Brush Personal Injury Attorney

Brush Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Colorado

The wrongful actions of one person that result in injury to another person are the basis of a personal injury claim. The National Center for Health Statistics regularly reports on this issue, and it has found that more than 35 million people receive emergency treatment for accidental injuries each year across the United States. Obviously, not all of these injuries will result in a personal injury claim; however, those, that involve negligence very well could.

Understanding the Term "Negligence"

One requirement of a personal injury lawsuit is evidence of negligence on the part of the defendant. People are expected to behave in a manner that conforms to accepted standards of conduct. When they fail to do what another reasonable person would have done under the same set of circumstances, negligence may have occurred. Under the law, there are certain elements that must be proven in order to show negligence was involved in your accident. These include that a duty of care was owed by the defendant and was breached, that the breach resulted in harm to you, that the harm was foreseeable, and that your injuries were directly tied to the defendant's breach of their duty of care.

Damages You May Expect From Your Personal Injury Case

Most people who are considering a Brush personal injury case wonder what types of damages are possible. Compensation for a personal injury will almost certainly include medical expenses. Such expenses can encompass prescription drugs, hospital and physician expenses, surgical costs, and therapy and rehabilitation. If you were required to take time off from work, you could be entitled to compensation for lost wages, and if you may never be able to work again or are unable to return to your former career, you could be entitled to compensation for future wages—known as earning capacity. If you suffered a disfigurement or disability, you may be entitled to compensation to address these issues, or, depending on the specific circumstances of your accident, you may be able to receive compensation for property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress related to your accident, as well as damages associated with loss of consortium.

Should You Hire a Brush Personal Injury Attorney?

Some of those injured through the negligence of another may decide to handle their personal injury case on their own. In reality, most people are totally unfamiliar with the American legal system, and therefore, they are totally unprepared for the mountains of paperwork required and the series of deadlines to meet. Our Brush personal injury attorneys are very familiar with the statutes of limitations that apply in your case, and we have experience issuing subpoenas, dealing with insurance companies, and gathering evidence. Allowing your attorney to deal with all these issues and more can give you the time and resources you need to heal following your accident.
