Lawyer for Professional or Medical Malpractice (Doctor, Dental, Legal) in Denver and Colorado

If you, a friend, or relative you believe suffered damages and/or injuries as a result of a health care professional's negligence, meaning that their standard of care fell below the applicable standard for such a health care professional, you may be entitled to recover damages from that individual and in certain cases a hospital, for pain and suffering, loss of income, out of pocket expenses, physical impairment, scarring and inconvenience.

There is a 2 year statute of limitations in Colorado, meaning that if you were to pursue such a claim, you would need to file a complaint in court within 2 years from the date of the incident. Keep in mind that in this type of a case, the plaintiff's attorney is required to file with the court, within 60 days from the date of filing a complaint, a certificate of review which means that the attorney has had a professional in the same field in which the malpractice occurred review the case and determine that it does not lack substantial justification meaning that there is a good faith belief that the defendant did commit malpractice.

The difficulty with these cases is that they are very expensive to prosecute and jurors inevitably favor the professional except in instances where the defendant is an attorney and it is a legal malpractice case.
