Questions And Answers
There is no way to know how much money you will get for your case, and you should be wary of anyone who claims they can guarantee a certain amount. Many factors affect how much you will receive, such as:
- How badly you are injured
- How long you receive medical treatment
- The amount of your bills
- Whether your earning capacity is reduced
- How much insurance the party who is at fault has
- Whether there is any extra insurance (such as an umbrella policy or uninsured motorist coverage)
- Whether the employer of the party who is at fault is also liable
- Whether the party who is at fault has any large assets
- Whether the party who is at fault has any defenses
In making this decision, you may want to consider the following:
- ABC news reported that Allstate Insurance Company circulated internal documents that stated that an injured person, represented by an attorney, received, on average, three times as much money as the personal injury victim who did not use an attorney.
- Of course, recoveries in individual cases are based on individual facts and circumstances of the case, and are subject to reduction by attorney’s fees and costs.
- Additionally, an attorney will find all of the different types of insurance available for your claim, such as bodily injury, uninsured or under-insured motorist coverage, PIP insurance, excess insurance, and employer insurance.
Every case is different, and some cases take longer than others. On average a case takes twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months from beginning to end.
Call our office to inquire about scheduling an appointment. We will first talk to you over the phone to obtain more information about your situation. We may not be able to represent you if we have a conflict of interest or if our schedule does not permit taking on a matter that is urgent.
We want our clients to be informed every step of the way, so it is our practice to communicate with our clients as their case progresses. We make it a practice to forward pertinent emails and send copies of each document to our clients for their records.
Colorado lawyers and law firms receiving, maintaining, or disbursing client funds in Colorado.
Yes. A lawyer or law firm may set up a pooled interest-bearing trust account, and then either the financial institution or the lawyer provides for computation of interest earned on each client’s funds, the payment of that interest to each client, and the necessary record keeping and filing of paperwork with the I.R.S.
In the state of Colorado, you only have between 2 and 3 years from the accident to file a claim. This is known as the statute of limitations and if you miss this deadline, you could be barred from ever being able to file a claim.
