Chalat Hatten & Koupal Practice Areas

Our Focus - Catastrophic Injuries

Chalat Hatten & Koupal commands a unique position in the practice of Colorado personal injury law. We are exclusively plaintiffs’ personal injury lawyers representing individuals with catastrophic injuries. Our cases involve severe orthopedic injuries, brain trauma, traumatic amputations or wrongful death. The scope of our practice includes ski accidents, medical malpractice claims, motor vehicle accidents and general negligence – the common element is the severity of the injuries. We also have great experience in handling complex insurance issues and successfully pursuing multiple sources of coverage. We do not advertise for the hundreds of minor motor vehicle accidents, nor do we dilute our focus with worker’s compensation claims or family law matters.

We are a small, dedicated group of experienced attorneys who remain accessible to our clients - you will not be "handed off" to a paralegal in our firm, but will be provided personal, individual attention from your lawyer. The benefits of this approach are very apparent from our track record earned by representing victims of serious personal injuries from cases such as ski accident, car accident, medical malpractice, accident-related traumatic brain injury, and wrongful death.

The areas of law in which we have extensive experience are:

Types of Injuries

Many accidents result in such significant personal injuries that the injury to the victim is the defining factor, such as spinal cord injuries or birth injuries.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Whether a single-vehicle accident, a multi-vehicle accident or one involving a pedestrian or cyclist, each motor vehicle accident requires attention to the facts of the accident, the applicable laws and the insurance coverage available.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice often occurs when a physician or hospital makes an error in the diagnosis, treatment or management of a patient's illness.

Ski Accidents

The threshold question in a ski case is whether the injury or death was related to a risk that the skier assumed. The answer not only depends on the facts of the accident, but also on the applicable state law.

Catastrophic Accidents

Our world is filled with machines and mechanical equipment, much of it powered by electricity or natural gas. And when a machine or piece of equipment malfunctions, catastrophic injuries can result.

Accidents Away From Home

As more people spend free time pursuing recreational and leisure activities, the risk of injury also increases. You may be injured by an unsafe physical condition, such as a slip and fall, or the injury may arise because of the failure to adhere to safety standards of a sport.
