Colorado Springs Vehicle Accident Report: March 2019
Automobile accidents can lead to life-changing and permanent damage depending on the seriousness of the accident. According to the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT), “Over 37,000 people die in road crashes each year.”
Motor vehicle accidents rank as one of the leading causes of death, so it’s imperative that people are aware of how easily a wreck can happen and ways to stay safe on the roadways. If you or a loved one sustained injuries as a result of a negligent driver, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries and any property damage.
At Heuser & Heuser, we understand how a collision can impact an individual and their family. Our attorneys can review the details of your case and inform you of your legal options. Every car accident case is unique, and results will depend on multiple factors, such as the severity of your injuries, future medical treatment, and other conditions.
In many cases, motor vehicle accidents can be prevented if motorists operate their cars safely on the roadways. Our Colorado Springs car accident attorneys have created a vehicle accident report to raise awareness about the seriousness of collisions and promote safety. The report highlights some of the accidents that happened in Colorado Springs throughout the month of March.

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.
