Services
Personal Injury Representation
Kaudy Law advocates for clients injured in vehicular collisions, ensuring fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. Our team handles negotiations with insurance companies and litigates cases involving disputed liability or inadequate settlements. With expertise in Colorado's comparative fault laws, we protect clients' rights when insurers attempt to reduce payouts by assigning partial blame.
Insurance Bad Faith Claims
We represent policyholders facing wrongful denial of claims or unreasonable delays by insurance companies. Our services include challenging unfair practices like lowball settlement offers, failure to investigate claims thoroughly, and refusal to cover legitimate damages. Leveraging knowledge of Colorado's Unfair Claim Settlement Practices Act, we pursue compensation for both economic losses and emotional distress caused by bad faith actions.
Uninsured Motorist Claims
When at-fault drivers lack sufficient insurance, we help clients maximize recovery through their own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys analyze policy terms, negotiate with insurers, and litigate disputes to secure compensation for medical costs, lost income, and non-economic damages, ensuring clients aren't left bearing financial burdens from others' negligence.
Policy Limit Disputes
We resolve conflicts arising from insufficient insurance coverage, including cases where multiple victims compete for limited policy funds. Our strategies involve pursuing additional compensation from at-fault parties' personal assets or challenging insurers' attempts to minimize payouts through technicalities, ensuring clients receive fair treatment under Colorado's complex insurance laws.
Wrongful Denial Appeals
Kaudy Law specializes in overturning wrongful insurance claim denials by conducting thorough investigations, gathering medical evidence, and presenting compelling arguments to insurers or courts. We focus on cases where companies misrepresent policy terms, fail to acknowledge communications, or deny claims without reasonable investigation, working to secure the benefits policyholders legally deserve.

Questions
What types of cases does Kaudy Law handle?
We specialize in personal injury cases from vehicular accidents, insurance bad faith claims, uninsured/underinsured motorist disputes, and wrongful denial of coverage under Colorado law.
How does Colorado's modified comparative fault rule affect my case?
If you're found 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. If less than 50% at fault, your compensation reduces proportionally based on your share of liability.
What compensation can I recover after a car accident?
You may recover economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) and non-economic damages (pain, emotional distress), subject to Colorado's $366,250 cap on the latter.
How do insurance policy limits impact my claim?
Policy limits cap recoverable amounts. For example, a $100,000/$300,000 policy provides up to $100,000 per injured person with a $300,000 total per incident.
What if the at-fault driver has no insurance?
We explore uninsured motorist coverage under your own policy, potential employer liability via Respondeat Superior, or personal asset recovery from the at-fault party.
How does Kaudy Law handle cases with delayed insurance payments?
We challenge unreasonable delays through legal action, seeking compensation for both economic losses and emotional distress caused by bad faith insurance practices.
