You should research the firm before you consider hiring one of
the attorneys. Ask for information regarding the lawyer's education,
training and experience with cases similar to yours. For personal
injury claims, be sure the lawyer is familiar with the laws in
Colorado or the state where the accident or injury occurred. Also,
review the fee contract in detail with the lawyer to make sure you
understand how you will pay the lawyer's fees and costs at the end
of the case.
We spend much of our time obtaining information from clients
during the initial contact. We need as much detail as you can
provide about your personal injury case. While not necessary, it is
helpful to us if you have an accident report, insurance claim
numbers and copies of your own insurance policies at the time of the
initial interview. Once we have the necessary information, we can
make informed decisions about whether to accept your case. This
information is also vital to determine how to pursue your case.
You will meet with one of our team of experienced personal injury
attorneys at the time of your first appointment with our firm. Our
attorneys and staff are professional and courteous, and we do our
best to make you feel at ease. We allow plenty of time to meet with
you and discuss your potential claim. We will discuss the facts of
your case and explain the personal injury laws as they might apply
to your case and other consumer information. Based in Colorado, our
lawyers handle cases throughout the country and the initial
consultation with our team is always free.
We handle most cases on a contingent fee basis, which means we do
not get paid unless you make a recovery. We explain the full details
of the fee and cost agreement you have with our firm before we begin
representing you on your claim.
We represent most of our personal injury clients on a contingent
fee basis. We advance the money for expenses incurred during our
representation while a case is pending. In a successful case, the
out-of-pocket expenses are your responsibility. If and when your
case reaches a successful conclusion, the money our firm has spent
is repaid out of your recovery. For more on this topic or other
consumer or legal information, contact a personal injury attorney at
our Colorado firm.
Accepting a settlement offer can be a difficult decision. We
always present you with the pros and cons of settling your case
before trial. We provide you with information regarding the fairness
of the settlement offer, but the final decision is always yours.
