How A Colorado Springs Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help You
Personal injury laws attach any time someone is injured due to the actions or inactions, accidental or deliberate, of another person. This can range from auto accidents to medical malpractice and more. When you suffer this kind of injury or illness, you need someone on your side who can make sure that all of your rights are protected and that you receive the full benefits to which you are entitled. Learn the benefits of hiring a personal injury attorney after an accident, including how they can help and why you need one in your corner.
Timeline of a Personal Injury Suit
When you are hurt and it’s someone else’s fault, the clock begins ticking for you to get the compensation you deserve. The first thing you need to do, always, is get medical treatment. No matter what else happens, your health is paramount, and the longer you wait to get seen, the more likely your injury is to get worse.
After you get medical treatment, you should immediately contact an attorney, who will investigate your case, advise you on the best course of action, and begin gathering the facts for your claim. You have a limited amount of time under state law to file a claim, so the faster you act, the better off you’ll be.
How a Personal Injury Attorney Helps
When you get injured and file a claim for coverage, the insurance company on the other side will likely pressure you to sign papers you don’t understand. They will also strong-arm you into accepting low-ball offers which may not even cover your medical expenses, let alone help you pay your other bills while you try to recover.
Put in its most basic terms, an attorney is your best friend when seeking coverage for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, lost opportunity, and even lost companionship. Lawyers know how to challenge the bullying tactics that insurance companies employ. They know how to negotiate and, if necessary, take things to court to ensure that you get every cent to which you’re entitled.
Nothing to Lose
One of the best reasons to hire an attorney is that you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing so. Attorneys have every reason to function as an experienced confidante, ally and friend at a time when you’ll desperately need one.
Remember, an attorney’s fee is based on whether or not they are able to secure compensation for you . This means that in order for them to get paid, you have to get paid. That’s extra insurance to make sure that they’re going to fight tooth and nail to protect your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know What My Case Is Worth?
There are a variety of things we look at when evaluating your case and determining its value. We look at how the accident occurred. We 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 as a result of the accident, you may not be able to find a job very easily in the future. These are some of the factors that we look at in evaluating a claim. Every case is unique and different. That’s why at our law firm, every case gets personal attention from the lawyer when it comes time to evaluate.
Why is it Important to Hire a Lawyer?
Insurance companies are in business for a reason: to make money. Anytime they are 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 make sure you’re properly compensated.
Do Cases Settle Without Going to Court?
Cases settle before going to trial 80 to 90 percent of the time. However, that doesn’t mean there’s not a lot of work involved in getting a case settled outside of court. Sometimes you have to file a lawsuit and do a lot of what I call “legal maneuvering” to get a case settled. That means we take depositions from witnesses to the accident, from police officers, and from your doctors. But, yes, most cases will settle prior to trial.
Do You Get Good Results for Your Clients?
We do get good results for our clients. We have settled hundreds, if not thousands, of cases where we’ve had large settlements. We’ve had substantial verdicts. We go to the mat for our clients if necessary. We’ll appeal cases. We’ll do whatever it takes to make sure our client is taken care of.
