“Stephanie was my attorney and she was very pleasant to work with. She made sure to explain what I should be expecting throughout the process and I always understood what was going on with my case. She made sure that I got the treatment I needed, which was my ultimate goal. While I sincerely hope I never need her services again, if I do, I would go back to the Babcock Law Firm. Thanks for everything Stephanie and Jan!”
What is Personal Injury Law?
In the state of Colorado, personal injury law covers any civil case in which someone’s negligence or unsafe actions cause injury or death. Most personal injury cases must be filed within two years of the incident. The statute of limitations for auto accident cases is three years.
A personal injury lawyer is an attorney who you appoint to legally represent you in matters involving an injury – physical, psychological or financially – as the result of negligence committed by another person, company, government entity or other third-party.
In a Colorado personal injury lawsuit, you may be able to recover compensation for two different types of damages:
- Economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, lost future earnings, etc.)
- Non-economic damages (pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment, emotional distress, etc.)
