The Importance of Hiring The Right Attorney

“Attorneys who occasionally take cases all the way to trial actually get better settlement results in the cases that don’t need to go trial. This is because the insurance companies know the firm is willing to go to court if needed and they don’t want to risk losing a large verdict from a jury.”

Your case most likely won’t need to go to trial but make sure you ask any attorney you’re interviewing about their trial experience. You’d be shocked how many lawyers don’t ever go to trial.”

How to File a Colorado Injury Claim?

Colorado is a fault auto insurance state. This means that the person who is responsible for your car accident must pay for your damages as well. Usually, these funds come out of his or her car insurance policy.

There are three main options to file a car accident claim:

You can file an insurance claim with the at-fault driver’s policy.
Filing an insurance claim with your own policy, if you have the appropriate coverage.
You can also file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court.

In most car accident claims, you will file a claim with the insurance company. Next, you proceed to the lawsuit stage if your claim is unsuccessful. However, your attorney may examine your case and advise you to proceed directly to the lawsuit process.

To file a personal injury lawsuit, your attorney will begin by performing a preliminary investigation into your claim. Next, they will complete the paperwork necessary to file your claim. Additionally, they will inform the at-fault party of your intent to sue. After you file, you will enter the discovery process where you will exchange evidence with the at-fault party. Next, you may enter into negotiations for your settlement.

You may receive a settlement at this stage. If negotiations are unsuccessful, your case will move to the courtroom. Finally, a judge and jury will decide whether or not you should receive a settlement. This is where the settlement amount is determined.

What is Colorado’s Statute of Limitations for Car Accidents?

Three years is the short answer. The statute of limitations is a law that limits that time frame an injured party can file a lawsuit. If a lawsuit is not filed within the time frame, the lawsuit will most likely be dismissed. According to Colorado law, the statute of limitations for car accidents is three years.

What Compensation Can You Expect in a Car Accident Claim?

Your car accident lawsuit or insurance claim allows you to collect damages for the emotional, physical, and financial consequences you endure as a result of the collision. You can collect two main types of damages in your case: economic and non-economic.

Economic damages include the tangible, out of pocket expenses you endure, including:

Past and future medical bills
Medications
Property damage and vehicle repairs
Physical therapy
Wages lost
Loss of future earnings
Disability accommodations

On the other hand, non-economic damages involve your physical and mental pain and suffering.
The following types of non-economic damages may be claimed in your case:

Mental anguish
Chronic pain
Disfigurement and scarring
Loss of quality of life
Depression and anxiety
Post-traumatic stress disorder

Speak to your Denver car accident attorney (that’s us!) as soon as possible to determine which damages you may qualify for. This may include an estimated amount of your compensation.

What to Do After a Car Accident?

The moments after a car accident can be disorienting. This is also the time that the evidence is freshest. This is where you can begin to build the foundations of a strong claim. If you can move around safely and without causing additional injury, take the following steps to collect evidence for your case:

Call 911 to bring law enforcement to the scene and create an accident report. Collect the responding officer’s information so you can find this crucial piece of evidence later.
Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Also save all documentation you receive during your medical visits.
Photograph the scene and the damages. This includes areas around the crash, your injuries, and all vehicles involved in the accident.
Exchange information with the other drivers. Contact details, insurance information, and driver’s license.
Do not make any claims about your injuries or your role in the accident. Do not speak to an insurance adjuster until you contact a Denver car accident attorney.

In addition, you should always speak to your car accident attorney before speaking to an insurance adjuster!

Remember, it is not in the company’s best interest to provide you with the maximum possible settlement.

Therefore, making a premature statement can hurt your case. Contact a Denver personal injury lawyer from Jordan Law as soon as possible to discuss how to approach these conversations!

Ashley D.

I had a consultation with Sarah after my first car accident. I had no idea what I was doing, but she thoroughly reviewed my claim and explained how the process works. She let me know all of my options and explained the strengths and weaknesses of my case. At all times, she carried herself as a professional and gave me the reassuring sense that she would do everything in her power to help me. I ultimately did not pursue the case, but it was an excellent experience.

Maria R.

Personal Injury

They were amazing to work with since day 1. My previous lawyer had too many cases and referred me to them and they immediately told me what I need to do and what to expect. I was not in the dark. They also kept me updated throughout the whole process when there were updates and even when there were no big updates. They even advocated for me and negotiated to get me more money. They were great. Ashley Reisman was such a pleasure to work with and talk to specifically too 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
