Personal Injury
The Cordova Law Firm, LLP has a strong focus on a personal injury practice with extensive experience and expertise in all serious injury cases involving mild to severe trauma. The Cordova Law Firm represents and advises clients injured in motor vehicle accidents, recreational vehicle accidents, products liability actions, slip and fall accidents, and third party workers' compensation claims. Our law firm also represents and advises individuals and families in wrongful death actions and insurance claims. We are not a personal injury mill like some TV lawyers you see, instead we dedicate our time to our clients individually and personally.
Constantly on the cutting edge, the Cordova Law Firm utilizes state-of-the-art technology, medical, and legal experts, where appropriate, to effectively prepare and litigate cases. We have used doctors from a wide variety of medical fields and specialties as expert witnesses, as well as nurses, medical professionals, psychologists, life care planners, and rehabilitationist. We also work closely with workers' compensation lawyers as we handle personal injury cases.
Our top ranked Central and Southern Colorado Law Firm offers effective, efficient, and convenient service to all of its clients. We offer flexible office hours, home and hospital visits, and a free initial consultation to discuss and evaluate your injury case. Personal injury cases are all handled on a contingency fee basis, and we will advance litigation costs to clients in appropriate cases.
Compensation in Personal Injury Cases
When you are injured, a personal injury case can help you obtain compensation for both economic losses and non-economic losses. Compensation for economic damages in personal injury cases includes payment of medical costs and lost wages. In many cases, a person who suffers a catastrophic injury will be unable to work in the future or will have a reduced income because of the lingering effects of the injury.
In such situations, the injured victim can obtain compensation for ongoing lost income. If the victim dies, then a wrongful death claim can be filed to help surviving family members recover the financial support they would have received if their loved one had not been killed.
Non-economic damages are also available in personal injury cases. With the help of a Southern and Central Colorado personal injury attorney, an injured victim can obtain compensation for his pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and lingering emotional distress caused by the injury. A surviving family member of the deceased victim can also obtain non-economic damages for loss of companionship.
At the Cordova Law Firm, LLP, our accident lawyers help clients secure the full amount of both non-economic and economic damages available under the law. We use our negotiating skills to obtain a favorable out-of-court settlement, and we vigorously represent clients in court.
Those who have been injured need an advocate on their side who understands what they are going through and who can help them to protect their legal rights. For more than 30 years, the experienced accident attorneys at our Firm have been representing injured people, helping them to get the justice to which they are entitled under the law.
Personal injury or tort cases can be brought in any situation where someone is injured by the negligence of another person, company, or entity. The aim of personal injury cases is to make sure that injured victims are “made whole.” Having an experienced accident attorney on your side is the best way to ensure that the laws work as they should to protect you.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), deaths from car accidents increased in 2012, after six consecutive years of declining fatalities on our nation’s highways. Last year, 33,561 people died in crashes on roadways, compared to 32,479 in 2011. The number of injuries, meanwhile, is far greater, given that most car accidents are not fatal. An estimated 2.36 million people were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2012, compared to 2.22 million in 2011.
Though the consequences are not always severe, a motor vehicle collision has the capacity to inflict devastating trauma on those involved. If you have been injured because someone else was carelessness or negligence, you may have a right to receive financial compensation for the damages you have suffered. Obtaining fair compensation for damages, unfortunately, is not an easy process. If you were in an accident that caused injury, you should contact an experienced personal injury attorney in Southern Colorado.

Serious and Catastrophic Injuries
People who sustain severe injuries need great help and support. The medical expenses are almost always high and victims could need a long time away from work. Even if the injuries are not permanent, the road to recovery is long, difficult and often lonely.
The attorneys at the Cordova Law Firm, LLP are committed to helping people with severe injuries by providing the legal services they need to get back on their feet and on with their lives.
Chiropractic and Medical Malpractice
Chiropractic injuries often result when the chiropractor fails to examine the patient thoroughly and to develop a diagnosis and treatment plan properly. However, injury can also result from overly aggressive treatment. Chiropractic malpractice may cause herniated discs, vertebral artery dissection, brain stem infarction, stroke, paralysis and death. If you sustained an injury because of an incompetent chiropractor, contact our office for a consultation.
Serious injuries and even death can also occur as a result of malpractice committed by a physician or by the staff of a hospital or other health care facility. If you suffer a serious injury or complications, or have a loved one who dies as a result of substandard treatment by a physician or other health care provider, we have the experience, expertise and resources to aggressively and effectively prosecute such claims and obtain full and fair compensation to the limits allowed by law. At the Cordova Law Firm, LLP, we feel strongly that doctors and hospitals should be held to the same standards of competence to which others are held. If you feel that substantial treatment by a doctor, hospital, or other health care provider has harmed you, contact our office for a consultation.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Because carbon monoxide in its pure form is colorless, odorless and tasteless, the gas can injure and kill a person without warning. Carbon monoxide is generated by many innocuous sources, but it commonly comes from defective or poorly maintained furnaces and improperly installed gas appliances. The likely consequences of gas poisoning are either severe brain injury or death. If you have been injured because of carbon monoxide poisoning, or if you have lost a loved one, the Cordova Law Firm, LLP can help.
Wrongful Death
The death of a loved one is perhaps the most traumatic experience anyone must face in life. When a person dies because of the actions or negligence of another, the tragedy is magnified. One of the hardest things to do while grieving is to contemplate a lawsuit. But while we must all feel sympathy for the survivors, the greatest need is to ensure the security of their futures.
Our firm handles many wrongful death cases. We can help obtain the compensation you need from the person or entity that caused the death in order to secure your financial future and grant you at least some measure of closure.
If you or a loved one has been injured, contact our accident law firm of the Cordova Law Firm today. Your consultation is free and you only pay legal fees if your case is successful.
