Delta County, CO Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

I am very sorry to hear about your son. You may have a claim against the military, but perhaps a more efficient road would be to go after the bar for negligence for failing to protect patrons against what sounds like "foreseeable" criminal conduct. These are tough cases, but they can be won. You need to consult with a highly qualified and experienced attorney because this will be a difficult case to prove in terms of liability. Good luck to you.

The work injury in the ditch sounds like a workers compensation claim so you should seek out that type of lawyer, as it is a specialized area of the law.  The gunshot is unclear to me when it occured or who shot you so I cannot commnt other than to say there are time periods within which a case has to be brought and depending on when this occured, it may be too late.  As to the police hitting you with a baton, Colorado requires that a notice be sent to the governing body for the place the police work (like to the City Attorney or County commissioners, etc.), within 182 days of the incident before a lawsuit can be brought. There may be a way around that but even then lawsuits have to be brought within certain time periods and in Colorado to sue a police agency I beleive it normally has to be filed within one year of the incident.  BUT you could talk to a civil rights lawyer about that one, to get more specific insights.  Good luck.

Any injuries along with any related claims and damages may only be recovered from the workers compensation carrier. If the injury you sustained was on duty, your children may not file a lawsuit against the employer because any claim by them arises out of the injury that was on duty. They may not file a separate claim for personal injury.
