Personal injuries are uniquely complicated lawsuits, not because the legal issues may be complex, but because of the emotional and financial complications attached to them. Often, but hopefully not to you, personal injury suits result from serious accidents. These accidents could implicate your ability to work, care for your children and even your entire livelihood. That is a lot of pressure on you and your attorney. That is why experience and demonstrated skill through proven results are critical factors when you look to retain an attorney.

A personal injury can result from a variety of circumstances including, car accidents and slip and falls. A popular example in Boulder is bike riding, if someone darts in front of you and you fall – you may have a claim for personal injury. Before you think that a bicycle accident isn’t that serious, you can suffer brain and spinal injuries. These can cause medical complications far into your future.

This depends upon a variety of factors, and skilled attorneys can walk you through your options, but generally your compensation is limited to the actual harm you incurred.

“Harm” for legal purposes includes more than the physical pain or medical care, it includes everything that happened to you as a result of the injury. For example, you can recover the standard damages like your medical bills and prescription costs. But, if you missed work due to your injury, you can also recover your lost wages for those days. If you were unable to drive, then you can recover taxi expenses.

Experienced attorneys know to think broadly when they define “harm” and what you can recover.
