If you were recently involved in a car accident and are uncertain about your legal rights in regards to filing a lawsuit against the other driver, contact an auto accident lawyer Denver from our law firm. We have been protecting the rights of Colorado citizens injured in automobile accidents for many years. We know personal injury law and we will aggressively represent you to make sure that you get the financial compensation you are entitled to.
In any personal injury case, the most important function of an attorney is to prove that the other party is legally responsible for your injuries. Since car accidents are the most common personal injury lawsuit that we file, we are very experienced in obtaining the proof we need to sue the other party for damages. We will analyze the original accident report taken by a police officer, and if that doesn’t yield enough information, we may enlist the help of an accident reconstruction specialist. Our lawyers will also interview witnesses and review medical reports if needed. This part of the personal injury lawsuit is called the discovery phase. It takes the longest, but it is the most important.
We will have a lawsuit served on the driver of the other vehicle as soon as we have compiled all evidence in your favor. He or she has 30 days from the day of receipt to respond to the lawsuit. If it is ignored, you win everything requested in your lawsuit by default. The ideal option is out of court settlement, when our attorneys meet with lawyers from the other party to negotiate a settlement amount. This usually happens when the other party has no way of denying responsibility for your injuries. If the other driver does decide to fight the charges, the lawsuit will go to court and have to be decided by a jury.
Our law firm does not collect a fee until you win your case. When you do, you can expect payment for medical expenses related to the car accident, lost wages from work and possibly for pain and suffering.
