At The Gold Law Firm, our Byers personal injury attorneys work diligently for all our injured clients to assure that they receive the money they need to fully recover and put their lives back together again.

Types of Personal Injury Cases

More than half of all personal injury lawsuits are the result of an automobile accident. Other cases involve injuries resulting from medical malpractice, injuries resulting from product liability, and injuries resulting from a broad category known as "other."

Included in "other" are construction accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, and injuries due to an assault. Most of those who file a personal injury lawsuit have suffered moderate to severe injury. These injuries may have even altered the life of the injured person as well as those around them. There are many types of damages that can occur in personal injury cases that can justify compensation from the negligent party; however, such cases can be complex, requiring the assistance of an experienced Colorado personal injury attorney.

What to Expect in a Personal Injury Lawsuit

One extremely important thing to remember is that you should always refrain from discussing the details of your accident with anyone other than your very closest family members and your attorney. Even the most innocent comment can be misinterpreted, and posting facts about your accident on social media should always be avoided.

Nearly 95 percent of all pending personal injury cases will resolve through a pre-trial settlement. This leaves a small percentage of personal injury cases that actually end up in a courtroom. Some of the reasons pre-trial settlements occur so often include the fact that while a settlement is private, a lawsuit and its results are not; a settlement is a guaranteed win; you have more control over a settlement (and are likely to incur fewer legal costs); and settlements avoid lengthy trials and potential appeals.

It is also important to remember that a personal injury lawsuit could take as long as a year to make it to trial. The trial will consist of jury selection, opening statements, witness testimony, cross-examination, closing arguments, jury instructions, jury deliberation, and a final verdict. Injury victims may be able to receive compensation more quickly by negotiating a settlement. However, when a reasonable settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are not afraid to take a case to trial and fight to ensure that our clients will be fully compensated.
