What to Do After a Car Accident

No two car accidents are the same, which means that the best procedure for handling an accident will always be different. However, the following few steps should be completed after any accident.

1. Move to Safety

In order to make sure that you are not injured any further and that your car does not take any more damage, move as quickly as possible to a safe location. If your car is still running, this may be pulling off to the side of the road or into a nearby parking lot. In a serious accident, you may be forced to exit your car. Always be mindful of oncoming traffic, and above all else, be safe.

2. Seek Medical Attention

After you are in a safe location, assess your body and evaluate what kind of medical attention may be necessary. If emergency medical attention is needed, don’t delay in calling for it. Remember that the adrenaline from an accident can mask the pain from an injury, meaning that what seems like a relatively minor injury may be fairly serious.

3. Report the Accident

When the police arrive on the scene, report the facts of the accident to them. It is important that you be as thorough as possible while the details of what happened are fresh on your mind. It is difficult to determine what facts may be important in an eventual lawsuit, so include what may seem insignificant to you at the time.

4. Document the Accident

After you have talked to the police, begin to document the accident yourself. This includes things like getting the insurance information from the other parties involved, taking pictures of your vehicle and the surrounding area, and getting contact information from any potential witnesses.

5. Contact an Attorney

Car accident claims are complex and intricate; it can be easy to make mistakes if you are going the road alone. Contacting an experienced attorney early on in the process will give you one less thing to worry about during a stressful time.

What Not to Do after a Car Accident

1.) Do NOT Leave the Scene Of The Accident

In most situations, leaving the scene of an accident, even a minor one, is illegal. Your best option is to stay put until law enforcement arrives and offer help in any way that you can.

2.) Do NOT Agree to Not Call Authorities

Even when an accident is minor, the drivers should contact law enforcement. Law enforcement can create a record of the accident and provide aid if needed. If the accident is serious, you should call 911 immediately.

3.) Do NOT Ignore Injuries

Car accidents are traumatic, and occasionally drivers are so shocked by the entire experience that they forget to stop and realistically evaluate their injuries and their passengers’ injuries. It is always a good idea to seek medical attention after an accident, even if you think you are only bumped and bruised.

4.) Do NOT Admit Fault

Admitting fault would mean that the other driver has no legal liability to cover possible injury-related costs.  You can tell law enforcement what happened without admitting that the accident was your fault. This is particularly important when it is unclear whose fault the accident actually was. If you ran a red light while the other driver did nothing wrong, then whether you admit fault or not probably won’t matter much in the long run.

5.) Do NOT Call Your Insurance Company

The first conversation you have with your insurance provider is crucial in determining what happens next, so it’s always better to wait until you have a full picture of the situation.  It’s hard to have the presence of mind to make the right calls after a car accident.

Causes of Auto Accidents

Boulder Car Accident Statistics

Whether you are in the congested streets of downtown Boulder or the winding mountain roads surrounding the city, Colorado drivers often find themselves at a high risk of an accident. Below are some statistics concerning car accidents in and around Boulder.

• According to information collected by the CDOT, there have already been 290 fatalities resulting from traffic accidents in 2019.

• In Boulder, accidents peak during the summer months as the warmer weather allows for people to get out on the roads to enjoy the state’s hiking and other outdoor activities.

• Some of the most dangerous roads for drivers include mountain passes like the Loveland Pass; these roads become especially dangerous during the winter when they are slick with ice and snow.

Common Causes of Accidents

Motorists throughout Boulder drive down the roadways while texting, talking, eating, reading or doing other tasks that are not related to driving. Any time a driver is distracted and drives carelessly or recklessly, an accident can occur. Distracted driving is one of the most prevalent problems facing Americans today and the outcomes of any of these accidents can be catastrophic. Some of the types of car accident injury claims we can assist with include:

• Multi Vehicle Accidents
• Rear-End Accidents
• Head-On Accident
• Driving While Texting
• Drunk Driving
• Uninsured Driving
• Underinsured Motorists

Making a Car Accident Claim

When you want to seek compensation for injuries resulting from a car accident, there are a few steps you should complete.

1. Contact an Attorney

As stated before, the legal process is long and complicated. Hiring an experienced attorney who will fight for you is an important first step in any lawsuit.

2. Information Gathering

Once you have hired an attorney, they can begin the process of gathering the necessary information. This includes things like looking over police reports, analyzing any pictures or video footage of the accident that may be available, and conducting interviews with witnesses.

