Why You Need an Accident Attorney?
After an accident, it’s only natural to want the experience to be over with as quickly as possible. Without a doubt, one of the best decisions you can make is to hire an accident attorney to help you with the process. While some accident victims mistakenly believe it’s easier to simply take care of things themselves, attorneys are experts at getting you the maximum amount of compensation possible. They’re an excellent resource to help you push through the tough times.
There’s no need to try and figure things out on your own. With all the stress associated with the accident, it’s easy to make a simple mistake that can end up costing you hundreds, or thousands of dollars in compensation. Accident attorneys are well versed in all the legal implications that might affect your specific case. Whether the accident is your fault or the responsibility of the other driver, having an accident attorney on your side will help ensure you are treated fairly throughout the entire process.
Hiring a personal injury attorney will prevent you from leaving compensation on the table and minimize any liabilities in the case of personal fault.

We have helped over 300 accident victims get the compensation they deserved, and also worked with individuals who may have been at fault.

How much does it cost to hire an attorney?
When considering hiring an attorney, many accident victims are concerned with the price. It’s only natural to want to avoid paying unnecessary fees that might increase the financial burden you face as the result of an accident; however, the Green Law Firm, P.C. works with you on a contingency fee basis. This means our firm will only charge you a fee if and when we help secure compensation for you as a result of the accident. If you are not entitled to compensation or we are unable to get you results, you don’t pay; it’s as simple as that.
Our firm is committed to creating win-win situations for ourselves and our clients. If we can’t help you, you won’t pay; all the risk is our own. If we are able to get you compensation, we will charge you only a small portion of the settlement, and everyone will walk away better off.
How to Maximize Your Insurance Settlement?
One of the significant benefits of hiring a Colorado Springs car accident lawyer is that by taking action now, you will have the best likelihood of receiving full compensation. Insurance companies will always try to give you the lowest possible payment, and many accident victims end up settling for much less than they deserve. Having an attorney on your side gives you a significant advantage throughout these negotiations, and insurance companies are less likely to give you a lowball offer when they know you have an expert working with you.
Insurance companies know that the average accident victim just wants the situation to go away quickly, even if that means taking less compensation. Your accident attorney will continue to fight for every cent you deserve, and make sure the insurance companies compensate you reasonably, based on the specific facts of your case. Not only are we well versed in all the legal loopholes that insurance companies often use against you, but we also have strong relationships with virtually all major insurance companies so we can get to a fair settlement quickly.
Car Accident Claims FAQ
When it comes to auto accidents, there are often dozens of reasons why they can occur, many of which are entirely preventable. Here are a few common causes of car accidents:Distracted Driving
Texting or browsing on a phone while driving is one of the most common causes of auto accidents today, and it’s an extremely dangerous behavior. When driving, it’s important you focus entirely on the road, and leave the messages for when your vehicle is stopped.
Drunk or Drugged Driving
Another common cause of accidents is driving under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicants. Alcohol and drugs significantly impair a driver’s ability to stop and control their vehicle, which can seriously injure not just the passengers in the intoxicated driver’s vehicle, but anyone else who may be on the road, or nearby.
Driving While Tired
Just as you shouldn’t drive while impaired, getting behind the wheel when tired is another common cause of accidents. When your body is exhausted, you’re significantly likely to make mistakes when driving which can often result in a crash. If you’re too tired to drive, make the smart decision to pull off to the side of the road and find alternate means of transportation until you have had proper rest.
Car Issues
Another common cause of accidents in the state of Colorado, is the malfunctioning of car parts like brakes, steering, lights, etc. It’s always important to ensure that your car is in drivable shape before getting behind the wheel.
Speeding and Otherwise Reckless Driving
Lastly, another cause of accidents is speeding, or otherwise reckless driving. Excessive speeding doesn’t just put you at risk; it puts anyone who might come into contact with your vehicle at risk as well.
While there are many more causes of accidents, the majority of collisions can be prevented through safe driving, and by following all traffic laws put forth by the state of Colorado.
Fortunately, according to the law in Colorado, insurance sold in the state is legally obligated to provide coverage for both insured and non-insured parties, meaning you are absolutely entitled to compensation even if the driver was uninsured. Depending on your specific case, your insurance policy will cover damages incurred by the uninsured driver.While you are entitled to damages even if the other driver is uninsured, insurance companies work hard to make the process more difficult than it should be. If you find yourself in an accident with an uninsured driver, hiring an accident attorney is more important than ever.
Under current Colorado law, if you are legally proven to be partially at fault for the accident, you are not entitled to 100% compensation for damages. That being said, partial fault does not mean you aren’t entitled to anything. In many cases, even when you are partially at fault, you are entitled to some form of compensation.The court will determine through a thorough investigation what percentage of the accident is your fault, and you will be rewarded your compensation (if any), based on that court ruling. If a judge rules that you are responsible for 50% or more of the accident, you may not be entitled to any compensation at all.
Wearing a seatbelt isn’t just for your safety. Currently under Colorado law, if you were not wearing a seatbelt during the accident in question, you are not legally entitled to damages for pain or suffering. Therefore you should always wear your seatbelt in case of an unforeseen accident.The good news is that even if you were not wearing a seatbelt, you still might qualify for other compensation based on loss of earnings, emotional distress, and overall quality of life. Ultimately, wearing a seatbelt doesn’t just protect you physically; it can help ensure you receive maximum compensation as well. If you’re unsure of your specific situation, contact a member from our team, and we will work with you determine how to best proceed.

From the moment the accident occurs, it’s important to begin working toward a solution. The longer you wait to file your claims, the more difficult it will be to receive maximum compensation. Currently, in the state of Colorado, you have up to 180 days to file claims related to injuries associated with that specific accident.If you decide to pursue further legal action against the individual of the accident in question, the statute of limitations is three years from the time of the accident. Once the three years have passed, you will legally be unable to receive any damages or compensation from the accident in question. It’s crucial that you act promptly to ensure your case has the best chance of succeeding. Do not wait or put the matter off for later.
While each situation is unique, by filing a personal injury lawsuit, you are essentially requesting that the person responsible for the accident take ownership of the situation, and compensate you fairly.When filing a personal injury lawsuit, you are looking to recoup any financial costs incurred by the accident, also known as compensatory damages. Compensatory damages often can include the following:
- Immediate lost income as a result of the accident.
- Compensation to help with the pain and suffering from injuries both mental and physical.
- Damage to your vehicle from the accident.
- Current and future medical treatment.
- Lost future wages from work as the result of the accident.
