Attorney James L. Finegan Handles Even The Most Complex Vehicle Accidents

Mr. Finegan represents clients who have been  seriously injured or have  lost a loved one in any type of motor vehicle accident resulting from the negligence of another driver. There is nothing more devastating than being injured in a  car accident or receiving the news that a member of the family has died as the result of a wreck. The sudden impact of the injury or death can result in emotional and financial turmoil for years. When the accident was the result of misconduct on the part of a negligent or  drunk/drugged driver, the sense of injustice can be intolerable.

Why Choose Us?

Lakewood auto accident lawyer James L. Finegan has more than thirty years of legal experience handling personal injury cases in Colorado. Mr. Finegan is an experienced Lakewood auto accident attorney and handles the following types of accident cases:

  • Hit-and-run accidents and will investigate both finding the other driver and seeking compensation through uninsured motorist coverage
  • Truck accidents involving commercial drivers; during the process, Mr. Finegan will look into whether the accident involved poor maintenance, defects, hours driving violations, inadequate training or driver fatigue
  • Motorcycle accidents, which are especially important to attorney James L. Finegan, as he is a motorcycle rider himself and he understands what it means to be on the road and is sympathetic to motorcycle injuries changing that possibility
  • SUV rollovers and other  auto defects are often the cause of accidents, and it is important when filing a personal injury suit, to go after the responsible party, which sometimes can be the manufacturer rather than the other driver
  • Pedestrian and  bike accidents require an experienced lawyer in order to ensure proper care is taken to get fair compensation, especially when victims may not even own a car themselves and may lack uninsured or underinsured driver coverage
  • Complex cases involving multiple vehicles or mass transportation such as  buses that require an experienced Lakewood auto accident lawyer to navigate the best way through the multitudinous levels of insurance, liability and coverage

What Kind of Car Accident Cases Do We Handle?

Attorney James L. Finegan represents injury victims and surviving family members. He ensures that every client receives the kind of dedicated and skilled representation required to get the insurance company’s attention after a devastating car accident. His practice covers:

  • Multicar accidents: No matter what the cause of the accident, attorney James L. Finegan knows how to investigate the incident and prove negligence or even criminal violation of the law.
  • Drunk driving accidents: There are many layers to a DUI or DUID personal injury claim, but Mr. Finegan knows how to pursue these cases vigorously to get you and your family justice.
  • Uninsured or underinsured accidents: Too many drivers on the road do not have insurance, or do not have enough insurance to cover your real costs. Attorney James L. Finegan pursues compensation through uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, including hit-and-run accidents.

If you were injured in a car accident that was caused by an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you may be able to obtain compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses through your own automobile insurance policy.

What Compensation Am I Entitled To?

Under Colorado law, a person injured in a car accident caused by another driver’s negligence is entitled to seek compensation from the negligent driver’s insurance for medical costs, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. Even if it is determined you were partially responsible for causing the accident, damages may be sought up to the percentage of liability assigned to the other driver, over 50 percent.

Winning an appropriate settlement or jury verdict in a serious and catastrophic motor vehicle crash injury claim requires knowledge and experience working with complex medical and technical evidence. When necessary, Attorney James L. Finegan works with independent medical and life care specialists to determine the full extent of medical care and financial damages resulting from the injury.

Insurance Resolution Cases

Since Jan. 1, 2009, Colorado law requires all drivers to be offered medical payment coverage on their auto insurance policy. This is in addition to the usual bodily injury comprehensive coverage requirements that have been in effect for years. Many people who have stayed with their insurance company over the years are unaware of the medical payment coverage. Following a car accident requiring medical care, hospitals often bypass the auto insurance coverage and bill the injured party’s health insurance, which will require repayment out of any settlement the victim may receive in a lawsuit settlement.

If you are dealing with this situation and need help with your insurance resolution case, get in touch. Attorney James L. Finegan offers free consultations and handles all insurance resolution cases on a contingency fee basis. He charges attorneys’ fees as a reasonable percentage of the amount of money you receive in a final settlement or jury award. He handles everything, so you can get back to your life.
