Thomas N. Scheffel & Associates, P.C., the Denver-based law firm operating as TNS Associates, has announced an enhancement to its personal injury representation services. The firm has expanded its capacity to accept and manage personal injury matters across a broader range of case types, building on its existing litigation experience to serve injured individuals and their families navigating the legal and insurance processes that follow accidents and other injury-causing events.
TNS Associates' personal injury practice specializes in truck accidents, catastrophic injury, bad faith, car accidents, pedestrian accidents, wrongful death, nursing home malpractice, and other circumstances in which another party's negligence or failure to meet a duty of care has resulted in physical harm or death. Personal injury matters in Colorado are governed by a combination of state statutes and case law that shapes the standards by which liability is established and damages are calculated. The firm's attorneys are experienced in both the procedural demands of personal injury litigation and the negotiation dynamics of insurance claims resolution, areas that require distinct but complementary skill sets to manage effectively on a client's behalf.
Colorado operates under a modified comparative negligence standard, meaning that an injured party may recover damages even if they bear partial responsibility for the incident, provided their share of fault does not exceed 50 percent of the total. Damages recoverable in personal injury matters include hospital and rehabilitation bills, medical expenses, past and future lost income, diminished earning capacity, and compensation for past and future pain and suffering, permanent impairment, and disfigurement. The specific recoverable categories and applicable limits depend on the circumstances of each case. TNS Associates evaluates each matter individually to identify the applicable legal theories and build a case strategy aligned with the specific facts and the client's circumstances.
"Personal injury cases involve some of the most difficult moments in a person's life, and the legal process that follows can feel overwhelming when someone is simultaneously managing their recovery," said Thomas N. Scheffel, Founder of TNS Associates. "Our enhanced capacity in this practice area means we are better positioned to give those clients the time and attention their cases require while building the strongest possible representation of their interests."
The enhancement to personal injury matters reflects the firm's broader approach to legal services, which emphasizes treating each case as unique rather than applying standardized approaches that may not account for the specific facts, insurance coverage, or injury profile involved in a given matter. TNS Associates assigns each client a dedicated legal team, allowing cases to receive consistent attention from intake through resolution. Personal injury claims in Colorado are subject to a statute of limitations that requires legal action to be initiated within a defined period following the date of injury, with certain exceptions available in limited circumstances. There are also notice requirements that run even earlier if the wrongful actor is considered a governmental person or entity. Individuals who delay consulting with an attorney following an accident risk losing the ability to pursue a legal claim regardless of the merits of their case. TNS Associates accepts inquiries from prospective personal injury clients and conducts initial consultations to assess the facts of the matter and advise on available legal options.
TNS Associates has operated continuously in the Denver legal market since 1984, providing representation across personal injury, estate planning, family law, real estate, employment, elder law, criminal defense, probate, and corporate matters. The firm's attorneys hold professional ratings through Martindale-Hubbell, Avvo, and other peer-review platforms.
