For many people, a serious motor vehicle accident will be among the most traumatic experiences of their lives.
In some cases, injuries will be immediately apparent and require emergency medical treatment. However, in many cases, serious injury will not be obvious, and may present days, weeks or event months later. This is particularly true of head injuries, nerve injuries, and muscle and ligament damage, including neck injuries and other soft-tissue injuries.
For this reason, most injury victims are best served by calling police to the scene to make a police report, seeking medical treatment, and contacting an experienced San Luis Valley car accident attorney.
The truth of the matter is that insurance companies are in business to make money. From the moment your insurance company, or the insurance company of an at-fault party, is notified, your claim will be assigned to a team of insurance adjusters, investigators, and legal and medical experts with one goal: to limit your ability to collect damages. The more serious the injuries, the more senior and experienced the team assigned to your case.
At the Larson Law Firm, we believe anyone dealing with serious personal injury or wrongful death as a result of a motor-vehicle accident, deserves immediate access to an experienced San Luis Valley car accident attorney. That’s why we offer free and confidential consultations and take cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing up front. We only get paid if we are successful in making a financial recovery on your behalf.

Common types of auto accident injury claims in Colorado include:
Your chosen car accident law firm in San Luis Valley must identify all of the responsible parties, as well as their insurance companies. Failure to do so can seriously limit a victim’s ability to collect all of the damages to which they are entitled. Colorado’s mandatory minimum auto insurance law requires motorists to carry bodily injury coverage of just $25,000 per person/$50,000 per accident, as well as $15,000 in property damage coverage. In cases of serious injury, or multiple victims, these limits are often inadequate. In some cases, other liable parties may be identified, including your own insurance company in cases where a victim carries uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
To prove an auto accident injury claim in Colorado a victim must show:
But, while that is the basic legal threshold for success, the reality is your chosen San Luis Valley car accident lawyer must have the experience and financial resources necessary to build a cases for damages that forces an insurance carrier and their lawyers to make a full and fair settlement offer, as well as a reputation for taking cases to trial and winning clients the justice they deserve.
