Affording a Personal Injury Attorney

After an accident, financial burdens can quickly become overwhelming. At The Paul Wilkinson Law Firm, LLC, our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency-fee basis to allow everyone to access legal representation.

With contingency fees, you only pay us if we recover compensation. There are no upfront costs to you. Instead, our agreed-upon fees are deducted from your settlement.

Whether you need emergency medical care or are out of work while recovering, the financial costs of an accident can be life-altering. In addition to economic losses, you are also likely to deal with physical pain and emotional trauma. Our lawyers can seek fair compensation that accounts for all your losses.

You may be able to recover compensation for:

Economic Losses

You deserve economic damages that compensate you for all of the money you lost or will lose because of the accident, including:

• Medical Expenses (Past, Present, and Future): Surgeries, doctor appointments, diagnostic testing, medication, physical therapy, long-term nursing care, and more.
• Job Losses: Lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and loss of job-based benefits (PTO, bonuses, etc.).
• Property Damage: Such as the replacement or repair of your bike and gear.
• Other Expenses: These could include mobility devices (such as a wheelchair) or home modifications needed to accommodate a disability.

Non-economic Losses

These are the physical and emotional effects of your bike crash. They include:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of consortium
• Lowered quality of life
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Wrongful Death

If a loved one lost their life due to a bicycle accident in Arvada, we are so sorry for your loss. You may be able to pursue financial compensation from the responsible party. Compensation could include:

• Emergency medical bills
• Loss of financial support
• Loss of companionship
• Funeral expenses
• Cremation or burial expenses

To retain your right to compensation, we must move quickly because of Colorado’s statute of limitations. For personal injury lawsuits involving motor vehicles, you typically must file within three years, per CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-101. Some exceptions may apply, so it’s best to discuss this timeline with your attorney.

Another state law to pay attention to is modified comparative negligence. Under this negligence system, you can recover compensation even if you are partly responsible for the crash, as long as your share of liability does not exceed 49 percent. 

Our legal team can explain more about these and other laws that could affect your case.
