Accidents that result in injuries are physically, emotionally, and financially disruptive. When someone else’s conduct contributed to the incident, you may be able to hold them legally and financially accountable.
A knowledgeable attorney could safeguard your rights and help ensure you obtain compensation that reflects the harm you suffered. Contact Rosenthal Injury Law to speak with an experienced Boulder personal injury lawyer about your accident. Led by attorney Jeremy Rosenthal, our firm takes a hands-on approach to every case, working closely with our clients and fighting for the compensation they need to recover.
When you are injured in an accident, and another party bears at least some responsibility, you have grounds for a personal injury claim. A Boulder attorney could compile and present the evidence necessary to prove your personal injury claim and establish your right to compensation.
You must prove another party was negligent to claim compensation, but the standard that determines negligence varies depending on the circumstances. For example, a driver is negligent when they fail to use reasonable care, but a truck driver must use the utmost care to avoid harming others, and a medical professional must use the same degree of knowledge and skill as other similarly credentialed healthcare providers practicing in the area. Our legal professionals could determine what standard applies in your situation and work tirelessly to prove negligence.
When you hire us to handle your case, we immediately begin investigating the accident and compiling evidence of fault. When your medical team is confident of your long-term prognosis—whether that is a full recovery or some permanent disability or impairment—we calculate your financial losses, or damages. We then approach the responsible parties with your claim, and negotiations begin.
A negligent party is responsible for compensating your losses by paying financial damages. The amount of damages is sometimes restricted by law, and the amount of insurance coverage available can limit the damages you collect. In addition, you are entitled to reduced damages if you bear some responsibility for the accident.
Our Boulder attorneys are committed to maximizing your personal injury damages. That means:
We focus on protecting your right to fair compensation at every stage of your case.
Your actual costs associated with the accident and injury are your economic damages. You can claim economic damages to recover the cost of medical treatment, lost wages, and incidental expenses. You can prove your economic damages through receipts, invoices, tax records, and similar documentation.
Injuries impact your quality of life, and non-economic damages compensate you for the ways the accident has affected your daily life. You can claim non-economic damages for the physical pain of your injuries, the psychological distress you suffered and continue to suffer, the effects of any disability, and your diminished enjoyment of life.
Colorado Revised Statutes § 13-21-102.5 limits the amount of non-economic damages you can receive to $1.5 million in most cases. When an accident causes permanent impairment, a jury may award separate damages for it, with no cap.
Exemplary damages punish a responsible party for especially egregious conduct. They are rarely awarded in personal injury cases because an injured person must meet a high burden of proof to be entitled to them. When a plaintiff receives exemplary damages, the amount is usually equal to the total of their economic and non-economic damages.
