Common Injuries Suffered In Personal Injury Claims In Lakewood

There are many injuries that can occur when something goes wrong because of a careless driver, a dog owner whose animal attacks, a doctor who provides substandard care, or any other person or company who fails to live up to a basic obligation to keep others safe. 

Some of the most common kinds of injuries our firm helps clients get compensation for include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries: These can cause cognitive changes and serious impairment. They can result from open or closed head injuries. 
  • Spinal cord damage: Damage to the nerves of the spine can cause loss of feeling and loss of movement. This can occur due to a car accident, a slip and fall, a medical error, or many other types of accidents. 
  • Soft tissue injury: This involves damage to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. It includes sprains, strains, contusions, bursitis, and tendonitis, and it can cause significant pain and impairment. 
  • Broken bones: Bone fractures can happen due to car accidents, slips and falls, dog bites, and many other causes. They can be painful, cause lasting harm, and require expensive treatment.
  • Laceration and abrasions: Damage to the surface of the skin can be painful, can result in infection, and can cause scarring that forever changes your appearance.
  • Crushing injuries: These can occur due to a workplace accident, a car crash, a dog bite, or many other types of incidents. A crushing injury can be fatal or can result in amputation or other serious and long-lasting consequences. 

These are just a few of the many different kinds of injuries that our clients have experienced. No matter what type of harm you have endured, and no matter how serious your injuries are, our Lakewood personal injury lawyers will work to get you the compensation you deserve for the losses you are experiencing. 

What Does a Lakewood Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

A personal injury lawyer in Lakewood will be there for you from the beginning of your case until the end. 

Throughout the process, we’ll aim to remove the burden from your shoulders so you can focus on recovering while we take care of the legal issues for you.  We are here 24/7 to answer your questions, and you won’t be dealing with associates — you’ll have direct access to your lawyer, who will provide personalized help. 

Our firm will be by your side as we help you build your case by doing some or all of the following tasks:

  • Gathering evidence. Whether it is driver log books from truckers, property maintenance records, security camera footage from a dangerous property, or witness statements in the aftermath of an auto accident, our firm will gather the evidence you need to build a strong claim. 
  • Identifying defendants. There may be multiple people who are to blame for the harm that you endure. Our firm will help you to identify all of the defendants who could be liable for your losses so you stand the best chance of recovering for all the damages you endured. This can include, for example, both truck drivers and the companies that employ them, or doctors and the hospitals where they work. 
  • Negotiating with insurers: Many clients prefer to settle cases outside of court, as this can be a less stressful process. We can help negotiate a settlement and ensure that you don’t accept an offer for less than the amount that you deserve, so you don’t have uncompensated losses following your accident. 
  • Representing you in court. Sometimes, going to trial becomes necessary. When it does, we have a network of expert witnesses, experience in trial strategy, and a long string of wins in personal injury claims, so you can rest assured we are ready to fight for you.
