Types of Colorado Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Baker Law Group, PLLC has extensive experience handling a wide range of personal injury cases throughout Colorado. Our goal is to ensure that our clients receive fair compensation for their injuries and losses. Some of the most common types of personal injury cases we handle include:

• Car Accidents: Colorado sees thousands of car accidents each year, many of which result in serious injuries. Whether it’s a rear-end collision, a T-bone accident, or a multi-car pileup, our attorneys will work to prove liability and secure compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road, and accidents can result in catastrophic injuries. Our team is experienced in handling the unique challenges associated with motorcycle accident claims.
• Truck Accidents: Accidents involving commercial trucks can be especially devastating due to the size and weight of the vehicles. We have the expertise to handle complex truck accident cases, including those involving multiple parties and insurance companies.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Property owners in Colorado have a duty to maintain safe premises. If you’ve been injured due to a slip and fall caused by hazardous conditions, we can help you pursue a premises liability claim.
• Medical Malpractice: Medical professionals are expected to provide a standard level of care. If you’ve been harmed due to medical negligence, our attorneys will fight to hold the responsible parties accountable.
• Product Liability: If a defective product has caused you injury, whether it’s a faulty vehicle, a dangerous drug, or a defective household item, Baker Law Group, PLLC can help you seek compensation from the manufacturer or distributor.
• Wrongful Death: Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is one of the most difficult experiences a family can endure. Our attorneys are here to provide compassionate support and aggressive representation in wrongful death claims.
• Workplace Injuries: If you’ve been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. However, if a third party’s negligence contributed to your injury, you may also have a personal injury claim.

Colorado’s Comparative Negligence Law

One important aspect of Colorado personal injury law is the state’s comparative negligence rule. Under this rule, if you are partially at fault for your injury, your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of your fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for a car accident, your compensation would be reduced by 20%. However, if you are found to be 50% or more at fault, you may be barred from recovering any compensation.

At Baker Law Group, PLLC, we understand the intricacies of Colorado’s comparative negligence laws and how they can impact your case. Our civil litigation attorneys work diligently to minimize your level of fault and maximize your compensation.

The Statute of Limitations in Colorado Personal Injury Cases

In Colorado, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury. This means you have two years to file a lawsuit, or you may lose your right to seek compensation. However, certain types of cases, such as those involving car accidents, have a three-year statute of limitations.

It’s crucial to act quickly after an injury to ensure your case is filed within the appropriate timeframe. At Baker Law Group, PLLC, we will guide you through the process and ensure that all necessary deadlines are met.

Proving Negligence in Colorado Personal Injury Cases

To succeed in a personal injury claim in Colorado, you must prove that the defendant was negligent. This typically involves demonstrating the following elements:

1. Duty of Care: The defendant owed you a duty of care. For example, drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles safely, and property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises.
2. Breach of Duty: The defendant breached their duty of care through their actions or inactions. This could involve running a red light, failing to clean up a spill, or making a medical error.
3. Causation: The defendant’s breach of duty directly caused your injury. You must show that your injury would not have occurred if not for the defendant’s actions.
4. Damages: You suffered damages as a result of your injury. This can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Our experienced attorneys at Baker Law Group, PLLC will thoroughly investigate your case, gather evidence, and build a strong argument to prove negligence and secure the compensation you deserve.