3. Negotiate a Settlement

Once your attorney has a solid handle on the facts of the case, they can begin to negotiate a favorable settlement with the other party or parties. At this juncture, it is critical that you have an experienced attorney on your side, as the other parties involved will naturally want to pay out as little as possible.

They kept me up to date, kept me informed every step of the way, and ensured I understood the process and all of my options. Burgess, Ryan and their extremely capable staff of Paralegals made a very challenging process as painless as possible. They were kind, compassionate, and patient, and just a real pleasure to work with. I would, and will, recommend them highly to anyone needing an attorney.

Zinda Law did an excellent job for us from start to finish. They communicated clearly and their staff was great! My son Nic was in a car accident and had an injury to his eye. Zinda Law took care of everything start to finish and obtained the maximum amount possible from insurance for his injury.

Shelly Ruedin

I am so glad I called Zinda law group. being hit by a drink driver was the worst experience of my life physically and emotionally. As soon as I reached out they got the ball rolling with all my medical needs. They were in contact with all of my appointments and made my recovery as smooth as possible. I would definitely without a doubt recommend them. A huge shout out to Shivangi for taking over and fighting for what my family and I deserved.

Veronica Portillo

My experience with Zinda Law Group has been OUTSTANDING! Big shoutout to Joe Caputo and his team!I was the passenger in a terrible car accident that left me needing medical attention. The person at faults insurance company reassured me that my medical bills would be taken care of. However, that was not the case. I started receiving multiple calls from debt collectors, and bill after bill by mail. The driver’s insurance company no longer returned my calls, and emails went unanswered. I was so stressed and over my head with how to handle the situation. It was time to call the pros! As soon as I made the call to Zinda Law Group, Joe and his team I were on it! I no longer received calls from debt collectors, so I knew action was taken immediately. I was informed every step of the way, and every call/email was answered. Had I called sooner, I would have never gone through all that stress. I was treated like a friend, not just a client.Thank you Zinda Law Group!

KJ Matocha

I hired Zinda for a crazy situation involving an 18 wheeler where an object flew off a trailer and blasted through my windshield.I reached out to Zinda and spoke with Michael Cupero, my attorney at Zinda, after the accident once I realized this is affecting my day to day life in a significant way (PTSD from a "Final Destination" type of incident) and Michael was nothing short of fantastic through the entire process.The Zinda team, including Michael and Mary-Catherine Holt and several others, guided me through the entire process from initial settlement offers, filing the lawsuit, depositions, the whole 9.They listened to my concerns, provided clarity and perspective when needed, and not once did I feel that my best interest was not at the forefront of their actions and behavior through my experience as a client.Thank you Michael, Mary-Catherine and Zinda!If you want a team that will treat you with professionalism, respect, and understanding then do yourself a favor and reach out to Zinda!

Dyllan Larson

Extremely professional and communicative . They explained the process as we went along and made it very clear weighting pros and cons. They understood my pain and my worries but kept their expertise always on the top of things finding elements for me to win my case. I am thankful to have had Zinda Law Group to support me during those two years as it finalized and I can keep on living.

vero dupont

My experience with Zinda law group has been wonderful from start to finish. Natasha and Emily explained everything very well and answered any questions I had, communicated well throughout the whole process , and handled the case very professionally, they worked very hard on my case I would definitely highly recommend to friends and family.

Shanece Mandonado

I found myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. After looking over reviews in the area, I decided to contact Natasha at Zinda law group in the hopes that she could represent me . Natasha put me at ease with her responsiveness and her ability to accommodate my last minute needs. I had no idea what to expect. It felt like a wave of relief knowing that you're working with a professional that knows what she's doing, and knows how to get things done quickly and efficiently. I appreciate the time and attention that Natasha put into my case. I hope I won't be needing their services again in the future, but I would absolutely contact them again if I do. Thanks again

Kyle Miller

I am very satisfied with the service and the outcome of my case.Since the first phone call, and every step of the way until the end, Zinda Law was on top of every detail pertaining to my auto accident case.The case is now closed, and looking back, they made every step of the process easy and manageable. They were very thorough in explaining the different scenarios, and extremely transparent with all the possible outcomes.Thank you to every person who aided in the success of my case, all of whom were exceptional in their tasks and working as a team.

