Understanding the Grounds for a Personal Injury Case in Westminster, CO
Personal injuries often lead to steep medical bills, extensive time off work, and a long road to recovery ahead. Pursuing a personal injury claim against the at-fault party could allow you to seek adequate compensation to make up for these financial and emotional costs.
Our seasoned attorneys would be happy to review the details of your case and determine whether you may have grounds for a personal injury claim. These cases must meet the following criteria:
The defendant owed you a duty of care.
A duty of care is a person’s legal and ethical responsibility to take reasonable steps to prevent harm to others. Drivers owe other motorists and pedestrians a duty of care to avoid accidents. Property owners owe visitors a duty of care to remove hazards that may lead to injuries.
The defendant breached their duty of care.
A person breaches their duty of care when they fail to act with a degree of reasonable care that the average person would exercise in a similar situation, leading to harm. This might mean causing an accident or failing to mitigate a hazard that they knew or reasonably should have known about.
An accident occurred due to the breach.
When a person breaches their duty of care to others, an accident can quickly occur. This might be a car accident, a product malfunction, a slip-and-fall incident on another person’s property, or even a medical malpractice injury. The negligent party may be responsible for any harm they caused to others when they failed to act with a degree of reasonable care.
You suffered injuries in the accident.
Finally, if you suffered injuries in the accident another person caused or was negligent in, they may owe you damages.
What Damages Can You Seek in a Personal Injury Case?
Our attorneys can help you understand the potential value of your personal injury case based on factors such as the type of accident, the severity of your injuries, the value of any medical expenses paid, and your projected recovery timeline. Personal injury cases often give rise to both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages seek to compensate you for the direct monetary costs you incurred from the accident. These may include:
- Medical bills
- Time off work
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Property damage
- Physical therapy
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Ambulance bills
- Future medical needs
Non-Economic Damages
Personal injuries don’t just lead to monetary losses; they also significantly impact your livelihood. Non-economic damages seek to make up for the physical and emotional toll an accident has taken on your life. These may include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of quality of life
- Mental anguish
