Personal Injury & Wrongful Death
At Coppola & Marlin, we focus exclusively on personal injury and insurance matters. As a result, we are well versed in the laws, procedures, and remedies available to our clients. Every case is unique, and we take the time to consider the particular factors and injuries involved in each case in an effort to reach the best possible outcome.
Aviation Accidents
Coppola & Marlin has held a long-standing interest in claims arising from aviation accidents. These cases often involve harrowing facts and complex questions of law. The firm brings its expertise to bear upon such issues as wake turbulence, visual flight rules, pilot error, tower communications, and mechanical failures.
Insurance Company Bad Faith
Under Colorado law, an insurance company owes a duty of good faith and fair dealing to its insureds. This means that when an insurance company puts its own interests above those of its clientele, the company may become liable for damages beyond those of an average contract dispute. Insurance bad faith can occur in a number of situations, and can even give rise to claims under Colorado's Consumer Protection Act.
Medical Malpractice
In August 2004, the healthcare quality company HealthGrades released a study of 37 million patient records. The results were astounding: an average of 195,000 people in the United States died due to potentially preventable, in-hospital medical errors in each of the years 2000, 2001, and 2002. Coppola & Marlin handles a variety of medical malpractice claims including misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, failure to treat, surgical mistakes, and anesthetic errors.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
The World Health Organization estimates that 1.2 million people are killed in car crashes every year. As many as 50 million are injured. Car accidents can be emotionally and economically devastating. Coppola & Marlin offers a wide range of experience in claims related to motor vehicle accidents, including claims involving semi truck crashes, motorcycle accidents, and collisions with cyclists and pedestrians.
Premises Liability
Whether it be an item teetering precariously on a shelf, a slippery substance in an aisle, or a hazardously uneven walkway, each landowner must take reasonable steps to protect its invitees from dangers on its premises.
Products Liability
Over the years, Coppola & Marlin has handled a number of large products liability cases, including recent claims against Ford Motor Company, Bridgestone Corporation, and Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire.
Semi Truck Crashes
The World Health Organization estimates that 1.2 million people are killed in automobile collisions every year. As many as 50 million are injured. Car accidents can be emotionally and economically devastating. Coppola & Marlin offers a wide range of experience in claims related to motor vehicle accidents, including claims involving semi truck crashes, motorcycle accidents, and collisions with cyclists and pedestrians.
Spinal Cord Injury & Traumatic Brain Injury
Injuries to the central nervous system require special attention and consideration. At Coppola & Marlin, we have ample experience with these cases, and are familiar with both the medical and the personal issues involved.
Workers' Compensation
Workplace accidents are inevitable. Coppola & Marlin offers services related to workers' compensation claims and on-the-job injuries.
Dog Bite Injuries
Despite Colorado's legislative efforts to cut down on the incidence of vicious attacks, dog bites continue to be the source of some of the most terrifying injuries in this State. Unfortunately, the victims of these attacks are often children. Although we all enjoy the right to raise and shelter our pets, each pet owner owes a duty to reasonably ensure the safety of others. The damages arising from a dog attack can be far-ranging, and can include such factors as permanent scarring and long-term emotional distress.
