Medical malpractice is a leading cause of injury. Every year, preventable medical errors are involved in about 44,000 to 98,000 hospital deaths. At the Bendinelli Law Firm, we understand the complications and seriousness of an injury caused by medical malpractice, and we want to help you receive the compensation you need and deserve for a full recovery. We have a team of Denver personal injury lawyers who are passionate about defending your rights as a victim of medical malpractice or negligence.
Colorado state law requires the medical malpractice attorney to produce an expert to confirm, under oath, that the victim’s medical provider did not meet the standard of care required for that particular circumstance.
In addition, a detailed medical history of the victim of medical malpractice must be obtained, including the names of all physicians and hospitals that provided medical treatment to the victim.

Our Denver medical malpractice lawyers work with your physicians to document the extent of your injuries to maximize the value of your medical malpractice claim. We work with medical experts to build a case that supports our allegations that you deserve full compensation for your financial losses, physical injuries, and non-economic losses (pain and suffering).
While money cannot undo the damage that has been done to you by a trusted physician or medical provider, a monetary award can reimburse victims for financial losses and help them continue to recover from the consequences of medical malpractice.
If you suspect that you or a family member has been injured because of medical malpractice, protect your health. Seek immediate medical attention to minimize the severity of your injuries and prevent health conditions from worsening, if possible.
Keep copies of all documents you receive from your physician and any other health care providers you might visit. Make a list of all doctors and health care providers and facilities that you have received treatment from since the beginning of your condition. This list helps your lawyer contact each provider to obtain medical records and evidence.
Have someone attend appointments with you to help you take notes about what is said during the appointment. Careful notes can help identify discrepancies in your medical records.
