Denver Catastrophic Injuries Lawyer

Denver Catastrophic Injuries Attorney Serving Colorado

Injuries can occur in a wide variety of situations, and they can range from relatively minor issues to severe bodily harm. Some injuries can be especially harmful, and they can result in chronic medical conditions, permanent disabilities, ongoing psychological trauma, and other issues that may have a significant impact on a person's quality of life, their relationships with others, their ability to continue working, and nearly every other aspect of their life. Those who have suffered catastrophic injuries because of someone else's negligence will need to work with a personal injury lawyer to determine how to proceed as they pursue financial compensation.

At The Gold Law Firm, we understand the difficulties that a person and their family can face as they work to recover from a serious injury. The costs of medical treatment alone can be overwhelming in many cases, and bills for emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgery, medications, ongoing care from multiple doctors, physical therapy, and rehabilitation can add up to a staggering amount. To make matters even worse, a person may be unable to return to work while they are recovering from an injury, or they may suffer from permanent disabilities that limit their ability to earn enough income to support themselves and their family. Our attorneys can provide effective legal representation for injury victims, ensuring that they will be able to receive financial compensation that will address these issues and all of the other ways they have been affected.

Pursuing Compensation for Severe Injuries

When a person suffers a catastrophic injury, the people or parties who were responsible may be required to pay compensation that addresses the victim's damages. These may include economic damages such as medical expenses and lost income, as well as non-economic damages that address pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and a diminished quality of life. Our lawyers can provide representation in cases involving multiple types of severe injuries, including:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries - A blow to the head or other injuries that cause damage to the brain can affect a person in multiple ways, and they may lead to cognitive impairments, memory loss, mood disorders, seizures, balance and coordination issues, or chronic headaches.
• Spinal Cord Injuries - Damage to the vertebrae in the spine may result in a compressed or severed spinal cord or other types of damage to important nerves. These injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis, and they are usually irreversible.
• Broken Bones - Fractures can vary in severity, but even relatively minor injuries may take months to heal and limit the types of work and activities a person can perform. In more serious cases involving crushed or shattered bones or compound fractures, surgery may be required to repair the damage, other tissues surrounding a broken bone may be damaged, and a person may never fully regain function in the parts of the body where the fracture occurred.
• Burn Injuries - Severe burns may occur due to fires, electrocutions, or chemical spills. Depending on the degree of a burn, a person may experience severe pain, skin grafts or other types of surgery may be needed, and permanent scarring and disfigurement may occur.
• Amputations - The loss of a limb can result in permanent impairments and disabilities, and extensive medical treatment, physical therapy, and occupational therapy may be needed. A victim may also need to pay for expensive prosthetics, assistive devices, and home modifications.
• Whiplash Injuries - The force of an impact on a person's body may cause their head to snap backward, forward, or to the side, resulting in damage to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves in the neck and shoulders. This can result in a variety of symptoms, including numbness, tingling, loss of range of motion, chronic headaches, tinnitus, and sleep disorders.
