Heidi Tanner took over our account and aggressively pursued our case against the insurance company. She stayed in contact with us about our medical treatments and followed up with the various doctors.The adjusters for the insurance companies were giving us the run around for a settlement and the time frame in which we had to settle. To protect us, she filed a lawsuit in Federal Court after which she brought in a mediator and resolved the case. I was impressed by her tenaciousness and mediation skills. Heidi is very quick and does not allow anyone to run over her or her clients. I would highly recommend Heidi and the Paul Wilkinson Firm.

I love my attorney Heidi Tanner. On the onset, I did not expect a lot for my accident, but I believe she helped me get a maximum settlement. I moved out of state the year before my settlement. Amid the COVID-19 crisis, we stayed in constant communication via email, phone calls and Zoom. I highly recommend Heidi and the Paul Wilkerson Law Firm.

I can't say enough about Paul and his team. I was in a motorcycle accident and spent quite a bit of time fighting with insurance, health care, towing companies etc... As soon as they took my case, they handled everything. Matthew in specific was terrific and attentive. I needed help dealing with all the issues and they were there for me. That accident turned my life upside down. Paul and his team took care of everything they could while I concentrated on healing and getting back to work. Thank you all!

I highly recommend Heidi Tanner! I am so thankful she took my case. I was with another law firm for my car accident and was very unhappy with the lack of work being done on my case. So I switched to Paul Wilkinson and from the moment Heidi took my case I was in good hands! She fought hard for me to get the best settlement and communicated with me every step of the way! You won't be disappointed!

I was referred to this law firm, and specifically Jonathan Stine by a friend of mine. Jonathan was amazingly professional, direct, and extremely helpful. I had a mid sized case, and it was Jonathan, and his assistant Shanna's hard work that enabled me to recover my losses from the accident, and pay my medical bills. I can't express how much they helped me through this amazingly confusing process of dealing with an insurance company. I recommend The Paul WIlkinson Law Firm, and specifically Jonathan Stine to anyone who has to deal with an insurance company after an accident.

Heidi agreed to take my case after another firm turned me down due to statue of limitation on my case expiring shortly (under 1 week by the time Heidi took my case). The staff did excellent job filing everything by deadline. Heidi was great on setting clear expectations: what is reasonable expectation on settlement, how much expenses could run for going to trial etc. Both Heidi and her staff were respectful of my wishes (I preferred communication by email, not phone). Overall content with outcome, and feel better educated in case of a future such case should something happen again

In 2016, I was involved in a car accident. I though I was not going to get the help I needed. I was wrong. Heidi was very helpful. She made sure I was receiving the medical help I needed and checked in with me to make sure all was getting taken care of. I am very pleased with how determined she was to help me. Thanks for your hard work.

I had several injury's and surgery's. I could not ask for a better out come.

I had a great experience at The Paul Wilkinson Law Firm. They really fought for me. I had a low impact vehicle collision that has caused me severe discomfort and pain in my back for the last three years. I went to a different law firm previous to The Paul Wilkinson Law Firm and they thought that my case wasn't worth pursuing because as they put it, "there isn't enough property damage to your vehicle." Well I was damaged and the previous law firm didn't care, they only cared about making money. My lawyer took the time to understand my injuries and made sure the insurance company for the guy who hit me didn't get away with not compensating me for my medical bills and injury treatment. I would recommend Mrs. Tanner if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to fight for your rights to fair treatment from opposing insurance companies.

Last year I was involved in a automobile car accident that changed my life. After a rough start with attorneys Heidi Tanner took over my case. I was very impressed with her attentiveness and speed to answer any questions I had. She was sympathetic and honest. I appreciate everything that her and Anna did to help ease the stress of my medical bills. They even got me a pretty hefty settlement. Thank you both so much!

The Paul Walkinson Law Firm are very friendly to work with. Over the past four years of my case they have always been there to comfort my family through the case as well as answering questions. When I was 14 years old I was in an ATV accident and we were able to settle the case recently with a lot of hard work and dedication. We had some ups and downs with my case but they were able to push through and resolve them. Everyone in the Law Firm is super friendly and always are able to help. Highly recommend!

After my car accident in December 2017 I was not interested in dealing with insurance on my own, especially right before the holidays. I reached out to other firms and felt like I was not a priority. At this time I began working with Jonathan Stine and Shanna Crain at the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm. Working with him and Shanna has been an amazing process. The day I sat down with Johnathan he made me feel like a priority. They have a personal touch that make someone who is not familiar with legal processes feel comfortable. He was honest and fair and made me feel like he was on my team all the way. They kept me up to date throughout the process and fought for me when the Insurance company pushed back. I am beyond happy with the results, this team is amazing!

