Types of Compensation

When you have been in an accident that was not your fault and you suffered injuries, you may be eligible to receive compensation for damages. You could be compensated for the following:

Medical Bills

Medical bills can include emergency room services, surgeries, rehabilitation, and other related costs. The type of medical treatment necessary for your recovery will depend on the severity of your injury and/or injuries.

Lost Wages

Injuries from a car accident may prevent you from working. This means time away from work to go to doctor’s appointments, which leads to lost income. If your injuries limit your ability to work, you may be compensated for lost wages.

Pain and Suffering

You’ve suffered not only physical pain from your injuries but emotional and mental suffering as well. Injuries seriously impact your quality of life, and while compensation can’t change what you’ve gone through, it can help you move forward a little more comfortably.

Property Damage

Depending on the type of accident, property damage can be minor to severe. A settlement can cover the damage done to your vehicle.

How to Prove Negligence

Auto accidents, like most personal injury cases, revolve around the legal concept of negligence. This means, that you’ll need to prove that someone else caused you to get hurt. Proving negligence requires three factors:

1. You must prove that the defendant acted in an irresponsible manner; that they behaved in a way which runs counter to the way in which any reasonable person would behave under similar circumstances.
2. You must prove that the other driver’s irresponsible behavior is what led to the accident.
3. You must demonstrate that the accident was the direct cause of your injury and/or injuries.

Trying to prove the three factors mentioned above, is often complicated and time-consuming. For this reason, we highly recommend consulting an experienced Colorado Springs car accident lawyers about your legal options.

Reasons Car Accidents Happen

Vehicle accidents occur for multiple reasons and happen more frequently than most people realize. Here are the most common reasons collisions occur:

• Distracted Driving
• Driving Intoxicated
• Speeding
• Car Defects
• Weather Conditions
• Poor Road Conditions

Statute of Limitations in Colorado

Statute of limitations is a law set in place that gives an injured person a certain time to take legal action against the responsible party. Keep in mind that every state has different deadlines, which is why it’s important to know the law in Colorado.

For car accident cases, injured person have exactly three years to file a lawsuit, starting the day the accident occurred. If the claim is filed after the deadline, it can result in little to no compensation.

In most cases, a case is settled before court is necessary. However, if during the negotiation stage a settlement cannot be agreed upon between both parties, then a trial will then be necessary. If the case must go to trial, then hiring an attorney will be in your best interest.

Do I Have a Case?

Many people think you must have catastrophic injuries in order to pursue a legal case. This is not necessarily true. Even a seemingly “minor” injury can interfere with your ability to work and live your life. If you were involved in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, and you suffered losses because of that accident, there is a good chance you have a case.

Remember that the insurance company isn’t on your side. They will be working against you as you try to seek the money you need to recover your losses. Even “fender benders” can quickly become complex matters when the insurance company gets involved. For example, the insurance company may try to say you were completely at fault when really the other party was to blame.

In Colorado, the statute of limitations for car accident claims is three years. That means that you have three years from the day of your accident to file a lawsuit for compensation. If it has been less than three years since the date of your accident, you may have a case. The sooner we can get started on your case, the better. Get a free case review today.

What kind of Compensation Could I Get?

The insurance company is not going to voluntarily pay you more than they have to. As a result, there is a lot of negotiating that happens when settling a car accident case. That’s why you need experienced car accident lawyers on your side, to fight for the money you deserve.

People often wonder how much money they could receive after a car accident. Our attorneys will typically seek to recover payment for:

• All medical bills related to your car accident injuries.
• Lost wages from not being able to work. This includes any time taken off of work for medical appointments.
• The emotional pain and suffering you experience after your accident.
• Any property damage costs, if your car needs repairs or needs to be replaced.

When you hire Heuser & Heuser, we make it easy for you. Our Colorado Springs car accident lawyers will concentrate on your case, so you can focus on getting better.

How Can a Colorado Springs Car Accident Lawyer Help Me?

First and foremost, a personal injury attorney will negotiate on your behalf with the insurance company. We know that talking with an insurance adjuster after a car accident is rarely pleasant. When they call you, they may catch you off guard, when you’re emotional and trying to heal from your injuries. They may sugarcoat their offer and make it sound better than it is. When you hire us, we can do all the negotiations with the insurance adjuster.

Dealing with the insurance adjusters can be a long, frustrating process. Our car accident attorneys are in it for the long haul. First, the insurance company will likely give a lowball offer. This initial offer may just pay your medical bills and lost wages. It probably won’t take into account all that you’ve gone through, including pain and suffering. At Heuser & Heuser, we’ll fight for every penny that you deserve.

And in many cases, the insurance company will offer a settlement too soon, before the full extent of your injuries are known. We look into the future, and take into account how your injuries impact you not only today, but your life down the road. We’ll fight for a settlement that fully compensates you for your injuries, lost wages, damage to your vehicle, and pain and suffering.

Another reason to hire a Colorado Springs car accident lawyer is to make sure you aren’t unfairly found to be responsible. Colorado has “comparative negligence” in auto accidents. That means that if the insurance company says you were 50% responsible for the accident, your settlement will be reduced by 50%. Remember that the insurance company is going to try to pay out the least amount of money possible. They do not have your best interests at heart. That’s why you need an attorney to take on your case.

Most personal injury cases settle out of court. But in the event that it’s in your best interest to go to court, we’ll be there. At Heuser & Heuser, our car accident lawyers are not afraid to fight for what’s best for you.
