Negligence Attorneys in Colorado Springs

Negligence lawsuits compensate victims for the bad actions of others. Colorado law says that when someone causes an accident, they should pay for the victim's losses. A lawsuit begins the process of the victim making a claim for financial payment. The victim develops the evidence to prove that negligence occurred. They also present the amount of their damages and what they deserve in compensation for their negligence lawsuit.

A negligence lawsuit is a powerful way for a victim to hold a wrongdoer accountable. It is a way to get the financial relief that the victim deserves. It's also essential to make the defense responsible for their actions and encourage more careful behavior from the defendant in the future. Negligence actions are not intentional conduct. Instead, they are based on accidents that result from unreasonable, careless actions of others.

If you're wondering if you have a valid negligence claim, here are some examples of common negligence lawsuits:

Auto Negligence Lawsuit 

When someone is the victim of a car accident, they may qualify to bring a negligence claim against the person or people who cause the accident. An auto negligence lawsuit may vary based on the location where the accident occurs.

Hotel Negligence Lawsuit 

Hotels have a high duty to keep their property safe and secure. Dangers may include hazardous sidewalks, dirty rooms, chemical exposures and breaches of security. A hotel may be liable for a person who gets hurt on their property.

Lawsuit for Slip and Fall 

Businesses must take adequate measures to prevent slip and fall accidents. Spills, broken railings and objects in the way of a patron can all cause slip and fall accidents. Talk to our Colorado Springs slip and fall attorneys to see if you have a case.

Chemical Exposure Damages 

Chemical leaks, burns and respiratory issues can all be the basis for a negligence lawsuit. A party who causes a gas, liquid or solid chemical leak may owe victims compensation. Our Colorado Springs negligence attorneys can help you value and claim the full extent of your damages.

Negligent Hiring/Retention 

Companies must do the research to make sure their employees are qualified for the job. Negligent hiring and employee retention that results in an accident can be the basis for a lawsuit.

Medical Malpractice 

Negligence can occur in the context of medical care. Doctors have an obligation to provide reasonable care. There are special rules that apply in medical malpractice cases as compared to traditional negligence torts. See our Colorado Springs lawyers for your case evaluation.

Bicycle/Pedestrian Accident Negligence 

Bicyclists and pedestrians can be victims of negligence. Drivers must be careful with everyone on the road, including bicyclists and people on foot. Negligence laws apply to these victims, and you can base a legal claim on injuries and property damage.
