Colorado Springs, Colorado, Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney
While most road accidents in Colorado involve basic fender benders and property damage, many also result in serious injuries and deaths, including brain injuries, head injuries, fractures, neck injuries, back injuries, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, nerve injuries, burns and scars, broken bones, dislocations, paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia, and spinal cord injuries.
I am attorney Gregory Chernushin, and I represent clients injured in motor vehicle accidents in Colorado Springs and throughout the state of Colorado. Having started out in a large personal injury law firm and spent years in a litigation practice, I am now dedicated to representing individual clients in their quest for justice.
You need a top attorney, especially in Colorado
Colorado is a "fault" state. To fully recover, an injured plaintiff has to prove that the other person was at fault, show that you did not contribute to the accident in any way, and prove that your injuries were directly caused by the accident. (However, the law does permit recovery for aggravation of a pre-existing condition.)
The big issue is, who will pay your medical bills? Because Colorado allows drivers to have minimal coverage of $25,000, there are many underinsured drivers out there, including 25 percent who have no insurance at all.
Again, technicalities, releases and permissions to settle claims make Colorado motor vehicle personal injury laws very complicated. A person who is unrepresented by a competent attorney faces a real challenge getting compensation for expenses like these:
- Medical bills
- Chiropractic bills
- Medication
- Future medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship by your family
- Emotional damages
- Lost wages
- Psychological counseling
Don't be under compensated
You absolutely need an experienced attorney to protect your rights, because the opposition will try to compensate you with much less than you rightfully deserve, even for basic medical expenses.
Even if you carry uninsured motorist coverage on your own insurance policy, the insurance company might try to deny or minimize your claim despite your faithfully having paid your premiums for years.
In addition, your medical insurance company might try to take a substantial part of any settlement you receive to cover its costs.
If you settle early and then need subsequent treatment, the insurance company might be off the hook. You must make sure future medical needs are covered.
Get a lawyer who knows how to win
Make sure your personal injury attorney in motor vehicle cases is aggressive and knowledgeable enough to fight for the settlement you deserve. Otherwise, you may be financially strapped as well as physically injured ... all through no fault of your own.
