Even the most minor car accidents cause victims significant inconvenience, often forcing them to take unpaid time off of work, set up vehicle repairs, and deal with their insurance company. Those involved in severe crashes fare far worse, often facing serious or even catastrophic injuries. The city of Boulder has made significant strides in its car accident prevention efforts, having invested in a crash dashboard that outlines major crash spots in the city and common causes of collisions.

But when you’re involved in a crash, you need to go one step further. With the help of a Boulder car accident attorney at Colorado Accident Attorneys, we can fight for the compensation you deserve. Call us at 303-567-7981 to get started or fill out a contact form here.

Common Types of Car Accidents

In general, car crashes are broken down into a few main categories:

  • Head-on: These are often the most severe crashes, commonly resulting in catastrophic or fatal injuries.
  • Side impact: This category includes both T-bone collisions and sideswipe accidents.
  • Rear-end: Rear-end accidents are often minor, but crashes that happen at high speeds can still cause serious property damage and bodily harm.
  • Single-vehicle: When a driver crashes into a tree, median, or other object, they may suffer serious injuries.
  • Multi-vehicle: Usually, this term is reserved for crashes involving three or more vehicles. Determining liability can be a time-consuming and complex challenge.

Injuries Caused by Collisions

The type and severity of injuries you suffer depends a lot on the type of crash you’re involved in and the speed of both vehicles. Commonly reported injuries include:

  • Broken bones
  • Cuts and scrapes
  • Bruising
  • Facial injuries
  • Muscle sprains and strains
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries

Some injuries are not immediately apparent. For example, internal bleeding may take hours to cause symptoms like bruising, fatigue, a cold feeling, and nausea. Without treatment, these injuries can increase in severity. That’s why it’s crucial to seek medical care as soon as possible after a collision. Boulder is home to many urgent care and emergency care facilities, including ZoomCare, Urgent Care at Boulder Medical Center, and Foothills Hospital.

Are You Entitled to Compensation?

If you can prove that someone else is liable for the crash and your injuries, you may be able to demand compensation. Victims of car crashes may receive damages for:

  • Medical expenses, including bills, travel costs, and over-the-counter supplies
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement
  • Property damage
  • Other related expenses

Keeping track of your expenses and gathering additional applicable evidence will be key in proving what type of compensation you deserve. In some cases, this is easy—proving medical expenses is often just a matter of keeping copies of the bills you receive. In others, it’s a little more complicated. A local car accident attorney in Boulder, CO at Colorado Accident Attorenys can guide you in keeping track of your non-economic damages, so keep track of every single cost you incur as a result of your accident.

How Our Car Accident Law Firm Can Help You

You’ve already been through a car accident—isn’t that enough? Do you really have to go up against the insurance company? Unfortunately, this is an unavoidable part of getting compensation after a car accident. Car insurance companies don’t want to spend money on inflated or fraudulent accident claims, so they conduct extensive investigations before offering a settlement. Over the years, this has gone from “protecting the company against false claims” to “maximizing profits by offering the lowest settlements in any way we can.”

As you can imagine, this means that many injured victims get taken advantage of by insurance companies. Insurance adjusters may explain that they cannot offer you compensation for your injuries due to a prior condition or injury. The problem is that it isn’t true; a fair settlement should still compensate you for the additional damage caused by their client’s actions.

We know that insurance companies go to great lengths to diminish victims’ claims, pin their injuries on other factors, or even try to put the blame on them. Our goal is to fight aggressively on behalf of every single client and get the settlement or jury award they truly deserve. We investigate your accident and injuries to determine liability and build a case that forces the insurance company to take you seriously.
