Many veterans suffer injuries that impact their health, careers, and financial stability. Understanding injury claims for veterans is essential to ensure you receive the benefits and compensation you’ve earned through service. At Colvin Accident Lawyers, we’re committed to helping veterans navigate the complex process of filing and winning injury claims with clarity and confidence.
Veterans may face injuries related to active duty, training, or post-service incidents. These can include physical injuries, psychological conditions, or illnesses linked to service. Injury claims allow veterans to seek compensation for these conditions through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or through personal injury claims when negligence is involved.
If another party — such as a negligent driver, employer, or healthcare provider — contributed to your injury, you may have grounds for a civil personal injury claim in addition to VA benefits. This dual path can maximize your recovery and ensure you’re fully supported.
Service-related injuries (e.g., back injuries, hearing loss, PTSD)
Vehicle or motorcycle accidents involving veterans
Medical malpractice or negligence in VA hospitals
Workplace injuries after military service
Defective product or toxic exposure cases
Each case requires a unique legal strategy. Our team helps veterans determine the right type of claim, ensuring that deadlines are met and evidence is strong.
Filing an injury claim involves gathering medical records, service documents, and proof of negligence or disability. It’s crucial to:
Document everything. Keep records of medical visits, diagnoses, and correspondence.
Act quickly. Both VA and civil claims have strict filing deadlines.
Consult an experienced attorney. Legal representation can help you avoid common mistakes and increase your chances of success.
At Colvin Accident Lawyers, we guide veterans step-by-step, ensuring your claim is complete, accurate, and supported by solid evidence.
Navigating VA bureaucracy or civil courts can be overwhelming. A skilled injury lawyer can:
Evaluate your claim’s value
Handle complex paperwork
Negotiate with insurance companies
Represent you in hearings or appeals

Our firm has years of experience helping injured veterans and their families secure fair settlements. We combine compassion with determination, providing personalized service and clear communication throughout the process.
You served your country. Now let us serve you — by protecting your rights and your future.
1. Can I file both a VA disability claim and a personal injury claim?
Yes. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you can file a civil personal injury claim while still receiving VA benefits.
2. How long does it take to resolve a veteran injury claim?
Timelines vary. VA claims can take several months, while civil cases depend on complexity and negotiations. Legal help can speed up the process.
3. What if my VA claim was denied?
You have the right to appeal. An attorney can help gather additional evidence and strengthen your case during the appeal process.
4. Do I have to pay upfront fees to hire an injury lawyer?
At Colvin Accident Lawyers, we work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you don’t pay unless we win your case.
5. What types of compensation can I receive?
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term disability benefits.
