Steps to Take After an Accident

1

Seek Medical Attention

Your health comes first. See a doctor even if you feel fine -- many injuries have delayed symptoms that appear hours or days later. Medical records also serve as critical evidence for your case.

2

Document Everything

Photograph the scene, damage to all vehicles, and your injuries. Save medical bills, repair estimates, and any communication with insurance companies. Keep a journal of pain and recovery.

3

Find a Lawyer

An experienced personal injury attorney can protect your rights, handle insurance negotiations, and pursue fair compensation. Most work on contingency -- no upfront fees.

Potential Recoverable Losses

Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost wages and earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Vehicle repair or replacement
Rehabilitation and therapy costs
Emotional distress damages

Colorado Statute of Limitations

In Colorado, you generally have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim and 2 years for a wrongful death claim. Acting sooner preserves evidence and strengthens your case.

Colorado follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident.
