Did you know that if you have suffered an injury on someone else’s property due to unsafe or negligent conditions, you may be entitled to compensation? At Veritas Injury Lawyers, a Grand Junction premises liability lawyer from our firm can investigate your case and determine who is responsible for your injuries.

If you were a lawful guest and were injured through no fault of your own, we can help you pursue compensation for medical bills and other accident-related expenses.

How a Premises Liability Case Works

Many people think that when you hire an attorney, it means you are going to court. Although it is impossible to predict what happens, most cases settle outside of court, saving you the time, money, and stress of a trial. However, we are willing to go to trial for you if necessary—our goal is simply to give you the compensation you need, no matter what.

Here, we will provide some of the factors that go into pursuing a personal injury settlement:

At the outset, we conduct investigative work—obtaining photographs, witness statements, and medical reports—to verify how the accident happened and identify who was at fault.

We do not proceed until your doctor confirms your release and recovery or that your condition has stabilized. At that point, we begin obtaining records, medical reports, and bills. This process may take time because health care providers often take longer to prepare reports.

Next, we negotiate with the insurance company. This step could also slow the process because multiple employees review each case. When an offer arrives, we promptly send it to you and discuss possible courses of action.

If negotiations do not produce a fair settlement, Veritas Injury Lawyers could file a personal injury lawsuit. Defendants typically have 30 days from service to file a response. There may be several defendants, and a single defendant could bring additional parties into the case.

After the defendants file their answers, proceedings begin and may include depositions of witnesses, parties, and experts. Veritas Injury Lawyers could guide and assist you throughout the process and may use discovery tools to advance your claim. Discovery can be expensive and time-consuming, given case complexity.

After discovery concludes, we request a trial date. The court’s schedule, not the parties, determines when the trial is set.

This process can be complex and time-consuming, which reflects the reality of premises liability claims. Our Colorado accident lawyers could stay engaged throughout, conduct investigations on your behalf, and provide legal counsel as needed.
