Burns, CO Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

They should immediately contact an experienced personal injury attorney to further inquire into the precautions and supervision in running the event. Most personal injury attorney, including our firm, offer a free, no obligation initial consultation.

You should definitely not sign if the insurance company is the carrier for the at fault driver. If it is your own company, you may need to sign for compensation under either medical payments coverage (some states it is called "PIP) or a UM/UIM claim. Otherwise, they have no right to your medical records.

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.
