What To Expect From the Car Accident Lawsuit Process

When you meet with one of our Denver car accident lawyers, your initial consultation and case evaluation are free. We won’t charge you anything upfront, and you won’t owe us anything unless we win your case.

Your attorney will start by analyzing the circumstances of the accident and gathering evidence to build your case. Some evidence, like police reports, surveillance footage, and witness accounts, can be hard to collect on your own. Having a skilled lawyer by your side will make the process painless.

Then, your lawyer will determine who is at fault and begin negotiating with their insurance companies. Insurers will try to lowball claimants, especially if they think they can get away with it. We will reject offers that don’t respect the value of your claim and push to secure you fair compensation.

While most cases end in a settlement, some parties or insurers will refuse to agree to a reasonable deal. If necessary, we’re not afraid to go to court and fight to win you what you deserve.

We have a strong track record of achieving significant results in Denver car accident cases while providing unwavering support and excellent client service. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you.

Get Justice After a Car Accident

Recovering after a car crash can be challenging, especially when dealing with injuries and insurance claims. Our experienced car accident attorneys are here to take the burden off your shoulders and fight for your rights, so you can focus on healing.

How To Prove Fault in a Denver Car Accident

Finding the right evidence is key to establishing fault in a car accident. Some of the evidence necessary to build a strong case can include:

  • Videos and photos of the scene
  • Street camera footage
  • Witness testimonies
  • Dashcam footage
  • Police report
  • Medical records
  • Vehicle damage and estimate repair costs
  • Expert opinions – for more complex cases.

By analyzing the evidence, your attorney can determine who is liable for your injuries and demonstrate how they were negligent in causing the accident.

If you were partially responsible for the accident as well, you can still recover compensation at a reduced rate proportionate to your share of blame. However, under Colorado’s modified comparative negligence law, you cannot recover compensation if you were more than 50% responsible for your injuries.

Damages Available For Victims of Car Accidents in Denver, CO

Car accident victims can recover damages to compensate for various impacts to their finances and quality of life resulting from their injuries. Common examples include:

  • Current and future medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Property Damage
  • PTSD

In cases where the liable party acted intentionally or with extreme negligence, a judge may award punitive damages as well. Punitive damages are rare but can potentially double the value of a claim. Some additional damages are available in wrongful death cases, including burial costs and lost financial support.

The type and value of available damages will differ based on the unique circumstances of every case, such as the severity of the injuries, who the liable parties are, and how complicated the accident was. Our knowledgeable Denver car accident lawyers can help estimate what your claim might be worth.

Denver Car Accident Lawyer FAQs

How Long Do I Have To File a Car Accident Lawsuit?

Colorado law sets a three-year deadline to file a car accident lawsuit, providing more time than the general two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. However, the sooner you begin your case, the more likely you are to successfully recover compensation.

How Long Will My Car Accident Lawsuit Take To Resolve?

Simple Denver car accident claims can take a few months to resolve, but more complex cases can sometimes take a year or more. Our car accident lawyers can look at the circumstances of your case and give you a timeline estimate.

Do I Need a Denver Car Accident Lawyer, Or Can I Defend Myself?

You aren’t required to hire a lawyer when making a car accident claim, but handling the process yourself can be tricky. Insurers often try to lowball claimants and pay them less than their claim is worth. A skilled attorney can push back and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Should I Give a Statement to the Other Party’s Insurance Company?

While it’s fine to talk to your own insurance company, you should avoid making any statements to the other party’s insurer. They might use your words against you and attempt to pressure you into accepting an unfair settlement offer.

Can I File a Lawsuit If The Other Driver Left the Scene or Didn’t Have Insurance?

Your insurance coverage will determine your options. If you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, your insurer will help cover the damages. However, law enforcement can investigate and potentially identify the at-fault driver regardless, allowing you to sue them directly.

An experienced Denver car accident lawyer can help you understand your coverage terms and legal options.
