Matlin Injury Law Puts Clients First in Littleton, CO

Attorney Brian Matlin—our founder and a Coloradan born, raised, and educated—and our outstanding team of case managers, specialists, paralegals, administrators, and attorneys know the people and the laws of Colorado. We use that knowledge daily as we stand up for clients injured by someone else’s reckless or willful behavior.

If our clients find travel difficult, we go to them and handle their cases from their hospital room or home. Because rapid communication positively affects our casework, our clients can contact their attorney directly rather than through a manager. In addition, we provide an app that gives clients instant access to case updates. As our client, you always know what’s happening with your personal injury claim. 

We’re proud that clients give us a 5.0/5.0 rating on Google Reviews. Abe’s thoughts reflect those of others who share feedback, making our clients our best spokespeople:

• “Brian is hands down the best injury lawyer! He made the whole process from beginning to end easy and was very transparent. I appreciate all of the help from him and his team and for getting my case settled. I highly recommend him and his team!”

Our Littleton Catastrophic Injury Lawyer Helps You Pursue the Compensation You Deserve

A catastrophic injury can change your life, leaving you with long-term or permanent impairment or disabilities. Such injuries may include:

• Crushed bones
• Partial or total paralysis
• Traumatic brain injury
• Loss of limb
• Blindness
• Severe burns
• Damaged spinal cord

The physical, emotional, and financial damage done by such an injury can be overwhelming. A compensation settlement or judgment will not alter what has happened. However, receiving full and fair compensation for your losses can assist with the practical aspects of building a workable future for yourself. 

You Can Receive Compensation to Cover Current and Future Losses

Meet with one of our Littleton catastrophic injury lawyers at Matlin Injury Law to discover the types of compensation you may be due. Typically, compensation may cover the following types of losses.

Current and Future Medical Care

We’ll fight for compensation to pay for medical equipment and devices, surgeries, medications, therapy, hospital stays, long-term care, in-home care, alterations to your home or vehicle for accessibility, and transportation to and from appointments.

Property Repairs

Did you have property damaged in the incident? We can get money to replace or repair your car, cellphone, or other damaged items.

Lost Income

A catastrophic injury often means you miss weeks or months from work. We’ll fight to replace the lost income and benefits, plus any diminished earning capacity, if you can work but at a lower-paying position.

Domestic Support

We can seek money to pay for assistance with activities you can no longer do on your own, such as childcare, errands, or household chores.

Noneconomic Damages

These losses don’t have receipts or bills to quantify their value, but we’ll fight for compensation for your:

• Physical pain and suffering from the initial injury and throughout recovery
• Emotional trauma
• Depression and anxiety
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of or change in relationships
• Loss of enjoyment in life

Our Littleton catastrophic injury lawyers will help you recognize all your compensable losses and file a compensation claim with the liable party’s insurers. Then, we will negotiate for the compensation settlement you deserve.

Most personal injury compensation claims are settled in this manner, but should negotiations prove unsuccessful, we will begin legal action on your behalf and seek a compensation verdict or judgment in court.

Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit for a Catastrophic Injury Within Colorado’s Statute of Limitations

Colorado sets a time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party. The length of time you have varies, depending on the circumstances of your injury:

• Three years for car accident injuries per CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-101
• Two years for all other injuries per CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102

Reach out today to a Matlin Injury Law team member to clarify how the statute of limitations may affect your catastrophic injury case. 

Proving Fault for Your Catastrophic Injury

Before approaching an insurer with a compensation claim or filing a lawsuit against the negligent party, we must prove who is responsible for your catastrophic injury. Our team will investigate the accident for evidence proving the following:

• The at-fault party had a duty to act as a reasonable person would so as not to cause harm.
• The at-fault party breached that duty due to their negligent act.
• Their action caused the accident in which you sustained a catastrophic injury.
• Your catastrophic injury led to financial and psychological harm.

During our investigation, we may speak with eyewitnesses, collect visual data and accident documentation, review the history of the at-fault party, and recreate the accident to help determine its cause.

Recovering Compensation for Your Catastrophic Injury if You are Partially at Fault

Colorado follows the comparative negligence rule that could allow you to recover compensation for your losses even if a jury finds you partially at fault for the accident. 

We will address this complicated aspect of the law during our investigation and mitigate its impact on your claim.
