Types Of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Our attorneys are skilled in handling various types of cases, including:

Car Accidents

In 2024, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) reported 689 traffic fatalities. As of October 2025, the number recorded was 528. According to City-Data, 10 vehicles were involved in fatal accidents in Grand Junction in 2023, resulting in 9 fatalities. In September 2024, three people, including two CDOT employees doing maintenance operations, were killed on Highway 6 when a driver drifted off the road. These statistics are proof that some road users endanger others.

Someone on the road may make a mistake that causes an accident, leading to you suffering damages. Thus, it’s vital to know the steps to take if you or your loved one is ever injured in a crash.

Our car accident attorneys help people injured in collisions receive fair compensation from at-fault parties.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are considered more dangerous than crashes that involve passenger vehicles only. This is because trucks are heavier. They weigh up to 80,000 pounds compared to passenger vehicles, which weigh about 3,000 to 4,000 pounds. This means a crash involving a truck usually results in a much greater impact on the smaller car. Furthermore, trucks are higher than smaller cars, increasing the chances of an underride accident.

Consequently, a truck accident is more likely to result in serious injuries, significant property damage, and death. Our truck accident attorneys are experienced in handling such complex matters, helping clients get fair outcomes. 

Motorcycle Accidents

A car has a protective shell (the metal frame), airbags, seatbelts, crumple zones, and other safety features that a motorcycle lacks. Therefore, in an accident involving a car and a motorcycle, the motorcyclist is likely to suffer severe injuries. 

Our Grand Junction injury attorneys help victims injured in motorcycle accidents receive compensation that can cover all the damages incurred. They are knowledgeable about the unique challenges of motorcycle accident injuries and Colorado’s motorcycle laws. We help clients make informed decisions throughout the process.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents are a concerning issue in Mesa County and Colorado, in general. Distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, and failing to yield are some of the common factors that contribute to pedestrian accidents. 

Unfortunately, this type of accident often leads to life-threatening injuries and fatalities. On July 15, 2025, a pedestrian was hit by a vehicle at the intersection of North Avenue and 28 ¾ Road. The pedestrian sustained life-threatening injuries and later died. 

Pedestrian accidents typically change the lives of those involved and their families substantially. If you or your loved one is injured in a crash as a pedestrian, our lawyers will help you determine the best way forward.

Workers’ Comp

A significant percentage of Americans are injured on the job yearly. If you sustain a work-related injury or contract an occupational illness, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. However, the process of being compensated by your employer’s insurance company may not be smooth. The insurer may deny or undervalue your claim. That’s why it’s crucial to work with a workers’ compensation attorney. 

Our lawyers will handle everything from gathering evidence to negotiating with the insurance company to help you get fair compensation. We serve injured workers from different industries. Whether you suffer a broken bone in a construction accident or develop carpal tunnel syndrome at a desk job, we will help you.

Catastrophic Injury

Our personal injury attorneys in Grand Junction, CO, handle cases involving catastrophic injuries. A catastrophic injury is a severe, life-altering injury that either has permanent consequences or requires long-term care. 

Examples include:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Severe burns
• Internal organ damage
• Amputations
• Complex fractures
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)

One can sustain a catastrophic injury in a car, truck, motorcycle, workplace, or slip-and-fall accident. This kind of injury can also result from using a defective product or an act of violence.

A catastrophic injury can lead to permanent disability, permanent changes to an individual’s quality of life, and significant medical needs. Our law firm understands the medical and legal challenges of these injuries in-depth. We help injured victims understand their options.

Wrongful Death

If you lose a loved one due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party, your family can file a wrongful death claim against that party. For example, if your loved one dies in a motor vehicle accident or because of medical malpractice.

Our lawyers will help you learn more about the incident to determine if the case qualifies as wrongful death. We will also help your family understand who can file the lawsuit, the damages you can recover, and the statute of limitations to observe.

Sexual Assault

Our law firm helps sexual assault victims seek justice. This type of case often leaves victims dealing with physical injuries and mental trauma. We help victims pursue compensation from the perpetrator and anyone who, in any way, created the conditions that enabled the assault.

We handle cases involving child sexual abuse, sexual assault on college campuses, workplace sexual harassment, and sexual assault in rideshares like Uber and Lyft. Moreover, we help clients access the support they need for recovery.

Personal Injury 

If you suffer an injury caused by another person’s negligence, you may be qualified to file a claim against that person. Accordingly, you can seek compensation for economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life).

Our personal injury attorneys help victims injured in different situations fight for their rights.
