Automobile Accidents Attorney
What you need to know About Auto Accidents Lawyer
If you or a loved one have been injured in a motor vehicle accident that was the result of another's negligence or carelessness, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries including medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages. Insurance companies will do whatever they can to pay you as little as possible.
At The Law Office of Edward Smith we fight hard to recover all of the damages you are entitled to under Colorado law, not just what the insurance company may want to offer you. Keep in mind that it is in the insurance company's best interest to keep your recovery to a minimum and that is exactly why you need to consult an experienced Colorado auto accidents lawyer like Edward Smith who is an experienced auto accident lawyer serving in Boulder, Longmont, Frederick, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Loveland, Broomfield, Ft. Lupton, and Berthoud, Colorado. Whether you were injured in a car accident or a truck accident, The Law Office of Edward Smith will protect your rights and aggressively pursue damages to make you whole. From the moment you hire us we begin to work on your case and you will immediately be relieved of the stress of having to deal with the insurance company.
A common question car accident victims face is "When should I contact an attorney." If your injuries are serious enough to need a personal injury attorney it is important to speak with one soon after the accident and before speaking with the other driver's insurance company. It is very common for insurance adjusters to contact accident victims within a few days of the accident, before they have spoken with a personal injury attorney. There's a reason for this. The adjuster will want to ask you questions about how the accident happened and what injuries you sustained. They will either take notes or record your statement. The insurance company is looking for any useful information that will help their side and they know how to get it from you. Having The Law Office of Edward Smith on your side will prevent this from happening and prevent you from saying something to the insurance company that can drastically reduce the value of your case, or worse, eliminate it altogether.
Help with Medical Bills
One of the first things we examine on behalf of our clients is the issue of available insurance designed to cover auto accident related medical costs. Medical payment or "Med Pay" and health insurance are two forms of coverage that may be used to help cover the injured victim's medical costs. Many of our clients find themselves without any insurance to pay for accident related medical treatment. This places them in a situation where they cannot receive needed medical treatment without settling their claim prematurely and without knowing the full value of their case. At The Law Office of Edward Smith we work with doctors and other medical providers who will provide you with the medical treatment you need now to recover from your injuries. These medical providers will work with our office and understand that they will get paid in the future when you have completed treatment and your case is resolved.
Help with Reimbursement
For our clients with med pay and/or health insurance available to cover accident related medical costs, The Law Office of Edward Smith also works to keep the reimbursement back to the insurance company down. Most med pay and health insurance policies include language that allows them to seek reimbursement of the medical costs they paid directly from your recovery. We have a strong history of success in reducing and even eliminating the insurance company's reimbursement from our client's recovery. This means that when your accident case is finally resolved you will have more money in your pocket.
Coordination of Benefits
At The Law Office of Edward Smith we are involved with every aspect of our client's automobile accident case. We determine what medical benefits are available and work with both the client and the various insurance companies to coordinate medical benefits. Helping the client in this way further reduces the stress that comes from having to deal with medical costs. There are times for example when a client may have a small amount of med pay insurance and also have health insurance. It may be important to reserve some medical payment money for certain forms of treatment not covered by the client's health carrier. It may also be necessary to use some medical payment insurance to cover things such as a deductible, out-of-pocket or co-pay expenses. We work with the insurance companies involved to coordinate available medical benefits which in turn eliminates some of the stress that often occurs following a motor vehicle accident.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Claims
When you are injured in an auto accident that is caused by an uninsured driver, you may still be able to recover money damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses you sustain. We will look to your insurance company and pursue an uninsured motorist claim on your behalf.
Your insurance policy may also come into play if the at-fault driver does not have enough insurance to pay for all your losses. When the other driver has some insurance, but not enough to fully compensate you for all your damages, your underinsured motorist coverage will be available to make up the difference.
There are certain procedures that must be followed when pursuing an uninsured or underinsured motorist claim. Failure to follow these procedures can result in you losing any right to recover damages. Because of this, it is recommended that you contact our office if you believe you have an uninsured or underinsured motorist claim before taking any steps to resolve your claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
