How to file a Car Accident Lawsuit in Colorado

colorado car accident lawsuit attorney

If you have been involved in a car accident in Colorado, chances are you will require legal help in determining whether you have grounds for a lawsuit.  In many cases, people take whatever an insurance company offers for medical payments and lost wages, and leave a lot of money on the table.   I’m not saying that you should look at your accident as a way to make money from your car manufacturer, but if your injuries were caused by faulty parts, negligence or vehicle safety issues, it is possible you have a case.

A Denver Personal Injury attorney with experience in auto accidents can review the evidence in your case, and help you explore your options.  If you decide to file an auto accident lawsuit against one or more of the drivers involved, your lawyer will file all the necessary petitions and represent you in court.

Some accidents did not happen because of a person, however. If your police report and vehicle damage indicate a malfunction of equipment, faulty parts, or negligence on the part of the manufacturer, you may consider suing a third party.  The process of doing this can be very time consuming, and each state has its own laws regarding how long you can wait before filing a lawsuit.

An automotive or personal injury attorney will review all the damages and evidence in your case, and will attempt to make an out-of-court settlement with the defendant.  During the pre-litigation phase, your attorney will collect your medical records, vehicle damage reports, repair estimates, calculations of lost wages, and any other documentation you may have.  Your job is to read all the fine print on the forms, fill them out correctly and honestly, and keep accurate records of all paperwork pertaining to your case.

Car accidents happen in Colorado every day, and it is estimated that more than 40,000 people will die this year from injuries related to auto accidents.  Don’t settle for less than you deserve for your accident.  Consult a Denver Personal Injury attorney and learn about your options.
