What To Expect From the Personal Injury Lawsuit Process
When you decide to pursue a personal injury lawsuit, it’s important to know what the process will look like, even if you are working with an attorney. At Olson Personal Injury Lawyers, our attorneys are hands-on with every case, diving deep into evidence collection, liability determination, and settlement negotiations. We’re also prepared to take your case to trial if negotiations are unsuccessful.
Every personal injury case is unique. How long it takes to resolve your case will vary by its circumstances. The team working on your case at Olson Personal Injury Lawyers will update you every step of the way and will always be available to answer your questions. Generally, the legal process for a personal injury case involves:
- Free Case Consultation: Our lawyers will gather all available information from you to determine whether you are eligible to pursue compensation for your injury.
- Investigate and gather evidence: Depending on the circumstances of your case, a variety of evidence may be available, including medical records, police reports, and witness testimony. Our attorneys can also gather further evidence that is not easily accessible, such as expert opinions and restricted legal files.
- Establish fault: After gathering evidence, your lawyer will determine which parties may be held liable for your injuries and build a strong case against them.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: In many personal injury cases, the opposing party’s insurance company will lowball you, doing everything in its power to not pay you the amount you deserve for your injuries. An attorney can handle negotiations with all involved insurers, ensuring you receive fair compensation and allowing you to focus on healing.
- Advocate for you at trial: Most personal injury cases settle before going to trial. However, if a fair settlement is not reached, your attorney will take your case to trial to advocate for you.
How Is Fault Determined In a Colorado Personal Injury Claim?
Multiple factors are in play when determining fault in a personal injury case. Sometimes, the fault is clearly on one party, but other cases may require an extensive investigation to determine whose negligence contributed to the accident. Olson Personal Injury Lawyers will focus primarily on the evidence available to determine which party or parties could be held liable for your injuries. Medical bills, accident reports, witness statements, and other documents can help prove who caused the accident and your injuries.
In Colorado, if someone else’s actions contributed to your injury, they are responsible for compensating you for your losses. To establish fault, you must first identify the liable party and understand how their negligent behavior caused the injury. You must establish that the other party had a duty of care to you and breached that duty, causing you to be injured and suffer recoverable damages, such as medical bills and pain and suffering.
A serious injury can impact your health, work, and future. We’re here to hold the responsible party accountable and get you the compensation you deserve.
What Compensation Can I Get in a Personal Injury Claim?
The compensation you can recover in a personal injury case will vary depending on the severity of your injuries, who was liable for those injuries, and insurers’ willingness to cooperate with negotiations. Some of the damages you may be able to recover include:
Economic Damages
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Property damage
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Physical disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Punitive Damages
- Punitive damages are only available in rare cases where the negligent party’s conduct was particularly egregious or reckless. A court awards them to punish the defendant and deter future misconduct.
Wrongful Death Damages
For a wrongful death, you may be able to recover additional damages for funeral and burial expenses, loss of consortium, and more.
An experienced attorney at Olson Personal Injury Lawyers will determine the full extent of your damages and devise a plan for pursuing the compensation you deserve.

Colorado Personal Injury FAQs
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Colorado?
The general statute of limitations for Colorado personal injury claims is two years from the injury date. Therefore, you typically have two years from your accident to file a case. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For motor vehicle accidents, victims have three years to file a case. In medical malpractice cases, the deadline may be extended if you did not immediately know you were injured. However, a medical malpractice case must still be filed no later than three years after the incident that caused the injury.
Can I File a Personal Injury Lawsuit if I Was Partially at Fault For My Accident?
Colorado operates under a comparative negligence system. An accident victim can recover compensation if they are less at fault for the accident than the other party. However, the compensation will be reduced proportionately to their share of the fault.
Are There Limits on How Much I Can Receive From My Personal Injury Claim?
In many Colorado personal injury cases, the damages you can receive are capped or limited. Any compensation for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, cannot exceed $500,000 unless the court finds justification for further damages. In medical malpractice cases, the total amount recoverable for all damages cannot exceed $1 million unless the court determines that future economic damages will exceed that limit. Colorado law also accounts for inflation on damage caps, adjusting the limitations every several years.
