Colorado Springs Vehicle Accident Report: April 2019
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), there were a total of 630 statewide fatalities that occurred due to crashes. While no two accidents are the same, many result in serious injuries and even death. At Heuser & Heuser, we understand the life-altering impact a car crash can have on an individual. Our team of attorneys has highlighted several recent collisions that happened in Colorado Springs during the month of April to encourage drivers to follow safety precautions while operating their motor vehicles.
However, we understand that collisions can still happen even when you’re driving safely. If you or someone you love suffered injuries in an accident that was not your fault, compensation may be available for damages. With our precise attention to detail and extensive experience handling insurance companies, you can trust that your accident case is in qualified hands.
Our team of Colorado Springs car accident attorneys hopes that this report will help bring attention to the number of wrecks and fatalities on our roadways and the importance of safety.
27-Year-Old Man Killed in a Single-Vehicle Crash
Adam Askew, 27-years-old, died in a single-vehicle accident at the 5000 block of North Carefree Circle. According to police, Askew may have been speeding before he lost control of his vehicle and crashed.

Askew was the only one in the car when the accident occurred.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know What My Injury Case Is Worth in Colorado Springs?
There are a variety of things we look at when evaluating your case and determining its value.
We look at how the accident occurred: How did someone else’s carelessness lead to the accident? Did your actions also contribute to the crash?
We also look at what sort of injuries you sustained: Do you have a permanent injury that will last the rest of your life? Are you going to have future medical bills?
We look at lost wages: Did you lose your job? If you have permanent work restrictions due to the accident, you may not be able to find a job very easily in the future.
These are only some of the factors that we look at in evaluating a claim. You may have additional losses to account for in a claim, and sometimes additional evidence or expert witnesses will be needed to support an evaluation.
At Heuser & Heuser, LLP, we can identify those factors during a free case evaluation, during which you tell us your story so we can take the first step in building a legal strategy at no financial risk to you.

Why is it Important to Hire a Lawyer for a Personal Injury Claim in Colorado Springs?
Insurance companies are in business for a reason: to make money.
Anytime the insurance company is paying money on a claim, it means less money to their bottom line. They have literally hundreds of adjusters and hundreds of lawyers who are on their side trying to figure out how to prevent money from leaving their checkbooks.
Quite frankly, you do need a lawyer to help you through this because your lawyer will stand up for your interests and seek proper compensation on your behalf.
