Working with Wes from Eddington Law Firm was one of the best decisions I could have made. After being rear ended and nearly having my not even 2 year old car totaled in March to being rear ended again in August followed by another rear ending in November of the same year, with 2/3 resulting in injuries Wes made the process of dealing with insurance companies bareable. He was quick to give me updates when he had them and was extremely easy to work with. I cannot thank him enough for helping me close that chapter of my life!

I had Wesley as my attorney for a personal injury claim stemming from a car accident in Sept of 2015 Wesley was very helpful in securing treatment for my Injuries. The insurance company did not want to fairly settle my case and Wesley went to bat for me filling suit and finally negotiating a policy limit settlement for me and my family to put our lives back together. Thank you Wes and the entire Ramos Law Firm

Emma was just absolutely amazing. Incredibly responsive, empathetic to my situation and she and her associate did everything and then SOME to resolve my case, while also doing so in an incredibly timely manner that yielded great results. I 100% stand behind Emma and recommend her to anyone needing someone to aid in handling employment law matters.

Mark Nelson assisted us in our construction defect case against our builder. He was very thorough through the process and kept us informed on any communications or decisions made. I would highly recommend him to any client looking at a potential lawsuit for construction defects.

Mark Nelson represented a number of homeowners in a construction defect case that we were part of. Mark, or one of his staff members, was always prompt in his responses when we had questions for him. He is personable and his staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Mark was not overly informative or involved in the time leading up to our arbitration, but had our case well laid out. He proved our case exceptionally well and was actually enjoyable to watch in action. He had a response for every objection from the other lawyers and knew why he asked the questions he did. He always cited prior court cases and statutes to back up his legal opinions. Mark listened to our concerns and responded appropriately. He did not always provide good news, but he was honest and straightforward with answers to our questions. Even when he did not have good news to provide to us, he had a game plan to counteract it. I appreciated his honesty with us and not sugar coating the bad stuff. He did not lead us to believe that everything would go our way and kept us grounded in reality. I would definitely recommend Mark to any of my friends and family and am confident that he will provide the best representation possible.

When I had nearly given up all hope that I could ever find justice, after I had exhausted all the Medical Customer Protection sources I could find, Linda Chalat became aware of my struggle, contacted me, and gave me hope for the first time in nearly two years. She immediately took the burden of worries off my shoulders and worked diligently to achieve the greatest justice possible. While she had to deal with the frustration of unethical and uncooperative so-called professionals, she never once stooped to their level. She worked very hard to get the very best resolution possible under the specific circumstances of my case. She didn't allow things to drag on, yet nor did she become impatient with the time she had to spend on my behalf. I didn't achieve all my goals of resolution, but her advice to me about what was possible and what was not worth the pain and strain, I trusted without a doubt as the very best guidance. I never felt like I was just another client, I felt I had a compassionate friend who wanted the very, very best for me. I shall ever be grateful to Linda Chalat and her firm for all the extras that they gave to me. I highly recommend Linda Chalat as knowledgeable, determined, professional, compassionate, and Ethical.

Jason Sandene assisted me with a car accident settlement recently. It was complex and could've easily gone to trial, but with his and his team's support, advice, and effectiveness, I received what I believe was a better settlement than had I done it on my own. And I didn't feel dragged to court which certainly would've yielded more money for the law firm. I highly recommend.

Keith Fuicelli was very thorough, honest, and compassionate in reviewing and handling my personal injury claim involving a broken back suffered when I was struck by a car while riding my bicycle. He was able to obtain an excellent settlement from the insurance company that for many months had tried to settle for almost nothing. He was able to avoid going to trial, but I believe would have represented me very capably if it had become necessary.

