Do I Need an Attorney If I’ve Been Offered a Settlement? 

It is in your best interest to retain the help of our experienced attorneys even if you have been offered a settlement. The opposing counsel and insurance company do not have your best interest in mind. In many cases, insurance company representatives offer people low-ball settlements with the hope they settle before retaining counsel.

Retaining a personal injury attorney is an important part of making sure you get the compensation you deserve. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help guide you through the legal process, ensure all deadlines are met, and negotiate effectively with opposing parties to protect your rights. 

In addition, a skilled attorney can help uncover any hidden information or evidence that could be beneficial to your case. They understand the ins and outs of the law so they know what strategies will work most effectively for you to achieve fair compensation and justice. 

More importantly, an experienced attorney can help you calculate your damages (i.e. the compensation for your injuries and losses). In personal injury cases, there are three types of damages you can recover: 

• Compensatory damages, which refers to the compensation for the expenses you incurred because of the accident and injuries. This can include medical expenses, lost income, lost potential income, and property damage costs. 
• Pain and suffering damages, which refers to the compensation for your non-economic damages (i.e. losses that do not have a price like loss of quality of life, loss of consortium, etc.). These damages can be more complicated to calculate as no amount of money can atone for your suffering or misery. Colorado courts typically use two methods to calculate these damages; the multiplier method involves multiplying your compensatory damages by a figure between one and half and five (based on the severity of your injury). The per diem method involves assigning a monetary value to each day the victim suffers injuries from the date of the incident to the date of maximum medical improvement. 
• Punitive damages, which refers to compensation the court awards to punish the liable party for grossly negligent conduct.