Jorge Estevez

The Zinda Law Group was outstanding in helping me with my aunts case. My two Attorneys Neil and Shivangi were very compassionate, kind, eager to help, and really listen carefully and attentively to my case about my aunt. My aunt got hit by a driver while crossing the street and killed. I went after the guys insurance; although, this doesn't bring back my aunt, but allows for this not to happen to other people like this in her case. These attorneys worked very hard and efficiently to bring the justice that they saw fit. When I had a question they explained in terms I understood and not above and beyond me. I appreciate it when people can come down to my level and not intimidate and use trepidation on someone in feeling like they are the fly while they're the spider waiting for the right moment for the fly to walk into its web.Neil and Shivangi always whenever they called asked me how I was at the beginning of our conversations and is there anything I needed at the end of each call. Each call they made to me, was made very professional, personable and felt heart felt as if you were part of the family. At the end of each subject matter they always asked, "Do you have any questions for me before we go to the next thing we need to talk about?" They always wanted to make sure I understood everything before the next item we needed to talk about. These guys really are good and want to please the client anyway they can I thought; when I first started talking to them. I give them above and beyond a 5-Star rating if there was such a thing. I Highly Recommend The Zinda Law Group to Anyone who needs them. This is what I give them if I could!!💯💯💯💯💯 and👍👍👍👍👍 and⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❗❗❗THANK YOU TO NEIL, SHIVANGI, MARA AND TO EVERYONE AT THE ZINDA LAW GROUP WHO WORKED ON MY CASE!! I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

Tom M.

I would like to recognize a fantastic attorney named Joe Caputo from Zinda Law Group. I was involved in an auto accident that had many complicated moving parts that were hard to navigate and understand as a victim. Joe was so gracious and spent quality time explaining what courses of action I needed to take as a victim to protect myself. Joe was also diligent in following up with me regarding my case and provided guides and checklists that were extremely helpful to keep things organized and moving. Joe was always readily available for my questions and responded promptly. Joe Caputo's excellent counsel ensured I protected myself when dealing with the opposing insurance company and ensured the best possible outcome for my case. Joe's expertise in personal injury lawsuits helped alleviate the stress and anxiety that follows the aftermath of an auto accident. Thanks again Joe! You are truly an amazing, kind person and attorney!

Katherina Walker

Zinda Law was incredibly amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Michael and his incredibly hard working team after my wreck in November. They went above and beyond keeping up with my health, bills, insurance companies, all that fun stuff I had no time for. After what felt like such a short amount of time, they were able to win every last penny from the "bad guys" insurance (loved that term). I couldn't happier, and even though I went through something traumatic, it was still the best experience I could have ever asked for. Thank you Michael and everyone that helped with my case, yall are the best!!

Allie Scott

My attorney was Christina , she and her team gave me the best outcome for my case .I am giving an honesty review at first I was very upset because I kept getting moved around and I never knew who I was talking to because they switch attorneys and kept changing my paralegals.. I was going to go with another law firm but Christina helped me with my case from then on out and she worked around my schedule to talk to me which I appreciate. Also my last law firm took 30 percent, and this one took 33 percent which I wasn’t to happy so just a heads up. Overall I rate this 4 stars cause I’m just happy the case is over with and I get to go back to my life.Update: I just received another call from my attorney and they have worked to negotiate my case with the billing and have put more money in my pocket. All the money that I had spent while working on the case has came back to me. I can fully move on and say that I have gain every penny that was lose during those hard times. I’m so happy and thankful to Zinda law group!!!!!!

Julie Nguyen

Zinda Law Group did an excellent job with my case. The staff was super friendly and super effective as far as communicating with me throughout the entire case. I highly recommend Zinda Law Group for your next case and for any of your future cases. 5 Stars across the board thank you so much for everything!

Joe Jones

Joh Harper, Priyonka Bhikha, and the rest of the team gave my case a quick and satisfactory conclusion. The attorney, Mr. Harper did an absolutely amazing job keeping me on the same page as far as the case goes. Honestly, if anybody is hurt in a car wreck or another personal injury case, I WILL STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SPEAK TO THEM.

Jake The fox

I was in a motor vehicle collision about two years ago. From the minute I picked up the phone to speak with a representative to the case finally settling, it was a great experience. I worked with Burgess Williams and his team (Kathy, Ryan, and Linda) throughout the process. They were all very professional and helpful when I needed them the most.

