makes it all the more important to discuss your case with an experienced attorney to ensure that you do not lose the right to file a lawsuit.
