Navigating Colorado Motorcycle Laws
Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence law, meaning your compensation could be reduced if you share fault for the collision. Your attorney will work to minimize any fault attributed to you. We can also consider the role other laws and regulations could play in your case, such as identifying the traffic laws the at-fault driver violated to cause your collision.
Negotiating With Insurance Companies
Our attorneys know how to deal with insurance adjusters. We will handle all communications with insurance companies. This service protects you from tactics that could undermine your claim. We will also draft and send demand letters to the insurance company, demanding they pay you fairly. This step usually leads to negotiations. Our attorneys will advocate for a fair settlement that will help you secure the payout you deserve based on the case facts.
Litigation
If the insurance carrier will not make a fair offer or the case is especially complex, our attorneys can file a lawsuit and manage the steps necessary to prepare the case for trial.
