Bike accidents can leave you reeling. You may be struggling through the pain of injuries while also dealing with the stress of unexpected financial burdens like medical bills and lost wages. This is especially true if you suffered catastrophic injuries that require a lengthy recovery period and expensive treatment from a facility like HCA HealthONE Mountain Ridge’s trauma center.

Our legal team can manage your injury claim so you can put your focus on healing. We can:

• Handle paperwork and communications
• Investigate and gather evidence to support your claim
• Negotiate with the insurance company
• Answer your questions and keep you updated on the status of your case
• Represent you in the appropriate district or county court if needed

At The Paul Wilkinson Law Firm, LLC, several of our attorneys previously worked for insurance companies, so we know the tactics they use to try to underpay or deny your claim. We can fight against these methods to preserve your legal right to compensation.

We believe in getting you justice and want to secure the fair compensation that will help you heal after an accident.

Bike accident injuries can be severe and may include:

• Fractures
• Lacerations
• Spinal cord injuries
• Head trauma
• Internal organ damage

These injuries may lead to lifelong impacts, such as disability, so it’s essential to recover compensation that accounts for all your losses in the present as well as those you can expect in the future. Our personal injury lawyers will listen to your story and may consult medical experts about your condition. This way, we can fight for the maximum compensation allowed for your case.

You may be eligible to recover compensation for losses like:

• Medical Expenses: Including doctor appointments, surgeries, physical therapy, and prescription medications.
• Lost Wages: For missed time while recovering. You may also be able to recover compensation for the loss of job benefits during this time, such as PTO.
• Diminished Earning Capacity: If you are unable to return to the same level at work and have a resulting loss in salary.
• Property Damage: Such as the repair or replacement of your bike and helmet.
• Home Modifications: If you need to make changes to your home because of a new disability.
• Pain and Suffering: Both the physical pain of your injuries as well as the emotional distress they cause.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If an injury restricts you from taking part in things you once enjoyed, such as a sport or hobby.

In addition to these losses, our wrongful death attorneys could help you pursue wrongful death damages if a loved one lost their life due to a bicycle accident.

In personal injury claims, you must prove that the other party was negligent. Negligence can include actions like:

• Driving while drunk
• Speeding
• Driving while texting or talking on the phone
• Failing to stop at a crosswalk

The Paul Wilkinson Law Firm, LLC, can prove negligence through careful investigation into the accident. We may:

• Interview witnesses
• Obtain surveillance footage, such as from traffic cameras or nearby businesses
• Review official documents related to the accident, such as reports from the Thornton Police Department and driving records
• Consult with experts, such as accident reconstructionists

In Colorado, a comparative negligence rule means that you are unable to recover compensation if you are 50 percent or more at fault. Insurance companies may try to use this rule to lower their settlements, making it even more vital to prove the negligence of the other party. Our attorneys can support you against any and all unjust accusations.
