Represented clients at all phases and levels of criminal trial and administrative proceedings.
• DUI/DWI
  There are many reasons why car accidents occur, and victims who are injured in collisions may pursue compensation from negligent drivers who caused them harm. While there are many ways that drivers may act negligently or carelessly, one of the most dangerous things any person can do is to drive while they are intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. Unfortunately, even though all drivers are aware of the dangers of drunk driving, many people still choose to get behind the wheel after they have been drinking. Drivers who violate the law in this manner may be held liable for injuries or other damages that are inflicted in motor vehicle collisions.
• Wrongful Death
  Driving a commercial truck can be a difficult job. Truck drivers will need to receive training and special licenses to ensure that they can operate these large, heavy vehicles safely. Errors made while driving 18-wheelers or other commercial vehicles can have deadly results, and truck accidents may result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. Truck drivers must remain fully alert, aware of all issues on the road or related to their vehicles that may affect them, and in control of their trucks at all times. However, there are multiple factors that may affect these drivers' ability to drive safely, including driver fatigue and other health concerns. One of the most dangerous issues that affects the safety of everyone on the road is drug and alcohol use by truck drivers.
• Traffic Violations
  Every day, a variety of vehicles share Colorado's roadways, including 18-wheelers, passenger sedans, sports cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles. Unpredictable weather conditions, distractions such as texting and cell phone use, drug or alcohol intoxication, traffic violations, and other issues can create dangerous situations that affect everyone on the road. However, motorcyclists are much more likely to be seriously injured in a collision, even when they wear helmets and follow every possible safety precaution. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are an average of more than 100,000 motorcycle accidents across the United States each year, including around 75,000 accidents resulting in injuries and 3,000 accidents that are fatal.
• Sex Crimes
  At The Gold Law Firm, our sexual assault victims' rights attorneys are dedicated to helping the survivors of sexual assault obtain justice against their abusers. Rarely does assault happen in a vacuum. All too often, organizations create a culture that enables powerful people in that organization to abuse the power they wield. When a company or other type of organization protects and shelters abusers by covering up or ignoring their behavior, they can and should be held accountable.
• Misdemeanors
  The state of Colorado prohibits people from using cell phones to send text messages or to browse websites or social media apps while driving. Drivers over the age of 18 may use cell phones to make calls, but those who are under 18 are prohibited from using phones while operating a vehicle. A violation of the texting and driving law is a misdemeanor traffic offense, and a person may receive a $300 ticket, and four points will be added to their driver's license. If a violation results in someone else's bodily injury or death, a person may be charged with a more serious misdemeanor traffic offense, and they may be sentenced to between 10 days and one year in jail and fined between $300 and $1,000.
• Drug Crimes
  It was also released days after the accident that Taito, the driver of the tractor-trailer, has an extensive criminal record that included drug possession. Despite Taito's claims of not being under the influence at the time of the crash, the existing criminal record will no doubt be cause for increased scrutiny from the investigators of the accident.
• Assault
• Murder
  A family may be fully compensated for all of the economic damages they have experienced. However, Colorado law places a cap on non-economic damages. This amount is regularly updated to account for inflation. For wrongful death claims made before January 1, 2024, the limit for non-economic damages is $598,350. However, this limit does not apply in situations involving a "felonious killing" in which a person committed murder or manslaughter.
• Manslaughter

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  As your attorneys, we will work to ensure that you receive adequate compensation to cover medical expenses, rehabilitation expenses, and any long-term care that you might need in the future. In addition to obtaining compensation for your injuries, your personal injury attorney can assist you in filing for disability benefits or workers' compensation if it is appropriate.
• Sexual Harassment
  Workplace assaults and harassment — Much of people's time is spent in the workplace, and because of the inherent power structure built into most work environments, sexual harassment is a common problem. Harassment can create a hostile work environment, and it can sometimes lead to assault. If you or a loved one have been sexually harassed or assaulted at work, and the company you work for failed to address the problem or protect your legal rights, we can help.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  There are a variety of different types of injury cases that fall under the umbrella of premises liability. These situations involve injuries that occurred while a person was on property owned by someone else and the property owner or an agent who was in control of the property was fully or partially responsible. Injuries that take place at amusement parks often fit these requirements, and they may occur because patrons were put at risk of injury due to negligence by the park owner or operator. If hazards at an amusement park led people to suffer harm, or if patrons were not properly warned about the potential risks that affected them, victims may be able to receive compensation for their injuries.
• Property Damage
  The Gold Law Firm provides representation to victims of multiple types of car accidents, and we work to ensure that those who have suffered injuries or property damage are fully compensated. Even though rear-end collisions are often considered to be minor, they can still lead to multiple types of injuries, and victims may struggle to recover and return to their normal lives. We will make sure victims receive the proper insurance coverage in these cases, and if necessary, we can pursue lawsuits against negligent drivers or other liable parties to ensure that a person will have the financial resources they need following an accident.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  Injuries can occur in a wide variety of situations, and they can range from relatively minor issues to severe bodily harm. Some injuries can be especially harmful, and they can result in chronic medical conditions, permanent disabilities, ongoing psychological trauma, and other issues that may have a significant impact on a person's quality of life, their relationships with others, their ability to continue working, and nearly every other aspect of their life. Those who have suffered catastrophic injuries because of someone else's negligence will need to work with a personal injury lawyer to determine how to proceed as they pursue financial compensation.
• Medical Malpractice
  When the negligence of others results in the death of a loved one, the surviving family members may be able to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. There are a wide variety of situations where wrongful deaths can occur, including car accidents, truck accidents, aviation accidents, defective products, workplace accidents, or medical malpractice. Generally, whenever a person is killed because of someone else's negligence, the person or parties who were responsible for the death may be held liable. Survivors may be entitled to compensation for their losses, and multiple types of damages may be available.
• Auto Accidents
• Slip and Fall Injury
  During the summer, many people enjoy spending time at swimming pools and water parks. While these activities can be fun for everyone involved while allowing people to cool off during hot weather, they can also be dangerous. There are a variety of different types of injuries that can occur, including drownings and slip and fall injuries. When these injuries are caused by the negligence of a pool's or water park's owner or operator, victims may pursue compensation through a premises liability lawsuit. By understanding the potential causes of injuries and the types of negligence that may put people at risk, victims and their family members can determine the best ways to protect their rights to receive financial compensation for their damages.