Jon Stine at the Paul Wilkinson law firm is truly one of the best in this business. Unfortunately, anytime someone needs him and his services, they normally are not in a good place physically, mentally or emotionally. Jon is able to make a bad situation into as smooth of a process as it can be when it comes to car accidents. He is not only knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to helping his clients but he truly goes to bat for them. He and his team truly only want the best outcome for you as the client. He helped me when I needed him the most. Jon is honest and upfront and will tell you what is realistic. All of the qualities are exactly what you need when hiring an attorney. Honest, strong, genuine and fair. They are so good at what they even do I have even referred a handful of my clients to him when they are in need and they have only said positive things about their experience. Going to any other law firm would be a huge mistake!!

I owe a lot of Gratitude to The Paul Wilkinson Law Firm. Paul & Jonathan absolutely did not have to take my case considering we were at the very end of being able to file and push forward. I was in an accident in 2014. A driver that was texting and driving rear-ended my mother and I at a stoplight. I wasn’t sure how I was going to proceed considering I went to the hospital in an ambulance. I figured I would take care of the case myself and within a couple of months I met a guy named Michael Sawaya. Yes THE Micheal Sawaya. The made for “TV” Attorney. Always telling us how much they care from beginning to end about each and everyone of their clients. Believe me The Sawaya Law Firm is just that. “ALL FLUFF” sounds great on TV let me tell you about my experience with the Sawaya Law Firm. Let me start with the fact that I have been off and on with a 28 year Substance Abuse Addiction. At the time of the accident I had been clean and sober for about a year. In 2017 almost 4 years clean and sober I had a relapse. After several procedures and finding out that I was 28% impaired on my right hand side of my body due to nerve damage caused by the other driver of our accident. The only reason that the Sawaya Law firm was very excited to take on my case was because there was $250,000 coverage on the other drivers insurance. The maximum they could go after. After the fact that in 2017 I got into legal trouble personally due to my addiction. A simple possession charge. Since that’s what addicts and alcoholics do. Not saying all people in recovery relapse but yes that is part of my story. After acquiring $101,000.00 in medical bills. Being sent from this doctor to that doctor to that neurologist to physical therapy. I just wasn’t getting any better. The Sawaya Law Firm only cared about how much money they were going to put into their pocket and really didn’t give a damn about me and my injuries or bills.After working just over three and a half years on this case. I was called to the Sawaya Law firm only to be told that they were dropping my case because they felt they weren’t going to be able to earn enough money to go after the case. I was absolutely floored. My personal substance-abuse and legal issues had nothing to do with the fact that the other driver crashed into my mother and I and caused a lifetime damage to me. At the same time that I was clean and sober. But low and behold my case wasn’t made for TV and the Sawaya Law Firm dropped me like a hot potato.Not knowing exactly what I was going to do with over $100,000 in medical bills hanging over my head. They really offered no assistance to figure the situation out literally dropping my case within weeks before deadlines that were required for me to seek any kind of support or assistance. They claimed they wanted the best for me and sent me to a couple of other attorneys. Which I am grateful to those other attorneys considering the fact that they brought me to the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm. The day I called Paul Wilkinson he requested that I come in and speak with him and his partner. This case was a shaky case and they did not have to take it whatsoever. But I truly have to say that Johnathon jumped in with 2 feet and took on this case. Truly helped me by clearing all the medical bills in my case. Literally barely making it by the skin of our teeth with the timeframe and unprofessionalism that the Michael Sawaya law firm did to me. But I have to say honestly that Jonathan and Paul went above and beyond and I truly felt that they cared more about me than the thousands upon thousands of dollars they could’ve earned for the case.I am truly grateful to the Paul Wilkinson law firm. I personally and strongly suggest if you are in need of a firm that truly cares about people more that the bottom line. Paul Wilkinson Law Firm is it. Its also suggested if you jump out of a perfectly working airplane that you should pull the ripcord on the parachute thats on your back. If I had to do it all over again I would have contacted Wilkinson Law Firm first!

So I'm an old client but I guess it really doesn't matter I just wanted to do my review for some reason today and let people know what kind of attorney you're pairing yourself with. I truly believe in my heart that he is an attorney that cares not just to get money that you need and want but he looks for long term as well. I worked with him in the past and although my case didn't get settled and there was no money to be claimed I have to tell you that Paul Wilkinson wrote me a $3,000 check out of his own pocket to help me recover from a lot of the economic hardship I was having due to this accident and I'm almost 100% sure he never got that money back or recovered it any shape way or form so I just thought I'd share that he truly cares and does his job from his heart and I would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience. Came to the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm regarding a subrogation matter with regards to a car accident and my insurance company. They were polite and extremely considerate of my situation. Our first meeting was very straightforward and John was very respectful of my situation. He fully understood the subrogation laws and the issue as it pertained to my situation which left me very confident in their ability to handle my case. Within just a few weeks the case was settled for more than I expected. I cannot recommend enough John and the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm.

The Colorado Personal Injury Attorney That Puts You First.

A Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney in Denver Equipped to Handle Any Case

Personal injury cases vary significantly depending on the circumstances of the accident, so you need an injury lawyer in Denver with the broad legal expertise to confidently approach your unique case. You can trust the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm to provide services from an injury attorney in Denver who understands the details that make each accident different and helps you navigate through them. We have you covered for a range of accidents, including…

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury in the United States, and if you find yourself injured due to the negligence of another driver, contacting a personal injury law firm as soon as possible can help you receive the largest possible settlement as compensation for any damages.

In the stressful aftermath of an accident, any conversations you have with the responsible party or their insurance company may be used to justify a lower settlement offer, especially if you admit fault. If you let your Colorado personal injury lawyer handle those conversations for you armed with all of the facts and our years of experience, you’ll start from a position of greater leverage that will generate better results for you in the end.

Common cases of negligence include speeding, reckless driving, distracted driving, or drunk driving on the part of the other party. If you’re unsure whether your case involves negligence that should result in compensation, we’ll help you figure it out through a free consultation, and we can even help you receive compensation in some cases in which you were partially at fault.

We handle cases involving cars and other passenger vehicles, as well as accidents involving trucks and large commercial vehicles or motorcycles, both of which often lead to more serious injuries and may require a more aggressive approach.

Bicycle Accidents

By law, Colorado bicyclists have the same rights as any other motorists on the road, but unfortunately motorists don’t always give bicyclists the same respect and attention, which can result in serious accidents and personal injury. At the Paul Wilkinson personal injury law firm, we strive to keep Colorado bike-friendly by providing a strong defense for bikers injured by negligent operators of both passenger and commercial vehicles, and helping them receive their entitled compensation.

If you’re a biker who has been in an accident where a motorist has failed to see you, encroached on the bike lane, left the scene of the accident in a hit-and-run (unfortunately all too common in accidents involving bicycles), or engaged in any other negligent behavior, the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm can help you. We know that bicycles offer less protection and often result in more serious injuries for their operators, so we want to help you get everything you can to aid in your recovery.

Pedestrian Accidents

As a pedestrian, you have the right to safe use of roadways as well, especially considering the potential for severe and traumatic injury or death when a negligent motorist strikes an unprotected pedestrian. If you or a family member is a pedestrian affected by one of these tragic accidents, a Denver personal injury lawyer from the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm will do everything in our power to support you and obtain compensation that can help alleviate the pain and suffering.

Pedestrian accidents often involve complexities stemming from factors like Colorado crosswalk laws, insufficient lighting or signage in the surrounding area, the potential for a hit-and-run, and the involvement of multiple motorists and pedestrians in crowded areas. You can rely on the knowledge and experience of your accident attorney in Denver to help you through even the most legally complex and personally challenging pedestrian accident situations.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims

Personal injury cases can be further complicated when the responsible parties are unable to provide the compensation you’re entitled to. This can happen if the negligent party lacks car insurance entirely or their policy has a low limit, or if the party can’t be identified because they left the scene of the accident in a hit-and-run or phantom driver situation. In these cases, working with an injury lawyer in Colorado is your best option to ensure that you still receive as much compensation as possible through the uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage policy from your own insurance company.

Most car insurance policies do include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage that can provide further compensation whether you were a driver, bicyclist, or pedestrian at the time of the accident, but a Colorado personal injury attorney can handle communication with your insurance company to save you the work and guarantee that your insurance company provides as much compensation as possible. We can also help you seek compensation through the policy of a family member who shares a residence with you in the event that your own policy is insufficient.

Drunk Driving and Distracted Driving Accidents

If you were injured in an accident caused by drunk or impaired driving, a Denver personal injury lawyer can work through the additional legal wrinkles that the situation entails and ensure that the responsible party is held fully accountable for their dangerous, irresponsible, and illegal behavior, thereby increasing the compensation in your settlement. We have achieved successful outcomes for our clients in cases involving alcohol and illegal substances, as well as the increasingly common occurrence of marijuana-impaired driving stemming from Colorado’s recent legalization of the substance.

We also serve clients in cases involving distracted driving, especially those where the negligent party was texting while driving, a practice forbidden under Colorado law. This behavior can be every bit as dangerous as impaired driving, with equally serious consequences for those affected, and if you’ve been injured by a distracted driver we want to work on your behalf to reach a complete and fair settlement.

Let a Denver Personal Injury Lawyer Help You Get the Compensation You Deserve

Whatever the circumstances of your accident, if another driver’s negligence caused you personal injury, we want to help you obtain your entitled compensation. The effects of an injury can be long-lasting and life-changing, and we know that money doesn’t solve everything, but it can go a long way to helping you achieve peace of mind, financial stability, and medical treatment that can improve the quality of your life. We have a track record of winning our clients thousands and even millions of dollars in compensation for losses, damages, and expenses including:

  • Damage to your car or other property
  • Lost income due to job loss or disability resulting from the injury
  • Medical bills for treatment now and in the future
  • Pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages for the responsible party in cases of extreme negligence or dangerous driving

You should never feel like you have to face the aftermath of an accident on your own, so call Paul Wilkinson if you or a family member has been injured in an accident and we’ll start working with you to achieve results that make a real difference.
