Denver Catastrophic Injury Lawyers

Cuts and bruises and the occasional accident are a part of life. But sometimes — and fortunately, rarely — catastrophic injury results from an accident.

Whether you were in a car accident, bitten by a dog, hit while riding a bike or fell in a grocery store, you have the right to legal representation if you’ve suffered a catastrophic injury.

All injuries are serious, but the Lamber Goodnow injury law team, working with our partner firms in Colorado know that catastrophic injuries are particularly troublesome. These injuries, which include paralysis or traumatic brain injury, often can leave permanent damage and can upend an entire family. We know how delicate these times can be, and that you need a fierce advocate as you fight for the compensation you deserve.

Understanding Catastrophic Injury

Our legal process has a mechanism for compensating individuals who are injured by another party. So, if you’ve been in a car accident, the liable party is responsible for paying for your medical bills as well as your pain and suffering. The same is true for catastrophic injuries, although these injuries tend to be much more extensive on the body, expensive for the wallet and damaging to a family. And that’s why it’s so important to have an attorney on your side.

Catastrophic injuries include these circumstances:

  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Head injuries, including neck injuries and whiplash
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Paralysis
  • Internal injuries causing organ damage
  • Multiple, debilitating fractures

Part of what makes catastrophic injuries so serious is that the long-term prognosis of the injured individual isn’t always known. Unfortunately, families that initially cope with a head injury claim are later fighting a wrongful death claim. These injuries can escalate and change. Having someone on your side early on helps protect you.

How We Can Help

As your catastrophic injury attorneys, we’ll work on your behalf to get compensation for the accident. We’ll determine which party or parties were liable, and work to secure compensation to cover medical bills as well as pain and suffering. We’ll also try to recover funds for lost wages. And, if the matter escalates into a wrongful death claim, we’ll also work with your family to pursue damages for loss of affection and companionship.

Families turn to the Lamber Goodnow legal team because our track record in cases like this is excellent. We know this is a difficult time on your family, and work to minimize the time you have to spend thinking about and talking about your case. Instead, we want you to focus on what matters — healing, and your family.

FAQs: Catastrophic Injury Attorneys Denver

Q: What does it mean that someone has been involved in a catastrophic accident?

A: A catastrophic accident is one in which the injuries are unavoidable and the injuries are potentially permanent hardships to the plaintiff. Such injuries usually involve vast amounts of medical treatment, life-long pain, and long-term hospitalization and rehabilitation. Many catastrophic injuries include paralysis or major burns.

Some of the most common catastrophic injuries include: accidental amputation, serious head trauma, multiple bone fractures, eye injury, foot injury, back injury, neck injury, brain injury, severe burns, organ damage, spinal cord and neurological disorders, which can result in paralysis, paraplegia, and quadriplegia.

Due to their grave nature, catastrophic injuries often require a lifetime of ongoing medical treatment and personal care, especially if the accident victim is disabled and in need of permanent personal assistance. These types of injuries can be overwhelming to a family and many times result in the need for 24-hour upkeep and support of the victim by hired professionals and family members.

Q: What type of lawsuits may be filed for my catastrophic injury?

A: There are many different ways a person may be catastrophically injured. A dangerous or defective product, a negligent act, medical malpractice, or an intentional act of another may cause a catastrophic injury.

Q: Is there a time limit in which I must file my lawsuit for catastrophic injuries in Colorado?

A: Generally, anyone that has been injured in a catastrophic accident, or a family representative of the injured person, has within three years of the date of the accident to file a lawsuit for injuries or it will be prohibited. Col. Rev. Stat. 13-80-101(n).

However, if the plaintiff is under the age of 18, or is under legal disability at the time of the accident, the statute of limitations is tolled (delayed) until the person reaches 18 or the disability is removed.[1]

It is best to contact a personal injury attorney who has a clear understanding of Colorado law in order to accurately decide the proper statute of limitations for your specific events.

    "My wife and I had occasion to use Mr. Lamber and his staff for a legal matter. The entire staff was wonderful. They kept us informed of every step and communicated quickly and effectively as things changed or progressed. We would highly recommend Mr. Lamber and his staff to anyone needing legal advice or assistance. They had a very high level of integrity and professionalism. It's too bad there are only 5 stars for their rating. They are excellent."

    "I just got rear-ended today, but I'm thankful I found this firm. They take care of you in general, and if you don't make enough to cover your costs, they back you up 100%. Stephanie Ramos gave excellent and kind customer service by getting me in motion with the whole process. Attorney Donn Coolidge gave me the rundown of the situation very clearly, and I'm looking forward to working with him. I fully recommend this firm!"
