That being said, here are a few comments to aid in your search for an attorney.... View More

So I want to know if I can make claim at the insurance of the house

If you were working for someone else or on someone else’s property, you may have a claim. If you were injured on the job, you should probably call a worker’s compensation lawyer. If you not working when you were injured, for instance, if you were helping a friend with their roof, you should... View More

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry this happened to you. You ask what type of lawyer you need.

The statute of limitations has not expired for a personal injury lawsuit against another party. I would like to file a lawsuit on his behalf. How do I represent him. Do I go to probate court to become the executor of his estate?

I'm not a Colorado attorney but the statute of limitations for any claim of his would appear to be long gone. Even a contract claim has a six year statute of limitations.
Check with a Colorado attorney as to the statute of limitations for whatever claim you have in mind, but before... View More
