Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Our team has extensive experience representing individuals affected by carbon monoxide exposure. These invisible, odorless gas leaks can lead to life-threatening or permanent injuries.

Traumatic Brain Injuries
TBIs can disrupt every aspect of your life. At Shakeshaft Law Firm, we work closely with medical professionals and life-care planners to develop strong claims for victims suffering from memory loss, mobility issues, or cognitive impairment after a serious brain injury.
Auto Accidents
Whether you were rear-ended on I-25 or hit in a Pueblo intersection, we help car accident victims pursue full financial recovery. Our attorneys handle cases involving broken bones, whiplash, long-term medical care, and insurance company delays or denials.
Bus Accidents
When city or private buses are involved in a crash, multiple parties may share responsibility. We help passengers, pedestrians, and drivers involved in Pueblo bus accidents seek justice and compensation.
Semi-Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can cause catastrophic harm. Our firm goes toe-to-toe with commercial carriers and insurers to hold negligent drivers and employers accountable for serious and fatal injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists in Pueblo often face bias from insurers and police. We stand up for riders injured by distracted drivers, road hazards, or unsafe vehicles to make sure their voices are heard and their damages are fairly valued.
Bicycle Accidents
We represent injured cyclists who have been hit by vehicles or harmed by unsafe road design. Our team works to recover damages for medical bills, missed income, and long-term recovery needs.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pueblo pedestrians are at risk every day on city streets and in parking lots. If you've been struck by a vehicle, we will investigate the incident and advocate for the compensation you deserve.
Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist Accidents
Even if the at-fault driver lacks coverage, you may have options. We help clients use their UM/UIM policies to recover costs when the other driver is uninsured or underinsured.
Back and Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal injuries may require surgery, physical therapy, and long-term care. We help clients with these complex cases fight for the resources they need to adapt and recover.
Wrongful Death
If your loved one was fatally injured due to negligence, you may be able to bring a wrongful death claim. We represent families with compassion, helping them hold the responsible party accountable while pursuing justice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Pueblo
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Pueblo, Colorado?
In Colorado, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim, or three years if the injury was caused by a motor vehicle accident. Failing to file in time could mean losing your right to compensation. If you're unsure of the deadline in your case, contact us online or call 719-230-0307 for help.
What compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death damages (if a loved one passed away)
Every case is different, so we recommend scheduling a free consultation with our Pueblo attorneys to discuss your options.
Do I have to pay upfront to hire a personal injury lawyer?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay us nothing unless we win your case. Our fees are a percentage of your recovery, and we’ll explain all terms clearly before you sign anything.

Here are the immediate steps to protect yourself and your case:
- Get medical treatment, even if injuries seem minor
