Why You Shouldn't Wait After a Denver Car Accident

Posted by Jeremy Rosenthal | Nov 11, 2019 | 0 Comments

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident in Denver or the greater Denver metropolitan area, you should not wait to contact an attorney about your case. The cost of delay can be serious for many reasons. There are strict timelines in which you must file your case, otherwise, it could be dismissed. Evidence may be lost, or people may move money around to avoid paying you what you are owed for your injuries. In any case, you deserve to be compensated for any injuries caused by a negligent driver.

The experienced personal injury attorneys at accidentdenver.com are here to help you get financial compensation for your injuries.

Why You Should Not Wait

There are several different reasons why it is important to contact a qualified personal injury attorney immediately after your car accident. Each reason is ultimately for the same purpose: to protect you and to protect your rights.

Statute of Limitations

Under Colorado law, a personal injury lawsuit related to a motor vehicle accident must be filed within three years of the date of the accident. If a person fails to file within this time period, the case will almost certainly be dismissed, even if you would have otherwise won your case.

This strict rule makes it incredibly important to bring your case to your attorney quickly so there is plenty of time to investigate, prepare, and file the strongest case possible.

Protecting Evidence

Evidence of a motor vehicle accident is best collected as soon after the accident as possible. This is true both for property damage as well as medical injuries. If these damages are not documented early on, they may disappear as they are repaired or healed. Without this evidence, it can be difficult to prove the injuries you suffered, and who was at fault for them. 

This could leave you open to having to pay when you were not the cause of the accident.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies

The risk of a lawsuit, coupled with talking to an attorney, can make insurance companies come to the table with better settlement offers than they might offer if they were forced to go to court. The earlier you come to your attorney, the more time you will both have to up the pressure on the insurance company and work to get a bigger and better settlement.
