Personal Injury Attorneys Serving the Area

Many people have lived in Lakewood for years, some long enough to remember when it initially made the transition from a Denver suburban community to a city in its own right in 1969. Originally called Jefferson City, because of its location in Jefferson County, the city quickly decided to change its name to Lakewood, which better reflects its landscape of small lakes peppered at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

The city reports that its largest employers are Denver Federal Center, Jefferson County R-1 School District, Terumo BCT, St. Anthony Medical Campus, and FirstBank.

The Wilhite Law Firm proudly serves clients across Colorado, with offices conveniently located in Denver (Ogden, Emerson, and Downing), as well as Fort Collins, Aurora, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, and Greeley. If you’re in Lakewood or a nearby area, one of our Colorado offices is likely just a short drive away. And if travel is difficult, we’ll come to you. Our personal injury attorneys frequently meet with Lakewood clients at home or in the hospital to ensure they get the legal support they need while recovering.

Our Personal Injury Lawyer Practice Areas

No matter what type of accident you’ve been injured in in Lakewood, the dedicated personal injury attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm are here to help. Our attorneys have a history of pursuing justice for people in Lakewood and throughout Colorado who have been hurt in all types of accidents. Our practice areas include (but are not limited to):

No matter where you live, car accidents are a sad and all too common fact of life. And Lakewood is no different. Thousands of people are injured in Colorado car accidents each year, often due to someone else’s negligence. The car accident attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm have spent more than three decades representing crash victims and seeking compensation for their injuries. We have built a heritage of justice that our clients have come to appreciate. If you have been injured in a car accident in Lakewood or the surrounding areas, you can trust that a car accident attorney will give you the personal attention you deserve as we go over all your options for pursuing compensation.

Even the safest drivers in the most solid cars are no match for the threat of an out-of-control tractor-trailer or other heavyweight truck barreling at them. Unfortunately, everyday drivers who are tangled in collisions with these hefty trucks can suffer extremely serious and catastrophic injuries. Truck accident victims often face a lifetime of pain and suffering due to traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, and severe bone fractures. At The Wilhite Law Firm, our personal injury attorneys have extensive experience representing victims in these complex cases. We will go over all the details of your truck accident and explore your various options for seeking compensation.

With pleasant weather and great views, Colorado is a motorcyclist’s dream. However, that dream can quickly turn into a nightmare when fellow drivers are careless or negligent. In Lakewood and throughout Colorado, motorcyclists are some of the most vulnerable people on the road, and they can suffer serious, life-threatening injuries in crashes with much larger, heavier vehicles. The personal injury attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm have earned a reputation for watching out for motorcyclists — both in the courtroom and on the roads. If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident due to someone else’s negligence and are struggling to recover from your injuries, contact us today to see if you may be entitled to compensation.

There’s nothing like a brisk walk or bike ride to get the heart pumping. Unfortunately, careless drivers can make the streets of Lakewood dangerous places for pedestrians and bicyclists. Crashes involving pedestrians or people riding bikes can be horrific, and the resulting injuries can forever change the victim’s life. The experienced personal injury attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm are adept at handling these sensitive and often very complicated claims. If you are coping with serious injuries from a pedestrian or bicycle accident, contact our attorneys today to review your case and identify your options for seeking compensation.

We often take for granted that if a medicine is given to us by a doctor or sold on the shelf at the store, it is safe. However, that is not always true. Unexpected and unreported side effects can leave patients seriously injured. If you have taken a dangerous medication and suffered from unexplained side effects, contact the personal injury attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm to tell us about your experience. We may be able to seek compensation for the resulting injuries.

Although all goods sold in the United States are supposed to be subject to rigorous safety testing, sometimes dangerous or defective products make their way onto store shelves. When those dangerous products cause serious injuries or harm to consumers, anyone in the chain of distribution may be held accountable. This includes the companies that designed, manufactured, distributed, and sold the dangerous product. Product liability cases are often extremely complex, and resourceful companies will put up an aggressive defense to avoid compensating you for your injuries. However, the product liability attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm are well-versed in these types of cases and will fight hard to seek justice for you. Contact us now for a free consultation on your case.

