Common Injuries From Car Accidents

A car accident can cause injury to nearly every area of a person’s body. The immense force of a collision and the subsequent danger of flying debris can result in devastating injuries to involved drivers, passengers and pedestrians. While some people are lucky enough to walk away from a collision with little more than minor scrapes and bruises, others may suffer catastrophic injuries with life-changing consequences.

Common serious injuries suffered in car accidents include:

In addition to physical trauma, the experience of a car accident can cause a person to suffer from very real psychological and emotional injuries such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This is especially prevalent in cases in which a person has lost a loved one in a collision. It is important to seek a thorough medical evaluation after a crash to protect your health and get the help you need to recover.

Chadwick McGrady handles personal injury cases on behalf of Grand Junction residents who have suffered all types of physical and emotional trauma. If you have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit, he is prepared to fight for the full financial compensation you deserve. While injured people will have insurance claims in most cases, he will not hesitate to fight for maximum compensation in court if necessary—and he has a proven track record of securing favorable settlements and verdicts for his clients’ injuries.

Comparative Negligence In Colorado Personal Injury Claims

Colorado is a “modified comparative negligence” state in regard to lawsuits related to car accidents. Under this law, you may recover compensation against any party who was more at fault for the crash than you were, but your eligible financial recovery will be reduced by a percentage that matches your share of fault. 

For example, if your case were to go to trial and a jury finds you to be 20% at fault for the crash that caused your injuries, your total eligible award will be reduced by 20%.

Colorado’s comparative negligence rule also states that you may not recover anything for your injuries if you are found to be 50% or more at fault for your accident. Insurance companies understand this rule well and will likely use this to pressure you into accepting a lower settlement than you deserve. 

Grand Junction car accident attorney Chadwick McGrady can shield you from this type of unfair treatment and ensure the responsible parties are held accountable. Attorney McGrady works with accident reconstructionists, medical professionals, and other experts to prove liability for our clients’ traffic accidents and hold negligent drivers (or their insurance companies) liable for full compensation. He handles cases involving uninsured motorists as well, and he can deal with your insurance company on your behalf if necessary.

What Types Of Damages Can a Grand Junction Car Accident Attorney Help You Recover?

Many people are inexperienced with car wrecks. Questions are common for accident victims and their families. If you were injured in a car accident, you can file a claim against the at-fault driver in pursuit of a wide range of economic and noneconomic damages. The exact value of your case will vary based on the extent of your injuries, but in most cases, you can expect to recover compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (both present and future)
  • Property damage and vehicle repair costs
  • Lost wages and any other income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Wrongful death (if a loved one died in the crash)
