Questions
What is a contingency fee agreement?
We handle cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only collect fees if we recover compensation. Fees are deducted from the settlement, ensuring access to justice without upfront costs.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Colorado generally allows three years from the injury date to file a lawsuit. However, evidence preservation and timely action strengthen case viability.
Should I talk to the at-fault party's insurance company?
Avoid providing statements or signing releases without legal counsel. Insurers may use information to devalue claims, whereas we protect your rights during negotiations.
What damages can I recover?
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. We assess economic and non-economic damages to maximize recovery.
What if the insurance company denies my claim?
We challenge wrongful denials through litigation, leveraging experience in bad faith claims to hold insurers accountable for contractual obligations and fair settlements.
