You Have a Limited Amount of Time to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Denver

Accident victims in Denver should get started on their cases right away. According to CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102, you generally only have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit or a wrongful death lawsuit in Denver. If your personal injury case involved a motor vehicle, then you typically have three years per CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-101. 

Failure to file your case on time could leave you with no option to recover financial compensation. And getting an early start on your case allows your legal team time to collect evidence, speak to witnesses, and file your case before time runs out. Don’t hesitate to hire a personal injury attorney at Matlin Injury Law.

How Our Team Can Prove Negligence in Your Denver Personal Injury Claim

There are a few factors that must be at play to make a successful personal injury case. One is that your attorney needs to prove another party’s liability before getting you the compensation you need. Our law firm will do this by satisfying the following elements of negligence:

• Duty of care: The at-fault party had a responsibility to keep you safe.
• Breach of duty: The at-fault party failed to keep you safe, instead acting with negligence.
• Causation: The at-fault party’s negligence is the reason you suffered an accident and injuries.
• Damages: You suffered damages, such as lost income and medical expenses, because of the at-fault party’s negligence.

Examples of negligence include:

• A car accident resulting from drunk driving
• A pedestrian accident where a driver was distracted by their cellphone
• A truck accident due to a trucking company improperly training its drivers

Your injury attorney will investigate your accident and collect the evidence necessary to prove your right to compensation. Evidence that can be helpful in personal injury claims includes:

• Witness statements
• Police reports or incident reports, depending on the circumstances of the accident
• Photographs of the accident scene
• Video footage of the accident, such as from security cameras, traffic cameras, dash cams, and cell phones
• Driving records
• Safety reports
• Interviews with experts, such as those in accident reconstruction or highway safety

The Personal Injury Claim Process After an Accident in Denver

Navigating the complex paperwork and legal process of a personal injury claim can be frustrating on the best of days. When you are already stressed and in physical pain, it can quickly feel like an impossible battle to win. Our Denver personal injury attorneys can take over your case, providing dedicated legal support and advocacy.

Below, we’ll outline what to expect during the process:

Filing Your Personal Injury Claim

Your lawyer will complete the claim paperwork, ensuring accuracy and completeness. Your claim will likely include evidence, such as medical records pertaining to your injury, to help support your eligibility for compensation.

Generally, an insurance adjuster will investigate your claim. They may try to get you to make a statement, but this is best handled by first consulting your lawyer.

Negotiating Your Claim

Once the insurance company has your claim, they will either deny it or make a settlement offer. If denied, your lawyer can fight this decision. Their denial will list their reasons for denying the claim, which is what your lawyer will need to fight back. 

In some cases, this may mean that your lawyer will need to gather more evidence supporting your case to prove the defendant’s liability. In other cases, your lawyer may consult with medical experts to help substantiate the long-term effects of your injury and their impact on your day-to-day life.

If the insurance company sends you an offer, consult your lawyer before agreeing to any offers. An insurance company’s initial offer may fail to cover all your losses, especially your future losses. Your lawyer can review the offer and advise on the next steps. Our attorneys can negotiate with insurers to recover a fair settlement.

Taking Your Personal Injury Case to Trial

If the insurance company refuses to agree to a fair settlement, your lawyer can fight for your losses at trial. Our Denver personal injury attorneys will be ready to take your case to trial if that becomes necessary.

What Can You Do After a Personal Injury?

After an accident that results in an injury, your main priority should be seeking medical attention. However, if you are able, there are some additional things to consider.

• Call the Police: Police officers will help ensure that everyone involved is safe. They will also create a crash or police report that details their observations of the accident, and can include information about who was involved, the names of witnesses, and descriptions of evidence gathered.
• Document Your Injuries: Take photos of the accident scene and your visible injuries. This can be important time-stamped evidence to support your claim.
• Avoid Posting on Social Media: The insurance company may use your posts against you to suggest you were not really injured or your injury isn’t as severe as you claim.
• Be Careful of What You Say: Avoid taking any blame for the accident when talking to the police or insurance adjusters.

If you are unsure how your words or actions may affect your case, discuss any actions you have taken or plan to take with your personal injury lawyer.
