Roger Castle

Our practice is dedicated to representing individuals and families who have suffered serious personal injuries or the loss of a family member.

Attorney Roger T. Castle has successfully represented those suffering from a physical injury or death occurring in a wide variety of circumstances and a tragic range of causes, including:

Physical injuries resulting from these causes can be severe and often catastrophic. We aggressively investigate, negotiate, litigate, and conduct jury trials and arbitrations of your meritorious claims to secure for you the much needed compensation for: medical expenses, lost wages and earning capacity, severe scarring and disfigurement, physical impairment and disability, rehabilitation expenses, grief and emotional damages, a spouse's loss of consortium, and, in egregious cases, punitive damages.

Roger has successfully represented clients in injury and wrongful death cases against some of the most well-known manufacturers and service providers in America, including:

  • Ford
  • Honda
  • U-Haul
  • Hertz
  • Union Pacific Railroad
  • General Electric
  • Michelin
  • Goodyear
  • Firestone
  • Kaiser Permanente
  • McGraw-Hill Broadcasting Co.

Locally, we have prosecuted cases arising out of the serious fault and negligence of businesses and utility companies, cities and counties, the State of Colorado and its departments, various governmental Districts, and universities. We have successfully handled numerous Federal Tort Claims Act cases against the United States Government and a variety of its departments, including the U.S. Postal Service.

In our cases we have been up against virtually every major insurance company in the United States.

After successful jury verdicts and other resolutions in the trial courts, Roger has personally argued many appeals in the Colorado Court of Appeals, the Colorado Supreme Court, and the U.S. Court of Appeals. A number of these appeals resulted in landmark appellate court decisions in the personal injury law field.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

In addition to handling hundreds of the most common types of motor vehicle collisions and car accidents, we also have very substantial experience representing clients injured in: motorcycle accidents; road rage incidents; bus crashes; taxicab accidents; bicycle and pedestrian collisions; truck dock accidents; Dram Shop cases (against a bar, restaurant or alcohol server for serving an already obviously intoxicated driver); defective railroad tracks and dangerous railroad crossings; Snowplow crashes; drunk driving incidents; Jeep-4WD, ATV (all-terrain vehicle) and other off-road vehicle crashes; road construction defects and construction barrier dangers; forklift and backhoe collisions, as well as the defective and dangerous design and negligent maintenance of highways, streets, curbs, sidewalks and intersections.

Defective and Dangerous Products

In the products liability area of our practice, we have had the privilege of helping many victims of products that were dangerously designed, defectively manufactured, or missing critical safety features, including:

  • motor vehicles, heavy equipment, child seat belts, backhoes, front-end loaders, forklifts, trenchers, Bobcats, seatback and car trunk collapses, metal or fabric machine presses (causing amputations or crush injuries), dangerous motorcycle designs including exploding gas tanks, improperly-installed exhaust symptoms (causing severe burns) and leg protection problems, boat cables, dangerous playground and exercise or weight-lifting equipment, equipment control malfunctions, electrical switch defects and malfunctions, defective or bad tires, dangerous wheels or rims (e.g. tire-rim mismatches), and throttle linkage malfunctions (e.g. "stuck throttle").

Medical Malpractice

In addition to vehicle accident and defective product litigation, we also have over 3 decades of experience in counseling and representing victims of medical errors and malpractice. When the people that you relied upon to provide you with proper medical care violate the known standards of good medical practice, or act carelessly and unreasonably in conducting your surgery or treatment,and you then suffer life-changing and permanent injuries, we can help you carefully evaluate your situation and carefully decide on the best course of any possible legal action. Our cases involving medical or nursing errors have included:

  • the failure to diagnose existing cancer (e.g., colon, uterine, skin), stroke, heart attack or pulmonary embolism, failure to remove all surgical sponges and surgical instruments before closing the surgery site, failure to recognize and repair obvious bone fractures, operating on the wrong limb or at the wrong level of back/spine vertebrae, gross anesthesia errors resulting in brain damage or death, failure to timely treat cancer or pulmonary embolism, gross nursing home neglect, hospital falls due to an unreasonable lack of supervision, careless bowel perforations and punctures when performing unrelated surgery - resulting in severe or deadly infections, negligently cutting nerves and blood vessels, tight cast problems (resulting in loss of limb or the death of muscle tissue), chemical or laser burns, birth trauma to baby and mother from unreasonably conducted deliveries, incontinence of bowel or urine due to episiotomy or other causes, and performing surgical procedures without the patient's consent.

Winter Sports Injuries

For over 30 years we have represented people seriously injured in skiing, snowboarding, and tubing incidents. For more information, see our ski accidents page. We have helped many clients with injuries caused by reckless or out-of-control skiers and snowboarders, ski lift failures, lift operator errors, snowmobile collisions, negligent design and maintenance of ski slopes, and ski area obstructions.

Construction Site Injuries and Premises Liability

In the area of premises liability and construction site injuries, we have successfully pursued negligence claims involving: building or construction collapses, natural gas explosions, elevator crashes, construction site falls, stairway collapses, scaffolding collapses, forklift collisions, and dangerous or poorly maintained walkways and parking lots.

Other Personal Injury Cases

  • Gross Negligence: We have prosecuted claims involving airplane crashes, crop-dusting errors, gun discharges, paint-ball injuries, and sports injuries caused by someone else's negligence.
  • Non-Physical Injury: We have also represented numerous clients who suffered a non-physical injury, such as financial harm, or harm to their business or reputation. We successfully represented clients in some landmark Colorado cases against the media for defamation, invasion of privacy, slander and libel.
  • Insurance Bad Faith: In the insurance bad faith field, we have helped hundreds of clients obtain the reasonable compensation that had been denied by their own auto insurance for uninsured motorist (UM) or underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits. We also have handled numerous insurance coverage cases where we helped individuals and businesses obtain the auto, life, health, disability or liability insurance coverage and benefits that their insurance company was wrongly refusing to pay, even though the claims were clearly covered.
  • Legal Malpractice: We have considerable experience representing clients that received improper or unprofessional service from their prior attorney and are considering a legal malpractice claim, including claims for the negligent drafting of wills, trusts, or contracts; an attorney's failure to timely file claims within the statute of limitations, neglecting a client's case and commingling funds.
  • Injuries to Children: Finally, but sadly, we have represented the families of children and babies in cases where they suffered injuries, brain damage, and even death from the gross neglect or unreasonable behavior of babysitters or daycare establishments, including "shaken baby" cases.

Regardless of the type of serious injury you have suffered or the unusual circumstances under which you suffered it, if you were injured because of the clear fault of another, we will work tirelessly to evaluate your case, protect your rights, and then negotiate or try your claims.
