Car Accident Injuries
Car accidents usually cause multiple blunt-force traumas to occupants. They suffer from various injuries, including:
- Neck injuries
- Whiplash
- Compressed nerves
- Broken bones
- Strains or strains
- Head injuries
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
- Back injuries
- Herniated discs
- Disfigurement
- Burns
- Paralysis
Many of our clients were immediately paralyzed at the scene of the accident and needed an ambulance to pick them up. Others, however, slowly watched as their physical condition degenerated over the following days and weeks. Ideally, accident victims should go immediately to the hospital to receive treatment to arrest the progression of any injury and give them the best odds of recovery.
Negligent Drivers & Car Accident
Most car accidents are probably caused by driver negligence. This means a motorist didn’t operate their car with reasonable care. Instead, they made some mistake behind the wheel which led to a crash:
- Speeding
- Driving too fast for conditions
- Tailgating
- Illegal passing
- Swerving in and out of lanes
- Failing to yield
- Failing to check a blind spot
- Lane change mistakes
- Right-on-red accidents
- Distracted driving
- Impaired or drunk drivers
When a negligent driver hits you, they are legally obligated to pay compensation to cover your losses.
Car Accident Settlements and Negotiations
Anyone injured in an accident should seek full compensation for lost income, medical expenses, property damage, pain, suffering, and disfigurement. Unfortunately, insurance companies in Colorado are too focused on their bottom line to offer fair compensation to injured victims.
Negotiations with insurance adjusters are complicated and oftentimes very frustrating. It is not unusual for an insurer to offer a meager initial settlement and try to strong arm you into signing it. Someone without a skilled Mesa car accident lawyer on their team might quickly sign to obtain desperately needed benefits. By signing, however, they give up the ability to seek additional compensation in the future.
Cimarron Ridge Legal Group can handle the entire negotiation process. We can obtain evidence, draft a demand letter, and haggle with the insurance adjusters to increase the amount of compensation offered. When negotiations reach an impasse, we can also file a lawsuit in court against the defendant and his insurer.
