Denver Car Accident Lawyers

After an accident, it’s wise to speak with a Denver car accident attorney. An experienced lawyer will investigate your case and gather evidence to prove the other driver’s negligence. Building a solid case and negotiating maximum compensation with insurance companies are two key reasons to hire a Denver auto accident attorney. 

Step 1. Call 911 for help. If you’re injured, ask for medical attention. A police officer should then arrive and make a police report. You’ll need that report later. 

Step 2. Don’t Argue with the other driver. It isn’t helpful, and you won’t be thinking clearly if you're hurt. 

Step 3. Get Witness information. Take down witnesses’ names and contact information, or ask them to text you their contact info. Police may not arrive immediately, and witnesses may not stick around. 

A busy officer may not talk to every witness even if they do. Without their names and contact information, those witnesses may be lost forever. 

Step 4. Document the scene. If you can, take photographs and video of the vehicles involved and the accident scene. Pictures and video help document dangerous driving conditions, roadway obstacles, vehicle conditions and damage, and other factors that may have contributed to the crash. 

Step 5. Exchange Insurance info. The police officer will write down the name of the other driver’s insurance company as part of the report - this is another reason to call the police. The policy limits may or may not be printed on the card. Get pictures of both sides of the card. Talking to any insurance company is not advised until you’ve spoken with your lawyer. 

Step 6. Be Polite. Be nice to the police officer. If the officer arrives after a long time, it’s not the officer’s fault. If you suspect the other driver was distracted or intoxicated, say something. 

Step 7. Take Your Stuff. If your car is getting towed, remove your valuable possessions. They could be stolen or lost, and it may take a long time before you can get inside again.

Step 8. No Social Media. Don’t post about the crash on any social media. You can only hurt your case. 

Step 9. Call a Lawyer. A smaller firm with a lower case volume will get you higher quality service and the best settlement over the firms you see on TV and buses that aim for the highest volume. It’s usually best to do this quickly. 

If you have questions, we don’t charge anything for a consultation and welcome your questions.
