Our Personal Injury Lawyer Practice Areas

It doesn’t matter how careful a driver you are; you can’t control the actions of others. Each year in Thornton and throughout Colorado, thousands of people are hurt in car accidents that could have possibly been prevented. Distracted and dangerous drivers put the lives of everyone on the road at risk. For three decades, The Wilhite Law Firm has fought for the rights of crash victims who are in desperate need of compensation for their injuries. Our accomplished car accident attorneys have built their careers on a heritage of justice for our clients. We treat every client with the utmost respect and compassion, so if you are a car accident victim trying to cope with debilitating injuries, contact us today to discuss your options for seeking compensation.

The legal weight for an 18-wheeler is 80,000 pounds. Compare that to the average 4,000-pound car, and it’s obvious why truck accidents can cause such catastrophic injuries. Victims of truck accidents often face an uphill battle to “get back to normal,” and many struggle with serious, life-altering injuries such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and spinal cord injuries (SCI). The truck accident lawyers at The Wilhite Law Firm understand the complications these victims are facing, and we are dedicated to pursuing justice for them. If you have suffered injuries in a truck accident, contact us today to review the details of your case and talk about how you may be able to seek compensation.

With the beautiful backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, Thornton and the other Colorado cities sprinkled along the I-25 corridor are picturesque places to ride a motorcycle. Yet the feeling of freedom that comes with riding on the open road can be stolen in an instant by a careless or negligent driver. When a motorcyclist is hit by a much larger, heavier vehicle, the resulting injuries can be devastating. At The Wilhite Law Firm, we have represented motorcycle accident victims throughout Colorado for decades, and we demand respect for their rights and compensation for their injuries. If you or a loved one is coping with injuries after a motorcycle accident, contact our legal team now.

In Thornton, we pride ourselves on our open spaces and our active, outdoor lifestyles. In fact, our city is pleased to offer 20 miles of on-street bike lanes for those who want to save on gas and let their legs do the work. However, no amount of planning could prepare a bicyclist or pedestrian for a careless or negligent driver. Accidents involving pedestrians or bicyclists can lead to some of the most serious injuries, and many victims may never recover. These types of personal injury cases require a special type of lawyer, one who understands the devastating nature of the accident and is prepared to handle these often complicated claims. If you are dealing with injuries from a bicycle or pedestrian accident, contact our firm now to discuss how we may be able to seek compensation for you.

When you enter a building or step onto a commercial property, you have a right to assume the business owner maintains a reasonable standard of safety. If not, serious injuries such as those suffered in slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents can occur. The skilled premises liability attorneys and slip and fall lawyers at The Wilhite Law Firm have extensive experience investigating these types of accidents and representing people who have been hurt due to unsafe property conditions. Contact us now to talk about how we may be able to seek compensation for your injuries.

When an injury on the job leaves you unable to work, the pressure to get back on your feet and earn a paycheck can be extreme. Workers’ compensation insurance is designed to cover you during times like this and provide benefits to help with doctor bills and lost wages. However, securing benefits is not always as easy as it should be. Sometimes you need the help of an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer to step in and fight for your rights. At The Wilhite Law Firm, our attorneys have extensive experience navigating the complex workers’ compensation system, and we will pursue full and fair compensation for your injury.

To many people who have spent years working and paying into the Social Security system, it can be a shock to be denied Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits in their time of need. Yet in Thornton and across the United States, many initial applications are rejected. That’s when you should enlist the assistance of a social security disability benefits lawyer at The Wilhite Law Firm. Our attorneys understand the ins and outs of the SSD system and can help you pursue the benefits you need and deserve. Contact us today to go over your claim and decide the next step to take in your pursuit of SSD benefits.

At The Wilhite Law Firm, we are proud to represent those Thornton residents who bravely served our country.

Contact us now to talk about what benefits you may be entitled to.

It’s not just dangerous drugs that make their way onto store shelves. Despite rigorous safety testing, dangerous and defective products of all types wind up in the hands of unsuspecting consumers. And when an injury results from the use of such dangerous products, any company involved in the chain of distribution could be held responsible. If you’re a Thornton resident who has been hurt by a dangerous or defective product, you may be able to pursue compensation through a product liability lawsuit. Contact the legal team at The Wilhite Law Firm to discuss the details of your case and review your options for seeking compensation for your injuries.

If a drug is prescribed by a doctor or offered in an over-the-counter form at a store, we usually assume it’s safe. Unfortunately, surprise side effects and unexpected interactions can cause serious injuries. Don’t discount your injuries if you have been hurt by a dangerous drug. Contact The Wilhite Law Firm today so we can discuss what happened to you. Drug manufacturers have a duty to produce safe products and warn about side effects, and our lawyers have a duty to protect our clients.

When you lose a loved one, it often feels like a part of you is lost, too. Especially when the loss was unexpected and due to someone else’s negligence, it’s all you can do sometimes to just get through the day. At The Wilhite Law Firm, our compassionate wrongful death attorneys are sensitive to the pain you are experiencing, and we want to help. We know that funeral expenses and the loss of a household income can weigh heavily on a family, so we may recommend easing the burden by filing a wrongful death claim. If you are a Thornton resident who has lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, give us a call or contact us online to schedule a time to discuss your situation.

What To Expect When You Contact Our Law Firm

For people who have already been traumatized by an accident resulting in serious injury, talking through your case with a compassionate personal injury lawyer may give you hope. Many of our clients are relieved to learn about their options for pursuing compensation.

The process begins with a free, no-obligation consultation, where we will go over all the details of your case and ask you questions about the accident and your injuries. Our professional legal team will talk through the options you may have for seeking compensation. At this initial consultation, you do not have to worry about being pressed for payment. We consider it part of our duty to the community to help injured people understand their rights.

You may have already started learning the hard way that insurance systems, government agencies, and hospital billing departments can be complicated to deal with. The laws regarding personal injury are also complicated, but the difference is that our attorneys are committed to working with you, not against you.

At the end of your initial consultation, we will discuss how to proceed. When you make the decision to put your trust in the personal injury attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm, we will promptly get to work on your case. Our team will start by documenting everything we can about your accident. This means requesting any evidence collected by law enforcement or insurance investigators, interviewing witnesses, reviewing medical records, and even reconstructing the accident scene to make sure we have a thorough understanding of your case.

Once we take on your personal injury case, our Thornton lawyers will make contact with insurers or the other parties who may be responsible for damages. You will no longer have to worry about arguing over compensation — that’s our job.

We know that medical bills can pile up, especially if your injury has kept you out of work, so don’t worry about having the money to pay us to get started on your case. Our firm takes on a majority of personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning that if and when we collect compensation for your claim, you generally pay us a fee that is calculated based on the amount you recover.
