Why Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Greeley
When a healthcare provider in Greeley fails to meet the accepted standard of care — and that failure causes you serious harm — you have the right to pursue compensation. Medical malpractice cases are among the most complex in personal injury law. Healthcare providers and their insurers respond aggressively, and building a successful claim requires expert testimony, thorough medical record analysis, and experienced legal representation.
At Zobel Legal Group, our medical malpractice lawyers in Greeley fight for patients who have been harmed by negligent doctors, surgeons, nurses, and healthcare facilities across Weld County. We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

What to Do After a Medical Error in Greeley
Request Your Medical Records
Obtain complete copies of all medical records related to your treatment. These records are the foundation of any medical malpractice claim and must be preserved immediately.
Seek a Second Medical Opinion
Consulting another qualified healthcare provider serves two purposes — it ensures you receive proper treatment and helps establish that the original provider’s care fell below the accepted standard.
Document Everything
Keep a detailed record of your symptoms, follow-up appointments, additional treatments required, and the financial and personal impact of the medical error on your daily life.

Medical malpractice cases in Colorado have strict deadlines. The statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury or discovery of the injury, with an absolute three-year cap. Do not wait to seek legal guidance.
Key Colorado Laws Affecting Your Greeley Medical Malpractice Case
Certificate of Review
Colorado law requires a Certificate of Review to be filed with the court alongside — or within 60 days of — your medical malpractice lawsuit. This certificate confirms that a qualified medical expert has reviewed your case and determined that the healthcare provider’s conduct fell below the accepted standard of care. Failure to file this certificate can result in dismissal of your case.
Statute of Limitations
In Colorado, most medical malpractice claims must be filed within two years of the date the injury occurred or was discovered. If the injury was not discoverable within two years, a three-year absolute deadline applies from the date of the negligent act. For children under six, the lawsuit must be filed before their eighth birthday.
Cap on Non-Economic Damages
Colorado currently caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $300,000. Economic damages such as medical expenses and lost wages are not subject to this cap. Understanding how these limits apply to your case is critical to evaluating any settlement offer.
Modified Comparative Negligence
Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence standard. If you are found partially at fault for your injuries, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. You can still recover as long as you are less than 51% responsible.
Compensation Available in Greeley Medical Malpractice Claims
A successful medical malpractice claim in Greeley can recover:
- All past and future medical expenses required to treat the malpractice injury
- Lost wages during recovery
- Reduced future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and anxiety
- Physical impairment or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
