You Were Injured
Slip-and-falls can cause serious injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Hip fractures
- Sprained ankles and wrists
- Broken bones
- Injuries to tendons, ligaments, and muscles
These injuries can require extensive medical treatment. If you are dealing with painful injuries, you may be unable to do everything a slip and fall claim entails, such as filing paperwork, managing case deadlines, gathering critical evidence, and negotiating for fair compensation. If you suffered a head injury, an experienced brain injury attorney in Boulder will be able to handle these tasks while you focus on your recovery.
You Lost Time From Work
You may be able to resolve your case by filing a claim with the property owner’s insurance company. However, many slip-and-fall victims do not understand the full nature and extent of their injuries. They may not consider how their injuries may impact their future earning capacity. You may be able to recover financial compensation for:
- Past, current and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Damaged personal property
- Pain and suffering
- Lost quality of life
- Impairments and disabilities
An attorney can help protect your right to recover fair compensation. We can accurately value the short- and long-term losses your injuries have caused and negotiate for maximum compensation with the insurance company. If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we can file a case in court.
The Cause Of The Accident Is Unclear
Sometimes, it may be unclear how the accident occurred, so convincing the insurance company to pay on a claim can be difficult. An experienced attorney can investigate what happened and collect evidence to support your claim, such as:
- Accident reports
- Video surveillance
- Photos of the accident scene
- Witness statements
- Business records
- Employment records
- Inspection records
We will look for evidence that shows a dangerous condition on the property contributed to your accident, and the owner knew about or should have known about it but failed to take corrective action.
The Statute Of Limitations Is Approaching
While many slip-and-fall cases can be resolved through insurance claims, filing a lawsuit in some situations may be necessary. In Colorado, you only have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you don’t file within this timeline, you can lose your chance to recover compensation. An experienced attorney can help take timely action on your case so you don’t forfeit your legal rights.