You shouldn’t have to risk injury when stepping into a building or other place of business. In fact, those who own or occupy such facilities have a duty to keep them in reasonably safe condition for that very reason. Failure to maintain a standard of safety can lead to slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents that result in serious injuries. These types of cases involving dangerous property conditions are known as “premises liability” claims. The personal injury attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm have extensive experience representing people who have slipped or tripped and been injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. Contact us today to explore your legal options for pursuing compensation.

Not many people are financially prepared for a workplace accident that leaves them injured and unable to earn a living. And although workers’ compensation is supposed to kick in and provide benefits for injured workers to help cover medical bills and lost wages, that’s not always an easy process. Unfortunately, in some cases, workers may be denied benefits or may not receive enough to cover their basic living expenses. That’s where The Wilhite Law Firm steps in. Our workplace injury attorneys are extremely knowledgeable about the workers’ compensation system and can help you pursue the benefits you deserve. Our attorneys can also go over the details of your workplace accident to identify other options for seeking compensation.

To the frustration of many people in Lakewood and across the United States who are in desperate need of Social Security Disability benefits, the majority of applications are rejected the first time – even when they are valid. With the help of the disability benefits lawyers at The Wilhite Law Firm, though, you can make your way through this complicated system and demand the SSD benefits you deserve. At our firm, we feel it’s our duty to hold government agencies accountable and pursue proper treatment for injured and disabled people. When you are ready for help with your SSD benefits, we will review your claim and talk through all your options at no cost to you.

For those who have bravely served our country, it can feel like a slap in the face to have to jump through hoops to apply for disability benefits through the Veterans Administration. To make matters worse, in many cases, the initial amount of benefits granted is too low. The VA disability benefit attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm are proud to represent local veterans in their fight for benefits. Even if your disability is not connected to your service, you may still be entitled to VA disability benefits. Contact us today to discuss your options.

Losing a loved one unexpectedly can throw your world into chaos, especially when another person’s negligence was to blame. At The Wilhite Law Firm, we understand that nothing can erase the pain that comes with the unexpected loss of a loved one. However, we may be able to help ease the financial burden by seeking justice through a wrongful death claim. The experienced and compassionate attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm are here for you in this time of need. We stand ready to offer legal assistance to local residents who are grieving the loss of a loved one due to someone else’s negligence.

What To Expect When You Contact Our Law Firm

If you have been the victim of an accident and are already dealing with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and adversarial insurance companies, you will be relieved to find compassionate attorneys and an attentive legal team ready to assist you at The Wilhite Law Firm.

Our professional legal team will start with a free consultation, where we will ask you to tell us your story from the beginning, so we can get all the details, review your claim, and offer advice about your legal right to compensation. Our attorneys will give you honest feedback about your case, and we’ll explore with you how best to proceed. Please know that we won’t pressure you for payment upfront. In fact, there are no obligations for this free consultation.

Just like the medical field and insurance system, personal injury law is complicated, but our attorneys are on your side to make the process as smooth as possible for you.

When you decide to take the first step and put the Lakewood attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm to work for you, we will start building your personal injury case immediately. We will take steps to document the details of your accident, collect evidence, talk to witnesses, and enlist the help of investigators, accident reconstructionists, medical experts, and other specialists to make sure we thoroughly understand your case.

As your case progresses, you can trust that we will keep you up to date on the latest developments. Our personal injury lawyers will also work to ease your burden by taking over all communication with insurers and other parties who may be held responsible for compensating you.

Along the way, you won’t need to worry about getting together money to pay attorneys’ fees upfront. The Wilhite Law Firm handles virtually all personal injury claims on what’s referred to as a “contingency fee basis.” That means our personal injury clients do not pay upfront for legal services. Instead, our fee is typically taken as a percentage of your recovery, if and when we recover compensation for you.