Paul Tharp

Great Firm. I was in motorcycle accident- T-boned at a full stop with my daughter riding on back. Zinda's team was instantly responsive. Christina was very compassionate, organized and scheduled time before every legal event to discuss goals and overview. The process was 2 years but during that time the lawyers and staff (John and Shane were also great) were always available and understanding. The team is focused on doing what is right and by the book. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who is suffering from a motorcycle accident.

Private Site

Jason Aldridge and his paralegal Mara did an absolutely amazing job on my case. They were very responsive to all emails, calls and even texts. They treated me with dignity and respect from start to finish. I never once felt like my case was at the back of the list or anything. Not only did they explain and walked me through everything, they got me the help I needed and a final outcome over what I had expected. I would highly recommend this law firm, Jason and Mara to anyone seeking legal assistance.

Estopot

Highly Recommended-100% Satisfied!.From the initial phone call I felt confident I chose the right firm. They explained the process and I was always in the loop, even when we were at a stand still. Very grateful I was quickly referred to them by a friend who had a similar case. Both of us are happy with the end result. Thank you!

Philip de Leon

My team of lawyer were very professional and communicated extremely clearly. They kept me updated on their status and did not make me worry at all about my situation. They explained everything to me very well and put things into simple terms for my understanding. I am very satisfied with their performance.

JESSIE- PICHIN HUANG

I would recommend them to anyone that's been involved in an accident and feels skeptical in engaging an attorney.When one gets into an accident, you're traumatized, confused, angry and helpless.That was me last year, getting all kinds of advice becomes your next norm, to use or not to use an attorney.I was in so much pain from my injuries but at the same time knew I had to act fast.I called Zinda Law Group for consultation, they took my case seriously and treated me with respect, they were very professional and understanding.Elizabeth, kudos to you, you're true to your word, Integrity should be your last name.Jason Aldridge my attorney went to work immediately, he assured me that all be well and I should concentrate on my healing and he will do the rest. Thank your Sir, You did just that.His team, Mara, Zuleyma and Andrew, they all become my support system, so professional and lots of respect in each and everyphone call or email. Thank you guys.I would recommend anyone to use Zinda Law Group.

Jane Githure

I honestly loved not dealing with the hospital bills while I was recuperating. It gave me peace of mind going through this process and Zinda took care of everything. They found awesome health providers for me and haven't had to worry about anything while they've been taking my case. I've been well informed, communicated with, responded to and understood by Zinda. They have been efficient and effective while working on my case and I'm so glad I choose to go with this law firm.

Christian

When I was injured in a car accident in March of 2020 the insurance companies were not concerned with my well being. I called Zinda Law group & spoke with Reagan, who went over my concerns & later had Jono contact me. After reviewing my information with Jono my case was immediately put in motion. I worked mainly with Sam Thomas who truly was a blessing to me, he was very supportive & genuinely concerned with my well being, everything wasn't simply about the case it was about me being healed & getting the proper treatment that I needed. Sam was also emotionally supportive when I went through several losses in my family & is a great friend. In all everyone was extremely supportive & all worked for me which was quite a different legal experience for me from Law groups in my past. I was well supported, always informed, treated with respect & made the priority in all decisions. Zinda Law Group made sure I was compensated completely & that I didn't have financial stresses over hospital bills after all was said & done. Sam, Katrina, Mary Catherine, Reagan & Jono I just want to thank you & all of Zinda for the incredible experience & the wonderful caring people that you all are, you are truly Golden in your field.

Kathryn Shelton

They helped me after I got into car accident, they are such a great professional business. I would honestly recommend them to anyone that would need help after a car accident for sure, they kept me up to date with everything that was happening on with my case. I had multiple people working on my said case and they were very professional and nice whenever they had called me and kept it very simple for me to understand what was actually going on. I'm extremely happy that I had found them and went with them to help me and I'm so thankful for them. 10/10 would recommend!

Silver Hunter

I am so glad I got in touch with Zinda! My car accident occurred just 4 days prior to moving, during the busiest week of the year at my job, and just a week before the quarantine was declared a new reality for all of us. Everyone at Zinda remained persistent, supportive, and most of all advocated for me throughout such a chaotic time. I’ll always be grateful for the care they took to make sure my health and well-being were taken care of. So super grateful to know that a split second mistake someone else made doesn’t have to dictate my life. Thanks!

