Recovering Damages After a Denver Auto Accident

After a car accident, you may be able to recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are designed to compensate victims for measurable financial losses resulting from the collision. Depending on the circumstances of your case, these damages may include compensation for:

• Property damage
• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Reduced earning capacity or loss of future income

Non-economic damages address the personal impact of an accident that cannot be measured by bills or receipts. These damages recognize the physical, emotional, and psychological effects an injury can have on your daily life and overall well-being. You may be able to recover compensation for:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Diminished quality of life

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim in Denver

Filing a wrongful death claim after a fatal car accident in Colorado may allow certain surviving family members to pursue compensation for the financial and emotional losses caused by their loved one's death. These claims can seek damages for medical expenses incurred before death, funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, and other qualifying losses under Colorado law.

Reason to See a Lawyer Right Away

Seeing a car accident lawyer as soon as possible can help protect your rights and strengthen your claim. Important evidence, such as skid marks, surveillance footage, vehicle damage, and witness statements, may become unavailable if too much time passes. An attorney can begin investigating the accident immediately, preserve critical evidence, and identify all potentially liable parties.

Early legal representation also helps prevent costly mistakes when dealing with insurance adjusters, who may ask for recorded statements or encourage you to accept a settlement before the full extent of your injuries is known. Your lawyer can handle communications with the insurance company, calculate the full value of your damages, and ensure that important deadlines are met.

Prompt action is especially important if your injuries require ongoing medical treatment or if liability is disputed. By consulting a car accident lawyer right away, you can focus on your recovery while knowing that your legal interests are being protected from the very beginning.

Case Results

Car Accident - $1.4 Million Verdict

Leventhal Puga Braley P.C. partner Julia Thompson and an associate attorney secured a favorable jury verdict on behalf of three clients who were injured when a speeding driver crashed into their vehicle. According to the evidence presented at trial, the at-fault driver was traveling at approximately twice the posted 35 mph speed limit when he struck the rear passenger side of the clients' vehicle.

One client suffered life-altering injuries, including a fractured right femur that required surgery and the implantation of stabilizing hardware, collapsed lungs, a fractured collarbone that also required surgical hardware, and multiple fractures to the vertebrae and pelvis. The jury returned a substantial verdict in recognition of the severity of the client's injuries and resulting damages.

Car Accident FAQs

What should I do after a car accident in Denver?

Your health should be your first priority. Seek appropriate medical care as soon as possible, report the accident to law enforcement, and consult an experienced car accident attorney before discussing your claim with the insurance company.

What if the insurance company denies my claim?

A denial does not necessarily mean your case is over. An attorney can investigate the reason for the denial, gather additional evidence, negotiate with the insurer, or pursue litigation if appropriate.

Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company offered me a settlement?

It is a good idea to speak with an attorney before accepting a settlement. An initial offer may not account for future medical expenses, lost earning capacity, or other damages related to your injuries.

How do I know if I have a car accident claim?

If another driver's negligence was a cause of your injuries, you may have a personal injury claim. An attorney can evaluate the circumstances of the collision, review the available evidence, and explain your legal options.

What compensation may be available after a serious car accident?

Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, rehabilitation costs, and future in-home care needs.

What if the other driver was uninsured or underinsured?

You may still have options for recovering compensation through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage or other available sources. An attorney can review your insurance policies and explain your rights.
