In addition to our attorneys and paralegal staff working on your case as a skilled litigation team, we also work closely with a network of medical experts and accident investigators. Our Denver injury lawyers know that discovering long-range effects of an injury to a child includes gathering evidence from the child's teachers, relatives, doctors and others who knew the child's personality and capacities intimately before the accident. We use that evidence to prepare the strongest, clearest case possible for damages that may have to cover a lifetime of medical care and therapy. Contact a personal injury lawyer at one of our offices to schedule a free consultation about how we can use our experience to help your family recover the full compensation your child may need.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death is the basis for a lawsuit against the party or parties who caused the death. It may be filed on behalf of the members of the family who have lost the company and support of the deceased or by the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased. Compensation may be awarded for the personal loss of love and companionship and for loss of expected financial support.
Getting complete and fair compensation for the death of a loved one begins with understanding the deceased person and his or her relationships. The right personal injury litigation attorney will listen to you, ask the right questions, and take the time to fully understand how the death has impacted you and other survivors. Successful settlements and jury awards often hinge on having an attorney who understands both how the death happened and how it has impacted the survivors. The Denver wrongful death lawyers at Bell & Pollock, PC have the skill and experience to clearly identify the mechanisms of an injury or death as well as the compensation that may be necessary to redress the loss. The injury attorneys at Bell & Pollock have been providing knowledgeable, aggressive representation in the areas of wrongful death and personal injury claims litigation since 1984. If you have suffered such a loss, call us today for an initial free consultation.
Burns
Serious burns leave psychological marks that go deeper than tissue scarring and disfigurement. Beyond the severe pain, burns often result in a reduction in muscle or skeletal mobility that can require a lifetime of physical rehabilitation. In addition, the visible scarring often has a more severe effect on women than on men. Reconstructive surgery can repair some of the physical damage, but the emotional damage may remain forever.
Bell & Pollock, PC knows that behind every burn injury is a story of an individual and family that has been seriously affected. We know that our first job is to help you get the justice you deserve. So we listen to your story first, then we give you a clear and honest assessment of your claim, including all your legal options.
Brain
Insurance companies and defense lawyers refer to a brain injury as the non-existent injury. But we know that brain injuries are very real and have a profound impact on victims and their families. A traumatic brain injury can often begin with a short loss of consciousness following a motor vehicle accident or a slip and fall injury. In many cases, the full impact of the symptoms may not show up for weeks or months after the brain injury, and are first noticed by spouses or co-workers. Make no mistake, brain injuries are very real and often have a lifelong impact on the victim.
If you have reason to suspect that you have suffered a brain injury following head trauma, seek medical help immediately. Bell & Pollock, PC is ready to work closely with your medical professional to determine the full impact of your injury and prepare a strong case for seeking full and fair compensation that will include the cost of life-care for you and your family.
Spinal Cord
When you are seeking compensation for a spinal cord injury, your personal injury attorney must look beyond your immediate medical treatment and needs. At the Denver personal injury law firm of Bell & Pollock, PC our team of personal injury lawyers work closely with medical and physical rehabilitation specialists to determine the total financial cost of a life-care plan. We take the time to listen to you and understand the total impact the spinal cord injury will have on you and your family. We have the experience to understand the neurology and mechanisms involved in a spinal cord injury and to present your case in the clearest possible way. We know how to prove your economic losses to protect yourself financially, now and in the future.
Amputation
Medical science has made amazing strides in recent years. Prosthetic limbs are becoming more available and more lifelike than ever before. However, insurance companies would like you to believe that once you have a replaced an amputated limb, you are good as new. You need an attorney who can understand and explain to insurance companies and juries the pain and suffering involved in the loss of your limb as well as in your recovery, including physical therapy and rehabilitation. Bell & Pollock, PC knows that you were born with two arms and two legs, not with prosthetics. If you have suffered the amputation of a limb as a result of someone else’s negligence, a workplace injury or a defective product, call us for a free initial consultation to determine the full extent of your loss.
Children
Your young child cannot always tell you how an injury has affected him or her. In fact many children may not even be aware of a personality change or loss of cognitive abilities following a childhood accident. Often, even the parents do not recognize the changes over time and the effects may be noticeable only to teachers and other professionals who come in contact with your child every day. A childhood accident is tragic not just because of the immediate injury or pain. Injuries to children may cause medical problems and emotional damages that can last a lifetime. Your Denver personal injury attorney must understand how to prepare a case for life-care compensation damages, not just for the present or the immediate future.
