Monument, CO Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

The parents of the injured child should retain a qualified, experienced personal injury attorney (such as myself) ASAP. There are numerous issues to deal with. An attorney can help deal with issues that are bound to arise - such as medical insurance, steering the child to appropriate medical care, and documenting the injury to ensure a fair monetary settlement from the proper parties' insurers.

You Should Retain an Attorney on a Contingency Fee Basis. Hiring an attorney on contingency means you pay nothing unless you win. Insurance companies rarely take unrepresented claimants seriously because they routinely offer lowball settlements under the guise of fairness. Experienced attorneys know the true value of your case and can maximize your recovery by referring you to qualified physicians who will properly diagnose your injuries. Beyond case value, attorneys also negotiate your medical bills and liens. Many settlements are subject to subrogation claims from insurance carriers who paid your medical benefits. Unrepresented parties are often blindsided when their insurer calls post-settlement asking how much they recovered, unaware that a portion of that money may legally belong to the lien holder. In summary this is not a do-it-yourself project. Do yourself a favor and retain an attorney on contingency fee. If you cannot find one, then you can reach out privately to one of us for assistance finding one in your state. 

If your facts are accurate, you may have a claim for malicious prosecution. I recommend that you consult with a personal injury attorney because a great deal more information will be needed to fully evaluate your claim.
