Denver Catastrophic Medical Malpractice And Serious Professional Negligence
A mistake by a trusted professional is a profound betrayal. It can destroy a family and severely injure a loved one. At Denver Injury Law, LLC, we understand that you need help to find answers and rebuild your future.
Since our 1983 founding, our law firm has served as a premier high-stakes professional liability firm. Professional negligence attorney James Avery brings over 40 years of experience to catastrophic cases. He and the lawyers he works with are committed to lifting your legal burden and pursuing the settlement or verdict you need. We serve clients from Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, the I-70 corridor and beyond, across multiple states.
We do not handle noninjury professional negligence, purely economic loss cases or minor/temporary injury claims.
What Is Catastrophic Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider fails to follow the acceptable standard of care, causing severe harm or death. A catastrophic medical malpractice lawyer must prove this breach caused your injury. Examples include:
- Catastrophic injury due to surgical error
- Anesthesia events
- Misdiagnosis leading to death or permanent disability
- Birth injury litigation (HIE CP)
- Hospital wrongful death lawsuit cases involving corporate or vicarious liability
- Nursing home neglect or wrongful death
To win these cases, one must demonstrate a violation of the standard of care using detailed expert testimony. We strive to show causation and fight for the highest recovery through settlements, or at trial if needed, mindful of damage caps and the short statute of limitations and repose. We investigate system failures such as problematic credentialing and privileging and the lack of proper informed consent.
Holding Other Attorneys Accountable For Legal Malpractice
We also pursue claims against an attorney whose serious mistake destroyed a viable catastrophic injury or wrongful death case. This is called legal malpractice, causing case loss. For example, a lawyer may miss a critical filing deadline, completely extinguishing your right to recovery. The prior attorney’s failure must have directly caused the loss of a significant financial recovery.
