Do I Need a Colorado Personal Injury Attorney?

Ultimately, your attorney maximizes your compensation. You may stand to recover significantly more types of compensation than you may be aware of. Additionally, with experienced legal representation, you avoid legal errors that may ultimately result in no compensation. While insurance companies seek to pay as little as possible, our team fights vigorously for the opposite. 

What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

Under Colorado personal injury law, a personal injury claim is a claim for compensation for an injury caused by someone else. Claims of this nature typically get settled by insurance companies, but they may make it to court by way of a lawsuit. 

Only by pursuing a claim for personal injury can a victim of a personal injury ultimately receive damages in personal injury cases. 

What Should I Look for When Selecting a Lawyer?

You should research the firm before you consider hiring one of the attorneys. Ask for information regarding the lawyer’s education, training, and experience with cases similar to yours. For personal injury claims, be sure the lawyer is familiar with the laws in Colorado or the state where the accident or injury occurred. Also, review the fee contract in detail with the lawyer to make sure you understand how you will pay the lawyer’s fees and costs at the end of the case.

At Bachus & Schanker, we have extensive experience recovering substantial sums in cases involving all manner of personal injuries.

What Do I Need To Know about My Case Before Contacting Your Firm?

You should know that we spend much of our time obtaining information from clients during the initial contact. Depending on the nature of your case, these details might be provided in accident reports, witness statements, medical records, or other documents. 

We need as much detail as you can provide about your personal injury case. While not necessary, it is helpful to us if you have an accident report, insurance claim numbers, and copies of your own insurance policies at the time of the initial interview. Once we have the necessary information, we can make informed decisions about whether to accept your case. This information is also vital to determine how to pursue your case.

During your first appointment, you’ll receive a preliminary case review based on the documents and other evidence you bring.

Can I Afford To Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?

We handle most cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we do not get paid unless you make a recovery. We will explain the full details of the fee and cost agreement you have with our firm before we begin representing you with your claim.
