Littleton Car Accident Attorney

Whether you have suffered a catastrophic injury or multiple injuries, you are likely dealing with an overwhelming amount of stress. Car accident injuries can include fractures, lacerations, burns, spinal cord injuries, internal organ damage, and concussions and other traumatic brain injuries. Physical pain may have you reeling as you also try to figure out your financial future after medical expenses and lost income.

Our Littleton car crash attorneys can seek fair compensation for your accident, including recovering your economic and non-economic losses.

Recoverable Economic Losses After a Car Accident

You may be entitled to compensation for financial losses, such as:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Reduced earning capacity
• Loss of job benefits
• Home modifications
• Mobility devices
• Other expenses, such as mileage to and from medical appointments

Recovering Non-economic Losses After a Littleton Car Accident

You also deserve to recover compensation for losses that cause physical and emotional pain rather than financial damage. These include:

• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and mental trauma
• Loss of quality of life
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of consortium

Compensation for Wrongful Death in a Car Accident

If you lost a loved one in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence, you may be able to recover financial compensation for this tragic event. Our Littleton wrongful death attorneys can help you seek compensation for:

• Burial or cremation expenses
• Funeral expenses
• Loss of companionship
• Loss of your loved one’s financial support
• Your loved one’s emergency or end-of-life medical expenses

Many things can cause car accidents, but negligence is often a factor. Negligence occurs when someone’s irresponsible or reckless behavior results in an accident. Examples of negligence in car accidents include:

• Driving while drunk or under the influence of drugs
• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Failing to follow posted traffic signs
• Failing to maintain safe road conditions

Some possibly negligent parties could be:

• Other drivers
• Government entities in charge of road maintenance
• Companies who are vicariously liable if one of their employees is involved in an accident

How Does a Littleton Car Accident Attorney Prove Negligence?

To pursue compensation, your lawyer must be able to prove that another party caused your accident. To do that, we must demonstrate that the four elements of negligence have been met. These elements are:

• The other party owed you a duty of care. “Duty of care” is the legal term for the responsibility a person has to keep those around them safe.
• The other party breached their duty of care by acting in a way that endangered others.
• This breach directly led to your accident.
• The accident directly led to the losses that you suffered.

Our Littleton attorneys prove these elements through a meticulous investigation process, which may include:

• Interviewing any witnesses to the event
• Obtaining video and photographic evidence, such as from traffic cameras or business security cameras
• Reviewing documents, such as police reports and driving records
• Analyzing physical evidence, such as skid marks or debris patterns
• Utilizing third-party experts, such as an accident reconstructionist

It’s vital to note that some aspects of the investigation may be time-sensitive. For example, the possibility of recovering photographs of skid marks or surveillance footage may become slimmer the longer that evidence remains uncollected.
