Personal Injury Claims Handling
A personal injury claim is a legal process where you seek compensation for injuries sustained due to someone else\'s negligence or intentional harm. The goal is to obtain financial relief for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages resulting from the injury.
Types of Personal Injuries Covered
Various types of personal injuries are eligible for claims, depending on the circumstances:
Car Accidents
Injuries from vehicle collisions are prevalent in personal injury cases. These include physical harm, property damage, and associated financial burdens like medical bills and repair costs.
Truck Accidents
Injuries from vehicle collisions are prevalent in personal injury cases. Trucking accidents in particular, can be especially devastating.
Motorcycle Accidents
Injuries from vehicle collisions are prevalent in personal injury cases. These include physical harm, property damage, and associated financial burdens like medical bills and repair costs.
Ride Share Accidents
Ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft offer a convenient and flexible mode of transportation. You don’t have to drive, find parking, or worry about owning a vehicle. However, as the popularity of rideshare services increased in Colorado, so did the number of rideshare accidents.
Slip and Fall Accidents
These occur when injuries result from slipping or tripping on someone else’s property due to hazardous conditions. Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe environments.
Workplace Injuries
Injuries sustained at work, such as those from machinery accidents or falls, are covered. Workers’ compensation often addresses these claims, focusing on recovery and compensation for lost wages.
Product Liability
Injuries caused by defective or unsafe products fall into this category. Claims focus on proving that a product’s defect directly led to the injury.

A car accident involves a collision between vehicles or between a vehicle and another object. Accidents can vary in severity from minor fender-benders to major crashes, resulting in significant injuries or fatalities.
Determining Fault in a Car Accident
Colorado follows a comparative negligence system. This means the percentage of fault you share in the accident affects your compensation. Let's say you're rear-ended at a red light. You're likely not at fault, but if you were speeding slightly, the insurance company may try to point the finger at you for a percentage of the blame.
Evidence plays a crucial role in proving fault. Here's what helps:
- Police Report
- Traffic Camera Footage
- Witness Statements
- Accident Reconstruction Experts
Zobel Personal Injury Law will gather this evidence and meticulously build a strong case on your behalf.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies
After an accident, insurance companies will likely contact you. Don't be pressured into accepting a low settlement offer. Insurance companies prioritize profit, not your well-being. At Zobel Personal Injury Law, we handle all communication with insurance companies. We understand their tactics and negotiate aggressively to secure a fair settlement that covers your:
Maximizing Compensation
Car accidents can have a lasting impact. Zobel Personal Injury Law is committed to helping you maximize your compensation. We explore all avenues to ensure you receive everything you're entitled to, including:
Future Medical Needs
If your injuries require ongoing medical care, we factor that into the settlement.
Loss of Earning Capacity
If your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job, we fight for compensation for lost future earnings.
Punitive Damages (in rare cases)
In cases of extreme recklessness or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault party.
With Zobel Personal Injury Law's guidance, you receive dedicated support in managing your car accident claim and achieving a fair resolution.
Workplace Injury Claims
When an injury occurs on the job, it can disrupt both your personal and professional life. Addressing workplace injuries involves understanding common injuries, navigating workers' compensation claims, and ensuring a safe return to work.
Common Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries vary widely, but some are more common than others. Slips, trips, and falls frequently occur in environments where surfaces may be wet or uneven. Repetitive strain injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome, often affect those performing repetitive tasks.
Back injuries result from heavy lifting or improper ergonomics, while exposure to hazardous substances may lead to respiratory problems or skin conditions. Identifying the type of injury you’ve sustained is vital for pursuing the appropriate claim and treatment.
Returning to Work Safely
Once you're medically cleared to return to work, focus on doing so safely. Don't rush back before you're fully healed. Communicate any limitations you have to your employer and work with them to modify your duties if necessary.
Prioritize your safety and well-being. If you experience pain or discomfort while working, report it immediately and don't hesitate to seek further medical attention.
Being injured at work can be stressful and leave you feeling overwhelmed. Zobel Personal Injury Law is here to help. We offer compassionate support and aggressive representation to ensure you receive the compensation and medical care you deserve. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Expert Evidence and Its Importance
Winning a medical malpractice case hinges on establishing a breach of the standard of care. Experts provide professional opinions on whether the standard of care was met and how the breach led to harm. Their testimony helps establish:
- Standard of Care: What a competent medical professional would have done under similar circumstances.
- Causation: How the breach of care directly caused the harm you suffered.
- Damages: The extent of the injury and the resulting impact on your life.
Overall, expert witnesses, who are licensed physicians with experience in the same field as the defendant's healthcare provider, can analyze your case and provide critical testimony.
