Lakewood Personal Injury Attorney

Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?

You may have the right to recover compensation for your damages if you were injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault. During your free initial consultation, we can review your circumstances and advise whether you have a strong case.

Our team at Justice Now Injury Lawyers may be able to represent you if you suffered injuries in any of the following types of accidents:

• Bicycle accidents
• Car accidents
• Construction accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• Uber and Lyft accidents

Additionally, we can represent families in wrongful death cases. You may be able to pursue justice and accountability if you lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or carelessness. 

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Colorado?

In Colorado, you typically have three years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury claim that involves a motor vehicle collision. For personal injury claims that do not involve a motor vehicle, you usually only have two years from the date you were injured. For wrongful death cases, eligible family members generally have two years from the date their loved one passed away to start the legal process. 

Missing the relevant deadline means you forfeit your right to pursue compensation, regardless of how strong your claim may be. The sooner you get in touch with our team at Justice Now Injury Lawyers, the sooner we can start working to preserve evidence, protecting you from insurance companies, and building the strongest possible case.

Types of Compensation Available in Personal Injury Cases

When you suffer injuries because of another party’s negligence, the law allows you to seek both economic and non-economic damages. The goal of these damages is to "make you whole" by providing financial recovery for all the losses you have incurred.

Economic damages cover your direct, quantifiable financial losses. We can calculate these losses with relative certainty using bills, receipts, pay stubs, and expert projections.

Our personal injury attorney can work to secure all economic damages, which may include:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Lost earning potential
• Property damage

Non-economic damages compensate you for the intangible but very real impacts your injuries have had on your life. These are losses that do not come with a bill or receipt. Colorado does place statutory caps on non-economic damages, but we can work to maximize what you recover within the limits of the law.

We can work to secure maximum compensation for all non-economic losses, including:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life

In some rare cases, we may also be able to pursue punitive damages. Unlike economic and non-economic damages, which compensate the victim, punitive damages are designed to punish the defendant for conduct that is especially egregious.

We are prepared to fight for every dollar you are entitled to under the law. If you think you may have a personal injury case, call (720) 802-1466 or contact us online now.
