Dealing with the insurance company after an accident isn’t easy. Make sure you don't make a mistake that could hurt your case. Order attorney Robert Anderson’s book, Top 10 Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Personal Injury Claim, today!

A serious injury from a vehicle accident in Colorado can turn your life upside down. Suddenly your life has changed and there are an entire host of new problems to deal with.

Some of those problems are immediate, such as:

Medical care, pain
Time dealing with these issues
Inconvenience
Vehicle repair
Lost wages

Some of those problems are long-term:

Chronic conditions and disabilities that make you uninsurable for future health insurance
Emotional trauma
Inability to continue your career or keep your job
Damaged credit and financial insecurity

Anyway you look at things, you will be dealing with an insurance company that has set up the playing field to be tilted against you. These claims are adversary proceedings. Every penny the insurance company does not pay on your claim is another penny of profit to the insurance company. You need help to level the playing field. You are going to have questions. You can get answers and help at the Law Offices of Robert J. Anderson, P.C.

These life-changing car, motorcycle and truck accidents happen in seconds:

An SUV on I-25 swerves into a van carrying your family.
A teen driving on Powers Boulevard is fumbling with the radio instead of paying attention to driving. The teen crosses the median, hitting your truck head-on.
A driver turns his car left at an Academy Boulevard intersection. He does not see you on your bicycle or motorcycle and a serious spinal injury results.
You are sitting in your vehicle properly stopped at a stop light on Fillmore Avenue when a drunk driver slams into the back of your vehicle.

You've Been Involved In A Serious Car, Truck or Motorcycle Accident - What Now?

What are my rights?

How can I get medical care?
How will I pay the medical bills?
What happens if I cannot work?
How do I get my vehicle repaired?
How do I get compensated for what has happened to me?
I hurt because of someone else's bad driving. My life is now taken up with pain and doctors appointments. How do I get my life back and compensated for what this person did to me?

When you've been injured in a vehicle wreck in Colorado, it's easy to feel as though everyone understands what's happening except for you. You feel wronged that the accident happened to you, and you feel wronged by the insurance company that is denying or delaying your claim. At the same time, you don't know who to ask questions of or how to proceed.

Chances are that you have never been involved in a serious accident before, and chances are that the insurance company knows that, and will be trying to take advantage of you. The first thing they are going to do to gain an advantage over you is take a statement from you. Do not give a statement until you have received legal advice! Every insurance company will try and get this statement, and it is the first step in the plan of the insurance company to take advantage of you. Whenever you give a statement, you are going to tell the truth. But, there are times when it is in your interest to give a statement, and times when it is in the interest of the insurance company for you to give a statement. Early on, the statement only benefits the insurance company.

At the Law Offices of Robert J. Anderson, we understand the pressure you are under and the frustration you are feeling. Over the last three decades, we have successfully handled thousands of vehicle accident cases and talked to thousands of car accident injury victims and their families. We have learned that most people who have been injured do not want revenge or to get rich, they simply want to have their normal lives back - and that's the service we provide.

We want to hear your car, truck, or motorcycle accident story, your insurance company issues, and your concerns.

We make ourselves available to answer your questions.

We are dedicated to hard work, openness, honesty, and outstanding client service.

According to the Colorado State Patrol, there are over 30,000 traffic accidents across the state each year. Insurance companies do not benefit from paying for all of the damage done in these accidents - they benefit from denying claims, delaying claims, or offering insubstantial amounts on claims. The confusing, long-winded process deters many injured people, as does the simple lack of information for injured drivers and accident victims.

If you are feeling wronged, even if you are not sure of the legal terms or legal process, talk to a lawyer about your car, truck, or motorcycle accident. At the very least, you will better understand the legal working of your case. At the most, we can help bring your case to justice, secure your rightful compensation, and right the wrong that has happened to you.

Don't settle for less. Work with the best.
