Frequently Asked Questions

You should often consider hiring an attorney for accidents, especially if you have injuries that caused you to seek medical treatment. While you can handle the situation with your health or car insurance depending on your injuries it may not be in your best interest. The odds of an insurance company giving you a low offer are more significant as an individual. Once you get an attorney involved, especially one that knows the ins and outs of insurance and the legal world they can likely get you a better outcome. In fact, personal injury claims that are handled by an attorney average 3x larger 

This varies. There are some attorneys on TV who say, “I can tell you what your case is worth!” Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. You have to know the limit of the other insurance carrier who hit you before we can see how much your case could potentially be worth. Settlements also depend on your need for medical treatment.

Just give us a call. We do a thorough intake where an intake specialist interviews you to get a better idea of the case at hand. They then relay all of this information to an attorney. The attorney can then accept your case and recommend a lean company to help with medical care. If the case doesn’t fit our exact expertise, we are more than happy to direct you to another resource that can help.

A bad faith insurance claim is one of your options to get the compensation you deserve when your insurance company does not process, investigate, or pay your insurance claim fairly. Since insurance companies are often large, powerful, and have a better understanding of their contracts, they sometimes can take advantage of their customers. Or in times of disaster, to avoid large amounts of payouts all at once, some companies use bad faith tactics to reduce your settlement. In this case, you can file a lawsuit against your insurance company for the proper amount. Our experienced insurance attorneys can help you figure out if your insurance company is acting in bad faith and represent you in filing a lawsuit if necessary.

You do not need a lawyer to file a bad faith claim against your insurer, however, the process can be difficult for those unfamiliar with it. The insurance policies can add more confusion because of the fine print technical terms. There are several steps you must take to file a bad faith claim, such as sending a demand letter and deciding what court in which to file. Insurance companies, on the other hand, have teams of lawyers to fight on their behalf which further amplifies the issue.

Our attorneys are well-versed in the Colorado legal system and have years of experience winning claims against insurance companies for our clients. You want someone on your side that can help you navigate through the frustration to get your compensation.

If you suspect that your insurer acted in bad faith towards you following a claim, you have a variety of options to resolve the matter.

-You can file a complaint with the Colorado insurance board.

-You can submit a complaint directly to your insurance company.

-You can file a bad faith lawsuit against your insurer to collect fair payment.

Your insurance company acts in bad faith when they deny or lower a settlement with a reasonable justification. This can be done in a variety of ways that may seem like standard practices to people not involved in the world of insurance.

Examples of bad faith tactics may include: paying less than your claim is worth, denying your claim without reason, failing to properly investigate your claim, extending waiting periods without cause, failing to provide information about your claim in a reasonable time frame, providing false reasoning for the denial of a claim, changing deductibles and waiting periods without notice, increasing premiums without notice, terminating your coverage as a result of your claim, as well as misrepresenting the wording of your policy.
