Whenever the insurance companies refuse to discuss reasonable terms, Mr. Finegan will be there to fight for you.

- Car Accidents

Whether you suffered a whiplash neck injury because of a "minor rear-end collision" or were left with catastrophic auto accident injuries after an SUV rollover, you need an attorney who will be a dedicated and fierce advocate for your rights. You need someone who can take on the giant insurance companies. You need a lawyer with the will and the ability to bring your case to trial, if necessary, to obtain a fair result.

In addition to his work as a personal injury lawyer, James L. Finegan is an avid motorcyclist himself. The resulting combination of motorcycling experience AND legal knowledge gives him more than just an affinity with motorcycle accident clients—it gives him a unique perspective and valuable insights that he uses to achieve results for the people and families he represents. If you were injured in a motorcycle 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 motorcycle or automobile insurance policy.

- Trucking Accidents

The law firm of James L. Finegan, PC, represents people in the Denver area and from all across Colorado in personal injury and wrongful death claims resulting from truck accidents. To achieve the best possible results, James L. Finegan, PC works with investigators, accident reconstruction specialists, and other professionals to gather and document critical evidence such as the driver's log, the vehicle's maintenance records, and accident debris. In truck accident cases, these are all critical sources of information than can enable attorney Finegan to determine and establish whether or not brake failure was caused by the vehicle being overloaded or whether the driver was simply negligent and had gone too long without sleep.

- Bus Accidents

If you suffered injuries or you lost a loved one in a bus accident, you are entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future therapy costs, and possible funeral expenses in addition to pain and suffering. Attorney James L. Finegan will ensure that both current and future needs are taken into account when determining a fair amount of compensation. With his more than 29 years of experience, you can be sure Mr. Finegan will do everything possible to obtain the best possible outcome.

If you were hit by a car, and the driver left the scene of the accident, do not be discouraged. Attorney James L. Finegan can obtain investigators, accident reconstructionists, and other experts to review the situation. He will do everything legally possible to locate the negligent driver and recover damages for you.

- Drunk Driving Accidents

An accident caused by a drunk driver is senseless, upsetting, and unforgiving. No one understands this more than the injured victims and their families. If you or a family member was injured in a drunk driving accident, you know the devastating effects first hand. You need an attorney who understands the effects, as well, and who can advocate for your rights. Attorney Finegan's experience helps his clients recover damages beyond those for injuries alone. In any DUI accident case, you may be able to file a claim against the establishment that served the alcohol ("dram shop" liability). In addition, you could collect punitive damages to deter the driver from drinking and driving again. Attorney Finegan will explain your legal options and seek the best possible outcome for you.

- Uninsured Motorist Claims

As your lawyer, Mr. Finegan can file a First-Party claim—a liability claim on your own insurance policy—in order to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, physical impairment, and pain and suffering that were not covered if the other driver didn't have insurance or was underinsured. If you purchased uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage on your policy, you have a legal right to have medical care and certain other losses covered by your insurer. If the other driver had insufficient insurance or no insurance at all, car accident attorney James L. Finegan will fight hard to make sure that your rights are protected.

- Unsafe Premises / Slip and Fall Accidents

Property owners have rights. They also have obligations and responsibilities, one of which is to provide for the safety of people who may use it. If you have been injured because of unsafe conditions on either public or private property, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your losses. Let Mr. Finegan protect your rights.

He has helped many Coloradans who have been in the difficult position you are in right now and he can help you too.

- Medical Malpractice

Dealing with the emotional, physical, and financial aftermath of a physician's or hospital's mistake can be challenging. Medical providers and their insurance companies are looking out for their own interests, not yours. As your advocate, James L. Finegan will fight to see that you get compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering. He has helped thousands of people in Colorado over the last 29 years and he can help you too.

- Catastrophic Injuries

Broken bones are one thing, but when those bones happen to be vertebrae, it is something else entirely. The fact is, some injuries are more serious than others and they require that more care be taken in determining their true cost to the victims. If you or a family member has suffered a catastrophic personal injury, Mr. Finegan believes in your right to recover and will fight hard to make sure that you do.

- Brain & Spinal Cord Injuries

James L. Finegan has more than 29 years of experience handling catastrophic injuries.

He will fight to obtain this compensation through negotiations with the insurance company and your employer. And, if necessary, he will aggressively protect your rights in court.

If you suffer from serious burn injuries, attorney James L. Finegan can help you file a personal injury claim and recover the necessary money damages.

- Wrongful Death

If you have lost a loved one due to the actions of another person, Colorado's wrongful death statute allows you to recover compensation for losses such as medical bills, wages, future expected income, funeral costs, as well as other losses for the survivors. As a client, what you can count on is that attorney Finegan will spare no resources or effort in seeking the best possible outcome in your case. He has helped thousands of people in Colorado over the last 29 years and he can help you too.

- Workers' Compensation

The workers' compensation system in Colorado has complicated rules and procedures, as well as strict time limits. Failure to conform to these rules and deadlines may cause a victim to lose benefits or be ruled ineligible for benefits. We can help to protect your workers' compensation claim.

- Criminal Defense

James L. Finegan, PC is a personal injury, workers' compensation, and criminal defense law firm serving clients in the Denver metropolitan area and all across Colorado. The firm's founder and sole attorney, James L. Finegan, has represented people in criminal cases for over 29 years. He knows how to protect his clients’ rights and he will fight relentlessly in order to obtain the best possible results in your case.

- DWAI / DUI Charges

Convictions for drunk driving carry serious penalties — penalties that are harsher virtually every year. If you have been arrested and charged with driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while ability impaired (DWAI), make no further statements about the circumstances to anyone. With knowledgeable and experienced representation, DUI and DWAI cases can be successfully defended. The DUI / DWAI charge and related charges may be reduced through negotiation. Attorney James L. Finegan will fight hard to minimize the damages in your case and to prevent your driver's license suspension or revocation by representing you in the subsequent DMV hearing.

- Traffic Violations

James L. Finegan, PC provides experienced traffic violation defense to people in the Denver metropolitan area and throughout the state of Colorado. In the vast majority of cases, the firm can handle these matters on an affordable, flat fee basis and will work to lessen the charges or to keep your driving record completely clean.

- Domestic Violence

In addition to fines and the potential for jail time, a conviction on domestic violence charges can mean the loss of your right to own a firearm, the loss of your ability to operate certain types of businesses, and the loss of your child custody or visitation rights. Whether this is your first offense or not, attorney Finegan will do his best to negotiate reduced charges, a dismissal of all charges, or to get you into a first-time offender diversion program and domestic violence counseling.
