- Evidence gathering and analysis — We will gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions.
- Completing medical treatment — We will ask you to go to the doctor, complete treatment, and stay in close contact with us about your progress so we can prove you are injured and calculate your case value.

Summit County Personal Injury FAQs
How Long Do You Have To File a Personal Injury Claim in Colorado?
The Colorado statute of limitations generally requires you to file your lawsuit up to two years from the date of the incident or the date you discover or should have discovered the injury or its cause. If you are injured in a car accident, the statute of limitations is increased to three years. In wrongful death cases, you must file your claim within two years of the death.
Don’t wait for the statute of limitations to approach before contacting our experienced Summit County accident attorneys. If you wait too long, you could lose your chance to gather important forensic evidence, video footage, and eyewitness recall. You will also lose valuable time that your attorneys need to investigate and build the strongest case possible.
Who Is at Fault for My Personal Injury Accident?
Determining fault in a personal injury claim requires proof that another party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and injured you. It is not always obvious who is at fault for an accident.
Identifying all of the at-fault parties is one of the most important jobs of a competent attorney. Our skilled Dillon personal injury lawyers will investigate until we find every cause of your accident and determine who is responsible.
We often find that multiple parties are at fault, and you deserve compensation from each. We often hold the following parties accountable because they typically share blame for accidents that lead to injury:
- Motor vehicle accidents — drivers, government entities, vehicle manufacturers, vehicle owners, trucking companies, cargo loading companies, automobile maintenance companies
- Premises liability cases — Property owners, contractors, and subcontractors
- Medical malpractice — Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, radiologists, nurse practitioners, hospitals, and nursing homes
