If you have been in an accident, you will have lots of questions. Here are our answers to some of the most common questions. 

WHAT TO KNOW AFTER AN ACCIDENT

What should I do if I've been in an accident?

Immediately following any sort of personal injury, your safety and health should come first. First, seek the appropriate medical attention. Then, document everything and gather evidence. For example: 
Gather insurance information from the other parties involved;
  • Safely take pictures of the scene; 
  • Gather contact information from witnesses;
  • Keep records of medical treatment and expenses; and
  • Keep the documentation related to property damages.
Sometimes injuries at the scene of the accident are not readily apparent. If you realize that you are hurt following the crash, seek medical attention when appropriate even if you refused medical assistance at the scene. 

WHAT SHOULD I TELL THE INSURANCE COMPANY ABOUT MY ACCIDENT?

If you were involved in an accident and were hurt, we suggest that you consult with an attorney before speaking to the involved insurance companies. We are here to help. 

WHAT IF THE ACCIDENT WAS MY FAULT AND I WAS PARTLY TO BLAME?

Colorado operates under a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you are partly at fault, as long as your fault is not equal to or more than the other party. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage you were at fault. We can help assess your situation, evaluate your case, and advocate on your behalf for a fair outcome. 

HOW MUCH IS MY PERSONAL INJURY CASE WORTH?

Every personal injury case is unique. It's impossible to understand the full value of a personal injury claim at the initial case meeting. There are a number of factors that can impact case value. These factors include, but are not limited to, severity and permanency of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, how the accident happened, and the impact on quality of life. 

We look at the universe of information involved in a personal injury case and will value the case after performing a complete review of the case once the client has completed or neared the end of medical treatment.  

WHAT TYPES OF DAMAGES ARE AVAILABLE IN PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS?

In Colorado, personal injury claimants are permitted to seek 3 categories of damages:
  1. Economic damages - Classic economic damages include medical expenses and lost income.
  2. Non-economic damages - Non-economic damages include emotional pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, frustration, and inconvenience. 
  3. Permanent physical impairment and disfigurement. 

We can help you understand the damages sustained in your accident. We will advocate on your behalf to restore your economic losses. Our goal is to ensure that you can move forward in your life with confidence, knowing that you have been compensated fairly.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR A PERSONAL INJURY CASE TO RESOLVE?

The duration of a personal injury case can vary greatly. Some cases settle quickly, while others may take longer. The length of time for a case to resolve depends on its complexity, the negotiation process with the insurance companies, and the litigation leading up to trial. We know that it can be difficult to wait as your case proceeds through all the necessary steps. We strive to resolve all our clients' claims as efficiently as possible for optimal value. 

At Hailey | Hart, we are committed to standing by your side and providing the support you need. With our guidance, you can navigate the legal process with confidence and peace of mind.

on working with elizabeth:

"I was the victim in a car accident while pregnant and I couldn’t have had a better lawyer to help me through the process. She was there for me during all my court proceedings, handled the details behind the scenes so I didn’t have to worry about them, and even located a medical professional who specializes in cases like mine to provide necessary information on my injuries."

- J.J.

on working with Melissa:

"I can't begin to say enough about the professional integrity, work ethic, and legal aptitude of Melissa Hailey. She recently handled an emotional case for me related to a house fire involving a large insurance company. She dealt with it with exceptional legal skill and tenacity, all the while constantly being aware and taking into account my personal well-being. Her mastery of an overwhelmingly complex set of circumstances was above reproach."