Emily Miller

My experience with Zinda Law Group was better than expected. After an accident that totalled my car, I reached out and was paired with a wonderful attorney.

I was kept in the loop during every step of the process. I would call Zinda Law if I ever need this type of support again.

Morgan Makomaski

Zinda Law Group helped me with my personal injury case after an auto accident. I was hurt pretty badly and I wasn't sure which attorney to call, I looked at reviews for Zinda Law and called right away.Kaitlin Nares and her team were so responsive and helpful. Kaitlin called me right away and helped me navigate through a very difficult process and time in my life. Being hurt in a car accident changes you!!! My case settled for more than I thought it would, and a lot quicker. I know sometimes things are more complicated, but my case was settled in only 3 months after my accident. Mary-Catherine was also so helpful in making sure everything was finalized! I have referred two people who have recently been in auto accident because it's not IF, its WHEN these days... I usually don't write reviews unless I feel strongly about sharing my experience to help others! Thank you!!!

Who is at Fault?

In car accident claims, a large part of the argument will surround who exactly is at fault. An important point to remember here is that determining fault is not black and white—multiple parties can each bear a portion of the total fault. The parties that most commonly bear at least some of the fault include:

The Drivers

For the vast majority of accidents, the fault will be pinned on the drivers. This can be as a result of their intoxication, distractedness, or simply making a mistake or not being careful enough.

The City or Township

Though rarer, there are cases in which the township responsible for the roads can be held liable. For example, if a broken traffic light causes two cars to collide, the city in charge of that traffic light will likely need to pay out to cover damages.

The Manufacturer

If a defect in a car causes an accident, the manufacturer may be liable. This is rare but does occur. For example, if the brakes in a car fail and it is determined that this was due to a design defect, the car manufacturer may be on the hook for money damages.

Colorado Car Accident Laws

It is important for drivers to know and understand the laws relating to car accidents that are in place in their specific jurisdiction. A few of the Colorado rules of the road include:

Mandatory Reporting

In Colorado, any driver who is involved in an accident that resulted in an injury or property damage must report it to the police.

Insurance Requirements

Like most states, Colorado requires its drivers to carry a minimum amount of liability coverage before being able to drive. This is important in any car accident case.

Comparative Fault

In Colorado, you may seek compensation from any party who is more at-fault in the accident than you. This means, to use the legal term, that Colorado is a “modified comparative negligence” state. However, you will not be able to seek recovery if your share of the fault meets or exceeds 50%.

Car Accident Compensation

No matter the size of your case, our experienced car accident attorneys in Boulder, CO will determine if someone is liable for your injuries. Your claim will benefit from the experience and training of our injury attorneys and we will work hard to provide you with a recovery that you deserve. Damages you are likely entitled to recover are:

• Lost wages
• Medical expenses
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Loss of earning capacity

At Zinda Law Group, our Boulder car accident lawyers and Boulder injury lawyers have successfully resolved hundreds of car and motor vehicle accident cases. We strive to obtain the best possible outcome of a case and to help victims recover the compensation they deserve. If you or a loved one would like to speak with one of our auto accident attorneys, call Zinda Law Group’s Boulder injury attorneys today at (720) 545-2689 for a free consultation.

Legal Time Limits

Every lawsuit in the personal injury family must be brought within a certain timeframe. This timeframe is known as the “statute of limitations.” In Colorado, the statute of limitations for a car accident is three years. This means that once an accident happens, you have three years to bring a claim, or else risk that claim being dismissed for being late.

However, children add a wrinkle to the usual rule. If one of the parties is a child, then the statute will be “tolled,” or essentially put on pause, until the child reaches majority. This means that a child who is injured in a car accident at the age of 12 would have until her 18th birthday to bring a claim.

FAQs

How much does a lawyer charge after a car accident?

At the Zinda Law Group, if we don’t reach a favorable settlement, then you don’t owe us anything. Depending on the case, the injury lawyers in Boulder will take a certain percentage of the compensation you receive.

How much do you get for pain and suffering in a car accident?

This depends on the specifics of your situation. The more severe your pain and suffering, the more you may receive in damages. However, in Colorado, pain and suffering damages are capped at anywhere from $250,000 to $468,010 depending on when the accident occurred.

What is the average settlement for a car accident?

Your settlement will be based on the specific facts of your case, but the average settlement ranges from $10,000 to $20,000. However, it may be much more than that if the injuries are severe.