Luke J. Puszynski is a sharp, kind, excellent lawyer that will be by your side every step of the way from the initial consultation all the way up to the day he hands you your check. I was involved in a T-bone accident and although that experience was traumatic Luke helped me understand the whole process clearly and managed my case perfectly. He knew exactly what to do and how to do it. He returned calls very promptly. He made sure I was following proper procedures to get the treatment for the injuries I had and guided me every step of the way. He made the right recommendations with how to negotiate with the insurance company for the maximum settlement possible without having to go to trial. He also has years of experience in the courtroom if in fact you do have to go to trial. He could quickly give examples of other cases to help me better understand my own case. If you've been injured in an accident I highly recommend Luke J. Puszynski.

I have been blessed with the legal counsel of the Alonzi Pellow Beggan, LLC firm for eight years. Over that time any case I have presented them with has been dealt with, in the most diligent professional manner. I have always received favorable sentences, I believe because of my excellent representation. In my last matter, Shawna handled my case personally, and I have been made whole again because of the expert advice and care she handled my case with.

Shana has been a blessing in disguise as far as my situation went. She not only was very professional, organized and informative but she is also compassionate for the people she represents and their situation. For my personal situation she not only went the extra mile to make sure I was safe in what was going on in my case but she was also direct to the point. No hidden surprises and works hard to make the best deal out of any situation. After my case was done I felt Shana had befriended me and was concerned for my ongoing issues with my ex husband and was always concerned for my well being. She is awesome, I can say I love her because she had saved me from potential catastrophe. Thank you Shana and Firm for all you've done and continue to do for me.

I unequivocally recommend Holland, Holland Edwards, and Grossman. Like most who need their services, we came to them during extremely difficult circumstances after a wrongful death, a death that left behind 5 children. Anna and Erica were our champions. They advocated for us not only to get the compensation due to allow the children to be supported and to receive ongoing therapy for the awful situation, but Anna and Erica also were driven to make sure that this awful situation never happened to anyone else. They were the utmost professionals, while also making us feel cared for and supported. I still send them updates about the kids to let them know how much their work meant to us. This law firm is the whole package. I am so grateful that we found them.

It has been my honor and privilege to be represented by Anna Holland Edwards. She is a professional of the highest caliber. Anna treated me with dignity and respect at all times, listening with compassion and discernment. She worked tirelessly on my behalf, guiding and supporting me through a difficult trial. She displayed astonishing insight into my situation, then pursued my cause with unremitting intelligence and energy. Anna is brilliant. She is a thoroughly ethical expert. She called in a full array of superior trial skills and dedicated them to presenting the whole truth on my behalf. She used the full power of the law, with all its nuance and artistry, to win my case. As difficult as this ordeal was for me, Anna turned it into a positive, life changing experience that I will always recall with complete satisfaction. She and her firm did all the heavy lifting for my case. Her work on my behalf elevated me above the pain, frustration and shame associated with my case. She cleared my name and saved my reputation. I recommend her without reservation.

I emailed several attorneys in the Denver area about advice concerning an incident where I was given incorrect medication at Porter hospital after a major surgery. Without exception they all asked how bad my injury was from the incident. When I said I was not injured other than the fact I suffered without pain medication the first day post op because the hospitalist didn’t want to give me anything else. That and being given medications without being told what they were, even when asked, because the nurses and hospitalist didn’t feel I needed to know. My wife, who was with me the whole time however, and has a background in medicine of more than 26 years, did not accept that answer. Mr. Avery gave me sound advice and how to proceed with getting some answers about how and why I was treated this way, all without recompense (payment). His responses were always prompt to my inquiries and his answers very direct and honest, sometimes rare when dealing with attorneys. He told me the truth, whether it was god or bad.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You

A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.

Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:

  • Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
  • Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
  • Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
  • Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
  • Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
  • Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:

  • Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
  • Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
  • Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
  • Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
  • Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.

How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:

  • Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
  • Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
  • No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.

Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
  • Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.

While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.

Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer

Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. How long will my case take?
    While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim.
  6. Do you have references from past clients?
    Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.

How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
  • Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
  • Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
  • Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:

  • Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
  • Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
  • Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
  • Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
  • Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.

By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
