Personal Injury and Personal Commitment
Colorado is an “at-fault” state. Insurance companies require you to prove the other driver was at fault in the accident before awarding damages. If you’ve suffered injuries or property damage, you must submit proof of the harm for an insurance settlement.
Smith & Weidinger personal injury lawyers know how to prepare your personal injury claim for maximum compensation. Many claims are delayed or denied due to insufficient documentation. We help you collect the information you need for your claim, so it is accepted the first time without being returned or denied. When you seek financial compensation, you can request:
Economic Damages
These include your medical expenses, doctor’s bills, medication, and any future expenses. Smith & Weidinger’s legal strategy includes obtaining expert witness testimony showing that severe injuries may need long-term care.
Economic damages also include lost wages due to time away from work for recovery. If your doctor believes you need more time to recover, your lost wages should cover any additional time off work, loss of income, or lost employment opportunities.
Non-economic Damages
Colorado law allows you to claim compensation for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other non-tangible harm as part of your compensation. If you’ve been injured, the emotional recovery is as much a part of your recovery as healing your bones and organs.
Smith & Weidinger’s focus on personal injury means our clients get the full benefit of our experience. We have been fighting for the most favorable outcome for our clients in Colorado for decades, and we want you to get the best settlement possible.
The legal team that manages your case will use all legal options available to get fair compensation for your claim.
Personal Injury Claims
The Englewood personal injury lawyers of Smith & Weidinger have experience in all types of personal injury lawsuits. The most common personal injury cases are motor vehicle claims, but our attorneys can help you with nearly any type of injury caused by negligence or carelessness.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
After a motor vehicle accident, you may face serious or life-altering injuries. Accident victims can experience symptoms weeks or even months after the accident. It’s important to have your injuries evaluated by a doctor even if you feel okay after the accident. Motor vehicle accidents include:
- Car Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Commercial Truck Accidents
- Bus Accidents
Bicycle Accidents and Pedestrian Accidents
Bikes and pedestrians are at a disadvantage when they encounter careless or drunk drivers. They’re smaller, hard to see, and have no protection against thousands of pounds of metal. Smith & Weidinger are active in the Englewood area to promote pedestrian safety, bicycle awareness, and personal injury support.
Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare companies have liability insurance for their drivers, but proving who the negligent parties were in a rideshare accident can be tricky. The personal injury attorneys at Smith & Weidinger know the requirements for rideshare actions and will help you untangle the rules for rideshare claims.
Dog Bites
Everyone insists their dogs are good dogs. Owners are responsible for keeping vicious or dangerous dogs leashed or restrained. If you or a family member got injured because someone could not control their dog, you deserve compensation for their negligent actions.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Catastrophic injuries arise from every kind of accident. Spinal cord injuries, head trauma, and major organ failure can all happen after even a seemingly minor fall. When someone else’s negligence results in a broken back or other life-altering injury, you need a personal injury law firm that understands it wasn’t “just a slip” that caused your injury.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death accidents devastate the survivors. Families of wrongful death victims can sue on behalf of their loved ones following medical malpractice or other accidents. We are here to ensure you get full compensation for their injuries and suffering.
Making Your Claim
The experienced attorneys at Smith & Weidinger evaluate each claim carefully to ensure you have a valid personal injury claim. If we think you can handle your case alone, we will give you our honest legal opinion. If your case needs our help, we will investigate and prepare it as if we need to take it to trial.
We gather all the evidence needed to make your claim. We’ll pull together the medical reports, doctor’s notes, police statements, and other documents requested by the insurance company. We prepare the demand letter and let the insurers know we’re prepared to negotiate on your behalf.
Litigation is a time-consuming process. When possible, we would rather negotiate a settlement than go to trial. But if necessary, we are always ready to head to court and fight for your legal rights to get you the fair compensation you deserve for your accident.
