Common Causes of Car Accidents in Lakewood

Most car accidents are caused by driver error or poor judgment. 

Leading causes of car accidents in Lakewood include:

  • Drunk driving
  • Using a cell phone while driving or other forms of distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Reckless or aggressive driving
  • Making improper turns
  • Unsafe passing
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Failing to yield the right-of-way
  • Driving unsafely for the current weather or road conditions

An experienced attorney can investigate your crash to determine why it happened. 

Common Injuries Car Accident Victims Sustain

Collisions can cause serious injuries due to the combined force of the speed at which both vehicles are traveling and its profound impact on the human body. 

Some common injuries car accident victims suffer include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries and head injuries
  • Broken and dislocated bones
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Shoulder, knee, and joint injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Soft tissue and connective tissue injuries 

At Zaner Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we will fight for the compensation you deserve after sustaining such severe injuries. 

What Financial Compensation Can I Recover After a Lakewood Car Accident?

Car accident victims may be able to recover compensation for their economic and non-economic damages. 

Economic damages include those losses that have a direct financial impact, such as:

  • Past, current, and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced income capacity
  • Car repairs 

Non-economic damages 

  • Permanent disabilities and impairments
  • Costs to repair or replace your damaged vehicle 
  • Pain and suffering 
  • Loss of quality of life

Non-economic damages provide compensation related to your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and mental anguish following the car accidents or disabilities it has caused. 

How Much Is My Car Accident Case Worth?

Every car accident case is different. 

Various factors can affect the potential value of your personal injury case, including:

  • The extent of your injuries
  • The impact the injuries have on your life
  • Your age and health before the accident
  • Whether your injuries cause permanent impairments or disabilities 
  • The value of your economic damages
  • The insurance available to cover your claims
  • Whether you were partially at fault for the accident

The best way to learn about your case’s value is to work with a lawyer experienced at handling claims like yours. 

Can I Recover Compensation If I Am Found Partially At Fault for the Accident? 

Yes. Colorado is a modified comparative negligence state. As long as you are not more than 49% responsible for the accident, you can still pursue compensation for your accident-related losses and injuries. 

However, your damages are reduced by your degree of fault. Suppose you are found 20% at fault for an accident in which you sustained $100,000 in damages. In this scenario, your damages would be reduced by $20,000 or 20% in proportion to your degree of fault. 

How Can I Prove Fault for an Auto Accident in Lakewood? 

It’s not uncommon for the other driver or their insurance company to try to blame you for the accident. 

Evidence may be able to help show who is really at fault, which might include:

  • Police reports and traffic citations
  • Pictures of the accident scene and damage to vehicles
  • Witness statements
  • Videos from traffic cameras, dash cams, or surveillance cameras

In some cases, it may be necessary to hire an accident reconstruction expert. 

What Is the Deadline to File a Lawsuit After a Car Crash in Colorado?

Colorado’s statute of limitations for car accident cases is three years. If you have not settled your case or filed a lawsuit within three years of the accident date, you can lose your right to recover compensation.

Testimonials

What our clients say

  • Best law firm in Denver!

    By far Zaner Law Personal Injury Lawyers law is absolutely the best and only Law Firm you should go to if you have a personal injury claim. I was treated like I was part of their family and they gave my case the utmost attention and respect. Hands down I would recommend this Firm to anyone who needs legal assistance. Thank you Kurt and Sarah!

  • Zaner Law Personal Injury Lawyers is the Best.

    My daughter was a passenger in a car accident and was injured pretty badly. Me and my wife asked a friend that worked accident claims for a major insurance company, “What is a law firm that you really hate to see coming?” She answered, ZanerHarden, so that’s who we chose. I can see why that was her answer because they were very thorough and got us the full policy limits from the insurance company and even though it was a horrible experience for us and especially our daughter to go through, she can go to school to be a veterinarian now, which is her dream and come out debt free. Thank you guys for working so hard for us.

  • The team is outstanding to work with.

    Britt and his team went above and beyond what I ever thought possible. Superheroes work here.

  • Our story was impressively told. Kurt, Sarah, Jenny, and the team at Zaner Law Personal Injury Lawyers - thank you so much for all you do. You are truly the best in the business!

    My wife and I have had the privilege of working with Kurt, Sarah, and Jenny for the past few years. From the first time we met them, they made us feel like family. I was injured in an electrical accident in 2018 and developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) from it. We live on the Western Slope of Colorado, where we run a small business. Kurt and Sarah made the extra effort to travel across the state to spend time with us, to see how we live and work, and to truly get to know us better before the trial. We have never met a team that works this cohesively and effortlessly together. They approached our case with professionalism and compassion as they prepared for three and a half long years to present our story. During our grueling two week trial, we were incredibly grateful to have this team supporting and encouraging us as they passionately exposed the truth and fought for accountability. Their dedication, long nights, and knowledge won us the case. When they say “your story will be heard,” they mean it. There aren't many people in this world that will fight tirelessly and believe so passionately in justice for you. This team does just that, and your trust is not misplaced in them. They are amazing. We can truly say that we have been blessed to have them in our lives and they will be in our family forever. Our story was impressively told. Kurt, Sarah, Jenny, and the team at Zaner Law Personal Injury Lawyers – thank you so much for all you do. You are truly the best in the business!
