Experienced Avon & Vail Auto Accident Attorney Ready To Serve You

Also Serving Eagle County, Avon, and all of Colorado If You Have Been Injured in an Auto Accident

Car collision in Vail.Avon and  Vail are my two favorite towns in Eagle County. I know the area well, since my office is located on Frontage Road in Vail, which is one of the best places in the world to live. When I have time to spare, you might find me skiing the China Bowl, wildlife-watching in White River National Forest, or hiking from Wildridge to Vail.

I come and go a lot. Fortunately, Interstate 70, U.S. 6, U.S. 24, and S.H. 82 keep me well-connected to the rest of the state. One of the drawbacks of this area, however, is dangerous roads. I have passed by a horrific traffic accident too many times, wondering if it could have been prevented.

Few of us spend time thinking about the consequences of a catastrophic auto accident until one actually occurs. The consequences of such an accident start sinking in over the following days and weeks. Unfortunately, physical pain and emotional trauma are often accompanied by yet another unwelcome visitor to your life – financial distress. Contact me, an experienced Avon & Vail auto accident attorney.

The recovery period for a serious injury is probably the worst time for you to have to deal with money problems since it is the time when you are the least prepared to deal with it. Unfortunately, financial problems may be unavoidable as medical expenses mount and lost work time accumulates. If the accident was not your fault, this is grossly unfair to you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What should I do if the victim died in the accident?

If the accident was fatal, you can file a wrongful death claim. Depending on the circumstances, the victim’s spouse, children, or parents can file the lawsuit. Damages are typically substantial, and they go to surviving relatives.

Can I win a car accident claim even if the accident was partly my fault?

Maybe. Under Colorado’s comparative fault principles:

  • If you were under 50 percent at fault, you can receive discounted damages;
  • If you were 50 percent or more at fault, you will recover nothing.

A court will decide your percentage of fault.

Should I settle my claim or go to court?

Under most circumstances, you should try to settle first, and resort to a lawsuit only if the other side refuses to issue a fair settlement offer. You can settle a lawsuit any time before the final verdict is announced.

How can I collect damages if the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured?

The following options are commonly used:

  • You can rely on your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage if you have any;
  • If the other driver is a commercial driver, you might be able to sue the employer; or
  • You can rely on the defendant’s personal assets.

    Sometimes, other options are available as well.
