 | | Practice Areas- Personal Injury-I represent individuals involved in controversies alleging a wrong or damage to another's person, rights, reputation, or property resulting from events or activities such as motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, nursing home negligence and abuse, defective products, wrongful death, infliction of emotional distress, intentional misconduct, and negligence. My firm has particular expertise with cases involving serious personal injuries and brain injuries.
- Motor Vehicle Accidents-Many personal injuries result from motor vehicle accidents involving automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. Motor vehicle accidents may involve negligence on the part of drivers, including drunk driving and reckless behavior. If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, my firm can assist you in receiving compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.
Premises Liability-Injuries suffered on another's property, whether in a home, on a sidewalk, or in a commercial building or shop, are often the result of negligent maintenance or even complete disregard for the safety of others. If you or a family member have been injured in a fall or other accident away from your home, you may have a premises liability claim. Products Liability-I have experience in representing individuals who have been injured as a result of an unsafe product that was designed, manufactured, sold, and/or furnished by a person or company. My firm assists those injured individuals in bringing their claims and being fairly compensated for their injuries. Wrongful Death-If you've lost a loved one in an accident or as the result of a faulty or defective product or piece of equipment, I can represent your interests against the parties at fault and their insurance companies to seek damages on your behalf. Insurance Law-My firm helps injured individuals and their families with insurance claim disputes and coverage and liability issues involving auto, underinsured/uninsured motorists, fire, disability, and homeowners policies.
A Policy Brief
The Jury's Out: Monitoring the Shift from No-Fault to a Tort Auto Insurance System in Colorado Social Security Disability-My firm represents individuals applying for disability and/or supplemental security income benefits or individuals who have already applied for these benefits but have been denied by the Social Security Administration. Appeals may be filed if your claim is denied, or if you disagree with any part of the decision reached by the Social Security Administration. A limited time to appeal the decision is available, and you may forfeit your right to appeal if you neglect to file in a timely fashion. Due to the complex laws and regulations of the Social Security Administration, an experienced representative can be very helpful in advising you regarding your claim. Alternative Dispute Resolution-Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is the process of resolving legal conflicts without going to trial. I am a trained arbitrator and a requested plaintiffs arbitrator in personal injury cases involving motor vehicle accidents, uninsured/underinsured motorists, and wrongful death claims. My firm has extensive expertise in determining when a form of ADR is in the best interest of clients and meets their needs better than traditional litigation. I have substantial experience and training in ADR and routinely advise our clients on the legal consequences flowing from particular terms and conditions of all ADR options.
