Questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We handle all major personal injury cases including car accidents, truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, slip and falls, dog bites, and wrongful death claims across Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.
How do you charge for legal services?
We work on contingency fees - you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee comes from the settlement or judgment amount, ensuring access to justice regardless of financial situation.
What if the accident happened in another state?
Our attorneys are licensed in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. We regularly handle multi-state cases and can provide local representation regardless of where your accident occurred within these jurisdictions.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Colorado generally allows three years for personal injury claims, but specific circumstances affect deadlines. Contact us immediately to ensure timely filing and evidence preservation.
Can I get compensation if I'm partially at fault?
Yes, Colorado follows modified comparative negligence rules. You can still recover damages if less than 50% responsible, though compensation reduces proportionally to your fault percentage.
What if the insurance company denies my claim?
We challenge wrongful denials through formal appeals and litigation when necessary. Our experience with insurance tactics helps overcome common denial reasons like 'pre-existing conditions' or 'insufficient evidence'.
