Why Former Government Experience Matters for Your Injury Case

Insurance companies deploy teams of lawyers who've spent careers defending negligent parties. As a Former Assistant Attorney General, Elliot Singer knows their playbook—he wrote parts of it. This unique perspective translates directly into higher settlements for our Denver clients, particularly in complex cases involving government entities, commercial vehicles, or catastrophic injuries.

While other firms learn through trial and error, we leverage decades of high-stakes litigation experience from day one. Our approach combines prosecutorial discipline with aggressive advocacy, preparing every case as if it will go before a jury—because insurance companies know we're not afraid to take them to trial.

What Makes Our Approach Different

• Early Evidence Preservation: We gather scene photos, 911 calls, camera footage, black-box data, and witness statements before they disappear.
• Medical Documentation That Tells Your Story: We coordinate with treating providers to ensure your injuries, restrictions, and prognosis are thoroughly recorded.
• Economic Loss Modeling: We calculate lost wages, overtime, benefits, and future earning capacity using accepted methodologies.
• Liability Strategy: From roadway design to premises safety standards, we identify all at-fault parties and applicable insurance layers.
• Settlement Leverage: When insurers undervalue a claim, we escalate with litigation-ready demand packages and filing strategy.
• No-Fee Guarantee: You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

Common Denver Personal Injury Cases We Handle

We represent clients in a wide range of cases throughout Denver and the surrounding communities. Medical treatment often begins at the Anschutz Medical Campus where our Aurora personal injury lawyers maintain relationships with Level I trauma staff, ensuring comprehensive documentation of catastrophic injuries from the start.

• Motorcycle accidents and lane-change impacts in urban traffic

• Pedestrian injuries in crosswalks and parking facilities, particularly at regional shopping centers like the Streets at SouthGlenn where our Centennial injury attorneys handle complex premises liability cases involving national retailers
• Slip and fall claims caused by unsafe premises and code violations
• Dog bites and animal attacks
• Brain and spinal injuries with long-term rehabilitation needs, often requiring transfers to specialized facilities like Craig Hospital where our Englewood personal injury team coordinates with rehabilitation specialists

How Personal Injury Claims Work in Colorado

While every case is unique, most Denver personal injury claims follow these phases:

1. Free consultation: We review facts, injuries, and insurance to map the best path forward.
2. Investigation: We secure evidence, liability proof, and identify all responsible parties.
3. Treatment and documentation: You follow your medical plan; we compile records and expert opinions.
4. Demand and negotiation: We present a full-value demand supported by law and evidence.
5. Litigation if needed: If an insurer lowballs, we file suit and prepare for trial.

Statute of Limitations and Key Deadlines

• Most injury claims: 2 years from the date of injury.
• Auto collisions: 3 years from the date of crash.
• Claims against government entities: shorter notice and filing requirements may apply.

Deadlines can be nuanced. Speak with a Denver personal injury lawyer as early as possible to avoid losing your rights.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Colorado law allows recovery for both economic and non-economic losses. Depending on the facts, you may be entitled to:

• Emergency care, surgery, physical therapy, and future medical costs
• Lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and vocational retraining
• Pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress
• Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses
• Wrongful death damages for eligible family members

Comparative Negligence in Colorado

Under Colorado’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. We build the evidence to minimize any alleged fault and protect your recovery.

Building a Strong Claim: Evidence We Prioritize

• Accident reports, incident logs, and OSHA/premises safety records
• Video footage from traffic, dash, body, or surveillance cameras
• Vehicle black-box and telematics data
• Witness statements and field interviews
• Medical imaging, specialist evaluations, and prognosis letters
• Pay records, HR documentation, and economist analyses

After an Accident: Practical Steps

1. Get medical attention and follow your treatment plan.
2. Report the incident and request copies of any reports.
3. Document the scene, injuries, and damaged property.
4. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers without counsel.
5. Contact a Denver accident lawyer early to protect your case.
