Get a seasoned car accident attorney on your side - call (719) 359-9000
Start by contacting either the at-fault party's insurer or your own insurance company if the motorist is uninsured. If you have an attorney, you can also have him or her deal with insurers.
You will need to provide evidence to support your claim and the compensation amount you need, including medical records, photographs of damage to your vehicle, and paperwork required in your claim. Make sure that you file your claim on time as there are statutes of limitations for car accident claims. The statute of limitations is the period of time an injury victim has to file a claim before the court will refuse to hear their case. According to the Colorado Revised Statutes section 13-80-102(1)(a), the statute of limitations for car accident cases in Colorado is two years. This means you only have two years from the date of your accident to file a claim. Once this time frame passes, you will lose your right to take your claim with the court and are no longer eligible to recover compensation.
During this time, it is important that you follow through with your physician's treatment plan and do not miss any appointments. Insurers usually try to find any excuse to deny a claim.
Sometimes insurance companies will settle a case fairly and quickly; however, this is not often the case. In many cases, you will have to negotiate a fair resolution using evidence of your accident and the subsequent expenses. When an insurer refuses to offer a favorable settlement, you may consider taking the case to court with the help of a legal team.
In either situation, you can prepare in advance by keeping detailed records and seeking medical treatment. Take photographs at the scene of a collision, record any and all expenses related to the wreck, and never admit fault. The more information, the better. Whatever you do, do not admit fault and consult with a legal professional before making any legal choices concerning your case.

Types of Car Accident Damages
Car accidents can leave a victim facing a number of different damages. The victim's car will need repairs or even replacement if it is totaled. They may have also had other property inside the car that was broken after the impact.

These injuries can include the following:
- Brain Injury

Following the accident and my injury, I was unsure of how to proceed and felt intimidated by what I imagined would be an overwhelming process to navigate. Ted evaluated my case and explained the process, answering all my questions. Throughout my case, Ted gave me thorough, accurate information and let me know exactly what to expect. The only surprise was that there were no surprises. Ted was always available to answer questions and kept me updated every step of the way.

I was injured in a car accident. On a recommendation, I went to see Ted Bills. When he explained a course of action, it really put my mind at ease. I was referred to a great physician for pain management, along with the chiropractic care I was already receiving. I dealt with Ted only, no associates, which was good. He made all the calls, handled the paperwork, everything. He checked on me various times, even during the stay-at-home order. My calls and questions were always returned and answered. Ted was very professional and thorough, explaining everything in depth. I'm so appreciative and thankful for Ted. I highly recommend The Law Firm Of Ted Bills for quality representation and assistance.- L. Woodard
