How did your injury happen?

In many cases, personal injuries occur because someone behaved in a reckless or negligent manner. Some of the most common causes and cases include:

• Slip and fall accidents due to water on the floor or hazardous objects that result in a slip, trip or fall accident in a public place, like a restaurant or retail store.
• Accidents that occur on someone else’s property due to dangerous or hazardous conditions. Such cases are known as premises liability claims.
• Vicious animal attacks, including dog bites.
• Dangerous or defective products that result in severe injuries.

If a loved one died as a result of negligence, your family will likely need to file a wrongful death lawsuit or claim. Whatever type of case you’re dealing with, make sure you talk to a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to learn more about the legal options available to you.

Who’s responsible for paying me?

Many states, including Colorado, have a fault-based insurance system. This means the at-fault party is responsible for financially compensating injury victims for their pain and suffering, and all of their accident-related expenses. So, the at-fault party should pay for your medical bills, replacement income if you cannot work while you recover and any other expenses.

Depending on the circumstances, the at-fault party can be many different people or companies, including:

• The person or business that caused your accident.
• The owner of the property where your accident took place.
• The company responsible for maintaining the property where your accident took place.
• The owner of the dog or animal that attacked you.
• The company that manufactured the product that caused your injury.

In each case, the insurance company for the at-fault party might ultimately be responsible for compensating you for your losses. Whatever the circumstances, make sure you have a lawyer on your side who knows what to do and who can demand the money you rightfully deserve.

"I felt well represented by Stephen. He was incredibly communicative, professional, friendly, kind, and knowledgeable in all the legal things I’m ignorant of. He added great value to my case. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personal injury attorney." - Hilary G.

How much is my case worth?

There’s no set dollar amount because each claim is different. Some personal injury settlements may total a few thousand dollars. Others might be worth significantly more. The bottom line is you should be paid for all your expenses related to your accident.

This might seem straightforward. Unfortunately, the insurance company for the at-fault party often plays games in such situations. In particular, insurance companies often only take into account short-term expenses, including emergency medical care. As a result, if you accept their settlement offer, you won’t be eligible to receive any additional money for future expenses.

Experienced lawyers take long-term expenses into account when determining the total value of a claim. Your attorney can then negotiate on your behalf for a larger settlement offer or file a personal injury lawsuit if the at-fault party’s insurance company refuses to negotiate in good faith. You have options. Your personal injury lawyer can help you explore them.

What should I do after my accident?

Each case presents its own unique challenges. However, there are often certain steps you should take when you're injured to protect your health and your rights. Such steps include:

• Seek immediate medical attention. Go to a hospital emergency room if necessary for medical treatment.
• If you believe a crime was committed, contact the police immediately and ask them to respond to your incident.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions. Failure to do so could jeopardize your health and the outcome of your legal case.
• Take photographs of the scene. If you cannot do so, ask someone you trust to take pictures as soon as possible, especially if you were hurt due to dangerous or hazardous conditions.
• Get the name of the property owner.
• Call a lawyer right away to learn more about the legal options available to you.

The sooner you have an attorney on your side, the better you can dictate what happens next. Instead of insurance companies setting the agenda, you can be in control.

How can a Colorado Springs personal injury lawyer help me?

There are so many different ways an attorney can help if you have been injured due to someone else’s reckless or negligent behavior. Your lawyer can:

• Conduct an in-depth investigation into exactly what took place.
• Review any accident reports or inspection records.
• Deal directly with the at-fault party and their insurance company on your behalf.
• Negotiate the best possible settlement offer for you.
• File a lawsuit if necessary and represent you in court.

The stakes are high. Insurance companies for the at-fault party know this. That’s why they often take an aggressive approach and might do everything they can to pay you as little as possible – or nothing at all. Your lawyer can help you take a stand and demand the money you deserve. You have rights. Your attorney can fight for them.
