Even if you walked away from your accident with just a headache, you still may be able to qualify for compensation – additionally, a small headache can develop into a serious head injury.
Proving Liability in a Personal Injury Case
In order to collect or recover from a personal injury or wrongful death claim in Glenwood Springs, you have to prove the following:
- You've suffered injuries, damages or losses
- Other person was negligent
- Other person caused injuries, damages, losses
Communicating with Insurance Companies
One of the many services our attorneys provide when we handle personal injury cases is communicating with insurance adjusters after your accident. While some people may think they can trust insurance companies to listen to them and do the right thing, in reality, insurance companies focus on looking out for themselves and their revenue. They often use what clients say over the phone against them to undermine their claims.
Our own attorney Gary Doehling has more than 40 years of experience working on the side of large insurance companies, giving us the edge we need to understand adjuster strategies and counter their moves. When you work with us, you can rest assured knowing you won’t have to communicate directly with insurance adjusters again.
