Golden Car Accident Attorney

When you are injured in a car accident, you may sustain financial, physical, and psychological losses. Recovering from these economic and non-economic injuries can take months or years. It is unfair to expect you to pay for the losses caused by someone else’s negligence. The Paul Wilkinson Law Firm, LLC is here to help you pursue compensation for these damages. 

Economic Damages for a Golden Car Accident

Car accidents can cause injuries ranging from mild to catastrophic. Even minor injuries like whiplash can cause significant discomfort, loss of mobility, and months of rehabilitation. The economic effects of such injuries can be a heavy burden. Our car accident attorneys in Golden aim to reduce that burden by seeking maximum compensation for damages related to your accident. 

Economic damages we could help you recover include: 

• Healthcare expenses for diagnosing and treating your car crash injuries
• Income you lost because of the car accident
• Diminished future income if your injuries prevent you from returning to work
• Property damage to your vehicle and personal belongings
• Out-of-pocket costs that arise because of your car accident

Non-Economic Damages Following a Vehicle Crash in Golden

At the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm, LLC, we know that economic damages are only part of the losses you suffer due to a car crash. The physical discomfort and emotional toll of a collision can be equally devastating. We work to recover the full scope of your losses and make you whole again. That means also securing monetary compensation for the non-economic distress you suffered. Examples of these non-economic damages include: 

• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Mental anguish
• Diminished quality of life
• Loss of enjoyment

We understand that the losses you sustain in a car crash are unique and deeply personal. Our legal team is here to help you get results that makes a real difference. 

Pursuing a Wrongful Death Claim After a Fatal Car Collision

If you lost a loved one in a motor vehicle collision, we extend our condolences for your loss. We know a financial settlement can never make up for the loss of someone you care about. 

Our wrongful death attorneys can guide you through the legal and financial challenges that arise after a family member’s unexpected passing. We are here to help you seek justice for your loved one, as well as compensation for burial expenses, funeral costs, and other damages.

Whether you are filing an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit after a car crash in Golden, you must show that:

• Someone else’s negligent actions resulted in an auto collision. 
• You were injured in the resulting motor vehicle crash.
• You sustained economic or non-economic losses because of the car accident.

Once we establish who is responsible for your injuries, we can build and file a claim for damages. 

Gathering Compelling Evidence

When preparing your claim, we investigate the accident and gather evidence to support your case, including:

• Police accident reports from the Golden Police Department or other law enforcement agencies
• Photos and videos of the accident scene
• Witness statements
• Testimony from accident reconstructionists and other experts

Building a Case for Damages

In addition to showing how the accident occurred, we compile medical records, expert medical testimony, financial statements, and other documentation to show how the accident affected you financially, physically, and psychologically. We will use this evidence to substantiate your claim for economic and non-economic damages. Our goal is to ensure you receive full compensation to become whole again.

Negotiating With Insurance Companies

We are experienced negotiators dedicated to securing justice and fair compensation for your losses. With our extensive knowledge of insurance companies and their tactics, we can skillfully bargain with insurers to achieve a desirable outcome. If we cannot reach an appropriate settlement agreement, we will not hesitate to take your case to trial. 

Filing a Lawsuit Within the Statute of Limitations

Our car accident attorneys know how to advocate for your rights inside and outside the courtroom. We prepare your case for trial from the outset, so we are always ready to go to trial, if needed. Based on the details of your car accident, we will file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party and their insurer within Colorado’s statute of limitations.

Although many cases settle out of court, filing a lawsuit lets the insurers know you are serious about securing a fair outcome. It also ensures you file within the appropriate deadlines, so you don’t lose the chance to recover compensation. 

Although the statute of limitations is typically three years for a personal injury claim, the deadline may be sooner. Contact the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm, LLC as soon as possible after the accident to avoid missing important deadlines.
