Questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We handle car accidents, truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, defective product cases, medical malpractice, brain/spinal cord injuries, wrongful death claims, and slip-and-fall accidents across Colorado.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
We work on contingency fees - you pay nothing upfront. Our payment comes from the settlement or verdict we secure for your case. This ensures access to justice regardless of financial situation.
What if I can't afford medical treatment?
Our firm helps connect clients with appropriate medical care. We work with healthcare providers who understand accident victims' financial challenges and can coordinate treatment with your case.
How long do personal injury cases take?
Case duration varies based on complexity. We prioritize efficient resolution while ensuring maximum compensation. Some cases settle in months, while complex litigation may take years to reach fair resolution.
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault?
Colorado's modified comparative negligence law allows claims even with partial fault. Compensation reduces by your percentage of fault, but our attorneys work to minimize assigned liability in these cases.
What makes your firm different from others?
We combine decades of trial experience with personalized attention. Our attorneys maintain accessibility throughout cases and have recovered millions through verdicts and settlements, including landmark cases against major corporations.
