Aurora Personal Injury Lawyer

Our Aurora Personal Injury Attorney Practice Areas

The experienced Aurora personal injury attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm represent people throughout Colorado who have been hurt in a wide variety of accidents. Our practice areas include:

Auto Accidents

As large as Aurora is, car accidents are unfortunately a common sight on the streets, roads, and highways in and around the city. Since we started The Wilhite Law Firm in 1977, our car accident attorneys have represented thousands of people from all across Colorado in motor vehicle accident cases who suffered serious injuries in car crashes. We are proud of our heritage of justice, and our clients appreciate being treated like real people who suffered real trauma rather than simply as numbers on insurance claims waiting to be processed. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in a car accident in Aurora or elsewhere in Colorado, you can count on an Aurora car accident attorney to give you the personal attention you need to guide you through the process of securing compensation for your losses.

Trucking Accidents

We see them every day — large tractor-trailers, dump trucks, and other heavyweight vehicles carrying goods throughout Aurora and surrounding cities. When these heavy trucks collide with other vehicles or pedestrians, the injuries that result can be extremely serious. All too often, catastrophic truck accidents leave accident victims with traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, internal injuries, and severe bone fractures. The Aurora legal team of truck accident lawyers at The Wilhite Law Firm understands the complexities related to truck accident cases, and we stand ready to review your personal injury case and identify all potential avenues for compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents

On roads and highways dominated by cars, trucks, SUVs, and other larger vehicles, people on motorcycles find themselves extremely vulnerable to other drivers’ carelessness and negligence. In Aurora and throughout Colorado, motorcyclists can face catastrophic injuries when fellow drivers fail to pay attention to their surroundings and cause a crash. If you were injured in a crash while driving or riding as a passenger on a motorcycle, and you feel the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, contact us today. You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, and the motorcycle accident attorneys in Aurora at The Wilhite Law Firm are dedicated to helping those hurt in motorcycle accidents in Aurora.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

Aurora is a beautiful place to go for a stroll or take a bike ride. Its great outdoor spaces and parks are one of the reasons people love to live in Aurora. However, roads are not always a safe place for pedestrians and bicyclists looking to get a bit of fresh air and enjoy the scenery. A careless driver can cause serious injuries to a person on foot or on a bike. Because these accidents can be so severe, it is especially important to work with an experienced bicycle accident lawyer and pedestrian accident attorney in Aurora who understands these complicated claims. If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian or bicycle accident in Aurora, contact The Wilhite Law Firm today to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.

Slip-and-Fall Accidents

People and entities that own and occupy buildings and other facilities in Aurora are required to keep the property in a reasonably safe condition. When they fail to maintain a standard of safety, serious injuries such as those suffered in a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident may occur. Unreasonably dangerous conditions that lead to injuries on someone else’s property are categorized as “premises liability.” If you have slipped or fallen on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions, contact the Aurora slip and fall and premises liability attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm to explore your legal options for getting the compensation you deserve from those responsible.

Workplace Accidents

There are not many lines of work that require people to put their lives on the line. That’s one of the reasons a serious workplace accident can be so devastating – there’s no way to plan for it. Serious injuries caused by a workplace accident can leave a person unable to earn a living. Workers’ compensation is supposed to provide benefits for injured workers to help them pay for medical bills and compensate for lost wages. Unfortunately, in many cases, getting access to these benefits is not as easy as it should be. That’s where the Aurora workplace injury attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm come in. We understand the workers’ compensation system and will fight for the assistance you deserve. In addition to assisting with workers’ compensation claims, we can also analyze your workplace accident for other possible sources of recovery, such as a third-party claim.

Social Security Disability Benefits

If you are an Aurora resident whose claim for SSD benefits has been denied, you are not alone. The majority of initial applications for SSD throughout Colorado and across the United States are rejected the first time – including those that are valid. So do not give up. Get help from the Social Security disability benefits lawyers at The Wilhite Law Firm. We have extensive experience in helping people in Aurora and throughout Colorado get the SSD benefits they deserve. Our attorneys are driven by a heritage of justice to hold government agencies accountable in their treatment of injured and disabled people. Contact us today so we can review your claim and get you on the path to receiving the benefits you are entitled to.

VA Disabilities

As the people of Aurora well know, veterans should be respected and honored for their service to our country. Those who suffer from a disability, whether that disability is connected to their service or not, may be entitled to disability benefits from the Veterans Administration. The amount the VA pays is based on a disability rating system, but in most cases, the initial disability rating is too low. The Aurora Veterans Affairs disability attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm are proud to stand up for those who have stood up for our country. We will seek the full VA disability benefits that Aurora veterans have earned through service to our country.

Product Liability

When an Aurora resident is injured by a defective product, the companies that designed, manufactured, marketed, and distributed the dangerous product may be held responsible for damages through a product liability lawsuit. These types of personal injury cases are often very complex, and the companies responsible for the defective product will fight tooth and nail against you. That is why it is important to enlist an experienced Aurora product liability attorney from The Wilhite Law Firm. We will review the facts of your product liability case and go over your legal options during a free consultation.

Dangerous Medicines

Medications are supposed to make patients feel better, not worse. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Adverse side effects from a prescription or over-the-counter medication can cause serious injury to unsuspecting patients. If you have suffered from an experience with dangerous medications, the Aurora dangerous medicines lawyer at The Wilhite Law Firm wants to hear from you. We may be able to get compensation for your injuries.

Wrongful Death Claims

Have you suffered the loss of a loved one due to an accident that could have been prevented? We know that there is nothing that can undo the pain associated with such a loss, but you can still seek justice for your loved one through what’s called a “wrongful death” claim. In Colorado, there are specific rules governing wrongful death claims and what types of compensation may be available. The experienced and compassionate Aurora wrongful death attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm are driven by our heritage of justice. We are here to offer legal assistance to families in Aurora who have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence.
