Car Accidents
Nearly 34-thousand people die each year in the United States as a result of motor vehicle crashes. Of these thousands of injuries and fatalities occur on Colorado roads and highways each year. Innocent people die or are seriously injured at the hands of negligent drivers who speed, ignore signage, use cell phones, send text messages, are inexperienced, or are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
In Colorado, a leading cause of death is motor vehicle collisions. According to national statistics, approximately 6,000,000 auto wrecks occur each year, causing close to 40,000 fatalities. It is estimated that 1 out of every 5 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related car crash at some point in their lives according to the NHTSA (National Highway Transportation Safety Administration). Colorado accident statistics are equally appalling.
Accident victims in Colorado will call their insurance agent for assistance and are usually asked to sign a monetary settlement – and to sign it quickly. It is your legal right to ask for a
Colorado attorney to review the documents presented to you by the insurance company before you sign. You could be signing away your Colorado rights and adequate compensation for your injuries or loss without the assistance of an
experienced attorney.
Be aware that Colorado
limits the time that your attorney can recover damages on your behalf after an accident. Once this time-frame has elapsed, it may be impossible to recover anything. Therefore, it is in your interest to call a
Colorado personal injury law firm early in the process.
