What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do to Help After a Sterling Accident?

A personal injury lawyer can provide invaluable legal advocacy and support in the aftermath of an accident. Your attorney can:

Help identify defendants who are to blame. There may be multiple parties liable for losses. For example, trucking companies can be held vicariously liable for the negligent actions of truckers performing work duties.
Gather evidence to build a strong case. You will need to prove that the defendant breached a duty and caused you harm. Your attorney can help you gather medical records, police reports, witness testimony, driving logs, security camera footage, cell phone records, expert testimony, eyewitness testimony, and other evidence necessary to prove your case.
Negotiate a settlement. Many cases settle outside of court, but insurers often make lowball offers to try to pay as little as possible. With the right legal help, your attorneys can send a demand letter and negotiate a settlement that makes sense for you so you can avoid the stress of court.
Go to court to present your case. If no settlement can be reached, you need to be represented by an experienced Sterling wrongful death attorney who is a skilled litigator and who can present compelling evidence to maximize the chances of a successful verdict.

Our legal team has what it takes to fight for you, and our long track record of successful verdicts and settlements shows that we can be effective advocates.

Who Can You Sue After a Personal Injury in Sterling?

When someone hurts you in Sterling, it’s important to understand who could be liable for your losses. Potential defendants include:

Property owners after a slip and fall or other injury on their property
Dog owners after a bite incident
Careless drivers after a pedestrian, bicycle, or motorcycle accident or a car crash
Truck drivers and trucking companies after a collision with a commercial motor vehicle
Rideshare drivers after a rideshare accident (some rideshare companies also provide third-party liability coverage, so you could pay for your losses)
Nursing home staff and the nursing home after nursing home abuse
Organizations that look the other way and facilitate sexual assault, or online companies that make children vulnerable to assault due to a failure to take basic safety precautions
Rideshare companies that hire unsafe drivers who commit sexual assault

Colorado Revised Statutes § 13-21-111 establishes comparative fault rules in Colorado, so as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the incident, you can take legal action against the other parties who are responsible for harming you. You can recover at least partial compensation, even if you share the blame.

Will I have to travel to Fort Collins if I hire Hadfield, Stieben, & Doutt?

How long do I have to file a claim in Colorado?

Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years or three years under Colorado’s statute of limitations, though some cases have shorter deadlines.

Colorado Revised Statutes § 13-80-101 sets the statute of limitations for motor vehicle accident claims at three years
Colorado Revised Statutes § 13-80-102 establishes a two-year statute of limitations for other personal injury claims.

If you do not file your claim within the statute of limitations, your case could be time-barred. This would mean that you are not allowed to move forward with making a claim.
