What Makes Denver Car Accident Cases Unique?

Winning Car Accident Claims Across Colorado

Denver’s bustling roadways and unpredictable weather patterns add unique challenges to car crash claims. Crowded intersections, icy roads, and many other factors can make a huge difference to the outcome of your case. Insurance companies like to try to downplay the impact of these factors so they can shift the blame onto the person trying to make the claim. A good personal injury attorney will make sure they don’t get away with it.

Compensation for Car Crash Cases

Types of Compensation You Might Receive

When you’re hurt in a car accident, you may be able to collect several types of compensation. The exact nature and amount of your payout will depend on the exact details of your situation. However, most victims are able to be compensated for:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering.

If your injuries make it so you can’t go back to work at all, your attorney will calculate the amount of money you would have earned over your lifetime if the accident hadn’t happened and factor that into your total compensation claim. Likewise, you can take into account your inability to do activities you once loved if your trauma prevents you from doing them anymore.

How Compensation Is Determined

Several factors go into the consideration of compensation types and amounts. These can include the severity of the injuries, the extent of property damage (usually to your car, but it can also include anything inside the vehicle that was damaged or destroyed), and whether there was any shared fault. Insurance companies could try to argue that you were partially responsible.

What To Do After a Car Accident

When you know what steps to take after a car crash, you can better protect your health and your legal rights. Here’s what you should prioritize:

• Check for Injuries: Make sure everyone involved is safe and call 911 if needed.
• Move to Safety: If possible, move your vehicle out of traffic.
• Call the Police: A police report will be a critical piece of evidence for your claim.
• Document the Scene: Take pictures and collect witness contact information.
• Get Medical Help: Even if you feel okay, some injuries aren’t immediately visible.
• Call Your Insurance Company: Report the accident as soon as you’re able.
• Talk to an Attorney: Don’t make statements or sign anything before hiring legal help.

Evidence can make or break your claim. Photos of the scene, medical records, and witness statements are all necessary for a strong case. The sooner you collect and save this evidence, the stronger your claim will be. Your lawyer can guide you on what you need and how to prove your injuries and property damage.

Quick legal action can greatly increase your chances of securing full compensation.

Common Challenges in Car Accident Cases

Disputed Liability

Insurance companies like to try to shift the blame for an accident in an effort to reduce the amount they pay out to claimants. They might argue that you did something to cause the crash yourself or that someone else was responsible. An attorney can help you find the evidence to prove fault.

Low Settlement Offers

Insurance adjusters often send quick settlement offers that are far below what accident victims need to rebuild their lives. It can be tempting to take the money and move on, but this could leave you to cover future costs out of your own pocket. Our team will assess the full extent of your losses and negotiate a fair settlement offer.

Delays in Claims Processing

Insurance companies might also try to drag out the process in the hopes that you’ll either take the lowball offer just to resolve the issue or give up entirely. Our firm knows how to keep the pressure on and keep your case moving.

Medical Record Disputes

Insurers also like to argue that your injuries aren’t as bad as you say they are or that they were caused by something other than the accident. Our team works with medical experts to establish a clear link between your trauma and the crash.

Underinsured Drivers

If the driver who caused the accident doesn’t have enough insurance to cover the costs, it might complicate your case. We’ll look at every possible avenue (including your own insurance policies) to make sure you are fully compensated.

Why Legal Representation Matters

Facing an insurance company on your own is tough. The company comes off as friendly at first, but it’s not looking out for your best interests. Its goal is to pay you as little as possible. Without the right legal team, you could miss out on the compensation you’re entitled to collect.
