Bloch & Chapleau handles all
types of personal injury cases including specifically the following:
AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENTS
We have a long history of representing
people who are injured in auto and motorcycle accidents
-
Since the abolishment of PIP, and the
new auto injury law established in Colorado in July, 2003, hiring an
experienced law firm is more important than ever. The
substantial benefits to injured people that were previously provided
under the PIP statute no longer exist. Therefore dealing with
the health care and medical providers becomes that much more
critical and complex.
-
Under the new auto injury statute, there
is no longer a need to demonstrate the threshold of $2,500 in
medical bills prior to having a claim against the at-fault driver.
-
It is this firm's philosophy that the
sooner an injured person receives legal assistance, the better the
chances are for a substantial recovery.
SKI AND RECREATIONAL ACCIDENTS
We are one of the few firms in Colorado
that has extensive experience in ski/snowboard and other recreational
related injuries.
-
In any ski accident, the primary
question is whether the injury was related to a risk which the skier
assumed
-
Collisions between skiers/snowboarders
present unique types of cases. Collisions are becoming the
most frequently litigated ski accident cases in the U.S.
-
Most lift-related injuries occur while
the skier is getting on or off of a lift. Such "loading and
unloading" accidents are not considered an inherent risk of skiing
-
We have successfully litigated and
received substantial awards including a case in which a jury awarded
punitive damages against Vail Resorts for failing to supervise train
lift operators.
INSURANCE LITIGATION
We have extensive experience in
representing people against insurance companies which fail to pay
contractual benefits to an insured
-
We have successfully litigated cases in
which our clients received substantial punitive damages against
insurance companies for their failures to pay benefits to the
insured.
-
In LaCerra v. State Farm,
we successfully proved bad faith and also outrageous conduct against
State Farm.
