Thornton Personal Injury 
Lawyers

Personal injuries often occur unexpectedly due to someone else’s negligent or reckless actions. It can be difficult for you, as the injured party who was caught in the middle of the accident, to remember or figure out how your injuries happened and who was responsible for them. It can also be tough to determine how to approach the responsible party for damages.

Our personal injury lawyers in Thornton can decipher the details for you and provide counsel on how to proceed. With a quick phone call, we provide clarity regarding your situation and can assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

We offer our legal services to injury victims involved in all types of accidents. Our law firm includes:

• Thornton car accident lawyers. Per the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), nearly 700 motor vehicle accidents in Thornton resulted in a possible, suspected, or fatal injury in 2022.

• Thornton pedestrian accident lawyers. CDOT also states that 19 pedestrians were involved in traffic crashes in Thornton that same year.

• Thornton truck accident lawyers. Trucks are much larger than other vehicles and can do a lot more damage in a collision.

• Thornton motorcycle accident lawyers. By contrast, motorcycles are smaller than other vehicles and offer minimal protection in the event of a traffic accident.

• Thornton bicycle accident lawyers. Thornton saw 13 bicycle accidents in 2022, per CDOT. Like with motorcycles, it is easy for inattentive drivers to miss seeing an approaching bike and cause a devastating crash.

• Thornton drunk driving accident lawyers. Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is illegal under Co. Rev. Stat. § 42-4-1301.

• Thornton texting while driving accident lawyers. Even a moment’s inattention can be enough to cause catastrophic injuries.

• Thornton wrongful death lawyers. If you lost a loved one, please accept our condolences for your loss. Our legal team can file a wrongful death claim on your behalf.

Contact The Paul Wilkinson Law Firm, LLC, so we can learn more about your case. That will allow us to decide the best way to move forward.

To recover a fair settlement, you must first identify who caused your accident and what specific act of negligence led to your injuries. This can be a daunting task, which is why hiring legal representation from our law firm can make it much easier for you to take action following an accident.

Liable parties may include but are not limited to:

• Drivers. Our Thornton attorneys have seen all too many motor vehicle crashes that could have been prevented if the other driver had obeyed the law, including speed limits and traffic signs.
• Manufacturers. Defective products—including faulty brakes, tires, or steering columns—can cause even the most cautious drivers to lose control.
• Local government agencies. The Streets Division of Thornton’s Public Works Department is responsible for removing potential hazards, including snow, from city roads. Failure to do so could make them a target in our legal team’s claim.
• Employers. If a business employs others to drive for them (e.g., delivery companies or trucking companies), they must make sure the vehicles are maintained and the drivers are qualified and competent.
• Mechanics. It is their job to perform routine maintenance, thoroughly investigate potential problems, and repair whatever issues they find.

The Paul Wilkinson Law Firm, LLC, is willing to take on any liable party, large or small. We’ll hold any and all negligent individuals and organizations responsible to the fullest extent of the law.

How to Identify the Responsible Party in Your Personal Injury Claim

Even if you are completely sure you know who the liable party is, you will need convincing evidence to prove it. You can start collecting this evidence even before you leave the accident scene by:

• Getting the other driver’s name, license, registration, and insurance information
• Taking photos of the scene, your injuries, and the damage to your vehicle
• Calling 911 and filing a report with the Thornton Police Department

Our Thornton lawyers can compile even more evidence, including company records, prior complaints or legal filings against the responsible party, black box data, and eyewitness and expert testimony.

No matter how long your case takes, The Paul Wilkinson Law Firm, LLC, can stand by your side and support your family through this difficult time. We can pursue the maximum compensation you are entitled to. That way, you can start rebuilding your life without worrying about how you will afford medical care and support your loved ones.
