The Wilhite Law Firm

Injury work across Colorado and Texas

The website places Denver at the center of a network that covers several Colorado cities and two Texas markets. The firm also has offices in Aurora, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Grand Junction, Greeley, Dallas, and Fort Worth. This reach gives the firm a presence near clients in both large cities and regional communities.

The Wilhite Law Firm states that its work has focused on injury cases for more than 35 years. Its listed practice areas cover personal injury, workers' compensation, disability claims, and several types of accident cases. In my opinion, the published attorney roles and detailed list of case types give readers a useful view of the firm's focus.

Motor vehicle matters

The firm handles claims tied to cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, buses, pedestrians, rideshare vehicles, and electric scooters. That list covers collisions involving private drivers, commercial carriers, public transportation, and newer forms of urban travel. Elizabeth Fisher's listed work includes motor vehicle collisions and trucking accidents.

Motor vehicle claims usually involve police reports, photographs, medical records, witness accounts, and insurance policies. Truck cases can add driver logs, maintenance files, company policies, and electronic vehicle data. Rideshare cases may require attention to the driver's app status because insurance coverage can depend on whether the driver was waiting for a request or carrying a passenger.

Bicycle, pedestrian, and scooter cases often call for a close study of the street setting. Traffic signals, crosswalks, visibility, road markings, and nearby video may shape the factual record. The available insurance coverage and the extent of the injuries also affect how a claim proceeds.

Property injuries and serious harm

Slip and fall claims appear beside the broader category of premises liability. Elizabeth Fisher also identifies premises liability as part of her work. These cases concern conditions on property and the responsibilities of owners or others who control the site.

A premises claim often turns on what condition caused the injury, who controlled the area, and what notice that person or business had. Incident reports, inspection records, photographs, video, and witness statements may answer those questions. Timing matters because a property condition can change soon after an event.

The firm also lists brain and spinal injuries among its practice areas. Medical records, imaging, treatment plans, and opinions from health care providers commonly help describe these injuries. The legal claim may also examine lost income, future care needs, and changes in daily activity.

Leadership and attorney roles

Robert (Rob) Wilhite holds several named roles within the firm. The website identifies him as Owner and President, Attorney and Shareholder, and Managing Partner in charge of litigation. It also says he oversees the firm's cases.

Wilhite is a Texas native, while several listed attorneys have close ties to Colorado. Richard B. Rose studied at the University of Denver. Katie Roberts grew up in Fort Collins and earned her bachelor's degree at Colorado State University. Brian Caplan was born in Boulder and grew up in Denver and Colorado Springs.

The attorney roster also names Anastasia Evans, Ashlyn Smith, Ben Flicker, Christopher Choe, David Miller, Domenic Nicotra, Drew Vicary, and Elizabeth Fisher. The site supplies fuller background information for some attorneys and identifies roles or practice subjects for others. The roster shows that the firm assigns lawyers to personal injury and workers' compensation work.

Education, admissions, and experience

David Miller began his legal career in 1977. He earned his J.D. at the University of Denver College of Law and was Editor-in-Chief of its Law Journal. These are among the clearest education and career details in the published biographies.

Richard B. Rose earned both a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Juris Doctor at the University of Denver. Benjamin Flicker is a Colorado native who works on civil justice cases for Colorado clients. He holds licenses in Colorado and Texas.

Drew Vicary has a published admission record across three states. He joined the Illinois Bar in 2014, the Missouri Bar in 2015, and the Colorado Bar in 2018. His current work focuses on workers' compensation claims.

Workers' compensation and disability claims

Domenic Nicotra and Drew Vicary have defined roles in the workers' compensation team. Nicotra works with injured workers, while Vicary focuses on workers' compensation claims. These biographies connect named attorneys to this part of the firm's work.

Workers' compensation claims follow an administrative system tied to employment injuries. The process may involve an injury report, medical treatment, wage records, benefit calculations, and disputes over work restrictions. Employers, insurers, medical providers, and state officials can each take part at different stages.

Medical evidence often shapes disputes about treatment and the worker's ability to return to a job. A worker may also face questions about temporary benefits, permanent limits, or the cause of the condition. Those issues differ from a civil injury claim even when both arise from the same event.

Veterans and Social Security matters

The firm lists veterans disability and Social Security disability among its services. Both fields depend heavily on medical proof, but each follows its own rules and review path. These matters can involve applications, agency decisions, record gathering, and appeals.

A veterans disability claim may address whether military service caused or worsened a health condition. Service records, medical files, and prior agency decisions can affect that review. Social Security disability claims usually examine medical limits, work history, and the applicant's ability to perform sustained work.

Government agencies make the initial decisions in these benefit systems. Review bodies or administrative judges may address later challenges. Deadlines and a complete record often shape the course of an appeal.

Medical, product, and vulnerable-person claims

The listed services extend to medical malpractice, product liability, nursing home abuse, sexual assault, and wrongful death. Each category has its own legal elements and sources of proof. They also tend to involve personal records that call for careful handling.

Medical malpractice claims examine the treatment a provider gave and whether that care caused harm. Medical charts, test results, consent forms, and opinions from qualified health professionals commonly form part of the record. State law controls filing rules and the proof a claimant must present.

Product liability cases may focus on a product's design, manufacture, labels, or instructions. The product itself, purchase records, photographs, manuals, and recall material can become relevant. Parties may also examine how the user handled the item and whether anyone altered it after sale.

Abuse and wrongful death matters

Nursing home abuse claims can involve care plans, staffing records, medication logs, photographs, and reports to public agencies. Family members and facility employees may hold useful knowledge about a resident's condition. Medical records can help track changes over time.

Sexual assault civil claims concern the harm caused by an assailant and, in some cases, the conduct of another responsible party. Records may include reports, messages, medical documentation, and witness accounts. Privacy and trauma can affect how a client approaches the legal process.

Wrongful death claims arise after a death that the claimant attributes to another party's conduct. State law decides who may bring the claim and which losses the law recognizes. The underlying event may involve a collision, unsafe property, medical care, or another listed area of the firm's work.

What the published record shows

The website gives readers a broad practice list and names the attorneys connected to several parts of the work. It identifies Rob Wilhite's control of litigation, Vicary and Nicotra's workers' compensation roles, and Fisher's focus on injury matters. It also provides education or admission details for Miller, Rose, Vicary, and Flicker.

The office network spans Colorado and Texas, while the attorney biographies include lawyers with ties to both states. The listed claims cover common accident cases, serious injury matters, workplace claims, and federal disability programs. The firm's website states that its injury focus has lasted more than 35 years.

Readers can verify a few points with particular clarity: who directs litigation, which attorneys have named work areas, and where certain lawyers studied or gained admission. The record identifies Drew Vicary's admissions in Illinois, Missouri, and Colorado. It also identifies Benjamin Flicker as licensed in Colorado and Texas.
