Denver Personal Injury Lawyers

Q: How much are my injuries worth?

The value of your injuries depends on factors including the severity of the injury, the cost of medical treatment, lost wages and the impact on your quality of life; in Colorado you may recover economic damages such as medical expenses and lost income and noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering, and each case is unique so you should discuss the details with an attorney for a personalized assessment.

Q: If I decide to sue, will I have to go to court?

Not necessarily; many personal injury cases in Colorado settle out of court through negotiations with the insurance company or responsible party, but if a fair settlement cannot be reached you may need to go to court, and our firm is prepared to represent your interests both in settlement negotiations and at trial.

Q: What should I say to insurance adjusters when they call?

Provide only basic information such as your name, contact details and the date and location of the accident and avoid giving detailed statements or discussing fault, since anything you say can be used against you; it is usually best to consult an attorney before giving recorded or substantive statements to an adjuster.

Q: What are the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Colorado?

Generally, you must file a personal injury lawsuit in Colorado within two years from the date of the accident (this applies to slip-and-fall, wrongful death, defective products and many traumatic injuries), while motor vehicle accident victims typically have three years to file; exceptions can apply and missing the deadline can forfeit your right to recover, so consult an attorney promptly.

Q: What should you do after suffering a personal injury in Colorado?

Report the accident to law enforcement, seek medical attention right away, document the scene and your injuries with photos if possible, collect witness information, preserve records of treatment and lost income, report the incident to your insurer, and contact an experienced personal injury attorney to begin building your case and protect your rights.

Q: What does working on contingency mean for personal injury lawyers?

Working on a contingency fee means the attorney does not charge upfront legal fees and instead collects an agreed-upon portion of the recovery only if they obtain compensation for you through settlement or trial, allowing clients to pursue claims regardless of ability to pay hourly legal fees.

If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident or other incident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should not have to suffer financially. Medical bills, lost wages and other expenses should be covered by the at-fault party’s insurance carrier. Unfortunately, insurance companies don’t always see it that way, which is why it is important to enlist the help of a knowledgeable personal injury attorney.

Insurance companies are focused on their bottom line. They work to minimize the amount of money they pay out and often refuse to pay legitimate claims. At The Viorst Law Offices, P.C., our attorneys fight back against these practices to help clients claim the compensation they deserve. We take all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. We only collect an attorney fee if we help you recover money, and your initial consultation is free.

Put Our Experience In Your Corner

At The Viorst Law Offices in Denver, we help injured parties throughout Colorado stand up to big insurance companies and recover the full amount they deserve. We have been fighting on behalf of the injured for more than three decades. We understand the tactics insurance companies use to undervalue claims or reject them altogether.

We will conduct our own investigation and collect extensive evidence to support your claim. We work closely with accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals and others who provide detailed information that will bolster your case.

These cases often require extensive resources and litigation experience to resolve. Although a high percentage of injury lawsuits are resolved without litigating, it is important to work with an attorney, like those at our firm, who has extensive courtroom experience. Insurance companies have their own experienced lawyers who will seize the opportunity to take advantage of an injured party who is not adequately represented. You should have a professional fighting just as hard for you.

The Knowledge To Take On Complex Cases

Firm founder Anthony Viorst has a strong track record of success both in and out of the courtroom. One of the reasons for this success is his in-depth knowledge of the law. He frequently publishes articles for other trial lawyers on novel legal ideas and complex concepts. For instance, in car accident cases, lawyers can sometimes bring a claim of negligent entrustment against vehicle owners who lend their vehicle to someone they know to be an irresponsible driver. Mr. Viorst has also written about the difficulties of pursuing claims against government agencies and employees because of the broad protections provided by the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act.

You deserve to work with a lawyer who knows the law and understands how to make it work for you. That’s what we offer each client who walks through our doors.

Positive Results And Personal Attention

We understand how stressful it can be to be injured, unable to work and facing a mountain of bills. We provide personal attention that larger law firms cannot match. Mr. Viorst communicates with clients directly and returns messages promptly. You will always be informed of the status of your case and what options you have.

We have experience representing clients in a wide range of injury lawsuits, from car accidents to slip-and-fall accidents, animal attacks or other injuries that occurred as a result of unsafe conditions on public or private property.

Answers To Frequently Asked Personal Injury Questions

Prospective clients are often filled with questions after a serious accident. We’ve taken the time to answer some of the most common questions below.

How much are my injuries worth?

The value of your injuries can depend on several factors, including the severity of the injury, the cost of medical treatment, lost wages and any impact on your quality of life. In Colorado, you may be entitled to compensation for economic damages that have a direct cost, like medical bills and lost income. You may also be entitled to noneconomic damages or those without a direct cost, like pain and suffering. Each case is unique, so it’s important to discuss the details with an attorney who can provide a more personalized assessment.

If I decide to sue, will I have to go to court?

Not necessarily. Many personal injury cases in Colorado are settled out of court through negotiations with the insurance company or the responsible party. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, going to court may be necessary to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Our firm is prepared to represent your interests both in and out of the courtroom.

What should I say to insurance adjusters when they call?

When speaking to insurance adjusters, you need to be very cautious. You should provide only basic information, such as your name, contact details, and the date and location of the accident. Avoid giving detailed statements or discussing fault, as anything you say could be used against you. It is often best to consult with an attorney before speaking with an insurance adjuster to ensure you don’t say anything that could jeopardize your case.

What are the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Colorado?

In Colorado, a person who has suffered a personal injury as a result of another person’s negligence typically must file a claim within two years from the date of the accident. This statute of limitation applies to slip-and-fall accidents, wrongful death, defective products and traumatic injuries.

However, a victim of a motor vehicle accident typically has three years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Some exceptions do apply, allowing the statute of limitations to be paused or begin once a person becomes 18 years of age.

Failing to meet the statute of limitations for a case can lead to the loss of compensation. Our attorneys can help ensure you prepare and file your personal injury case before you miss your deadline.

What should you do after suffering a personal injury in Colorado?

If you have suffered a personal injury, you should report the accident to law enforcement and get medical attention right away. If possible, document the scene and your injuries with photos. You can also reach out to our firm to discuss your accident, discuss your legal rights and begin building your case to recover maximum compensation for medical bills, property damages and other financial losses.

What does working on contingency mean for personal injury lawyers?

Our attorneys want to help you regardless of your financial situation. That is why we offer a contingency fee basis. When a claim is taken on a contingency fee basis, you will not be charged for our help unless we can recover compensation for your injuries and financial losses either via negotiation or at trial. You will then pay only an agreed-upon portion of what you receive.
