How We Will Identify Medical Negligence That Entitles You to Compensation
Medical malpractice can take many forms, making it challenging to know if your case qualifies for compensation. The following elements of negligence can identify a valid claim:
- The medical provider owed you a duty of care to protect you from harm.
- The healthcare provider breached their duty by not meeting the acceptable standard.
- The healthcare provider’s breach caused your current condition.
- You suffered economic and non-economic damages due to your injuries.
You do not have to identify these elements on your own. Our Littleton medical negligence attorneys will handle it for you, including collecting evidence that supports your compensation request.

- Economic damages: Past and future medical bills, including corrective care, rehab, therapy, and assistive medical devices; past and future lost wages, including loss of the ability to earn in the future
- Non-economic damages: Temporary or permanent disability and disfigurement, physical pain and suffering, inconvenience, mental and emotional anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages: If applicable, our Littleton wrongful death lawyers can request recovery of funeral, burial, and cremation costs. You may also recover damages for your loss of financial support, domestic service, consortium, guidance, and companionship.

We also offer legal representation on a contingency basis, so you only pay us if we secure compensation for you.
Let Us Take the Confusion Out of the Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations
Filing your personal injury lawsuit on time is a critical part of your case. If you miss the filing deadline, the court could prohibit you from filing. According to CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102.5, you generally have two years to file your lawsuit.
The statutory clock can start ticking:
- On the date of the medical error
- On the date the error was discovered
- On the 18th birthday of an injured minor
These potential fluctuations can make meeting the filing deadline challenging on your own. Let our Littleton medical malpractice injury lawyers handle it for you. We will accurately interpret the filing deadline and file your lawsuit within the allotted time.
