Do I need a lawyer?

People often wonder if they need a lawyer to help them deal with the repercussions of an accident. No one should be forced to deal with insurance claims at a time when all focus should be on recovering from trauma and restoring health. But you need to know your rights as the victim in a crash… It is at that point that you may want to work with a Boulder County car accident lawyer who has specialized in this field for more than 20 years.

But… let’s start by saying that the Law Offices of Peter M. Anderson is not the right choice for 80% of people in Colorado car accidents who are either not hurt, or suffered minor muscle sprain/strain that resolves within months. Many larger volume law firms might better serve your needs in such situations. If you are seeking to just resolve your property damage, then seek out a larger volume law firm. If you are getting the runaround from the insurance company over a couple of thousand dollars, then seek out a larger volume law firm.

The Law Offices Of Peter M. Anderson is the right firm if:

  • you suffered severe physical impairment injuries
    (traumatic brain injury, migraines, psychological disturbances, PTSD)
    (broken bones, torn ligaments, torn spinal discs, sheared facet joints)
  • you have lingering symptoms that have not resolved after months of medical, physical therapy and chiropractic treatment
  • you suffered physical impairments limiting your work and lifestyle
  • you have on-going treatment recommendations from your local doctors that exceed tens of thousands of dollars
  • you have had no resolve with the defendant’s insurance company, even after proof of the physical impairments
  • you have had no response from your own insurer (UM/UIM) after making a claim for injuries to the defendant’s insurer

Injury scenarios where we may be able to help

We hope that no individual ever has to endure the losses/injuries referenced below, but these scenarios have become all too present in the current day. We have had clients in each of these situations, and have helped resolve their cases to ensure these worries are addressed. We help clients restore physical and financial health, which they lost due to no fault of their own.

Serious car crash with wage loss:

“My wife was in a serious rear-end Colorado car accident. Her personality has changed, and now she’s scared to get into a car. She hasn’t been able to go back to work, and we’re having a hard time paying all the bills. We’re getting bills from the hospital and ambulance, and have a very high deductible. We’ve been sent to collections, so now our credit is being affected. She’s been out of work for weeks, and her employer is very concerned. Our whole family is very concerned, as we thought she was getting better, but she’s not. We need to speak with a Boulder car accident lawyer now.”

Commercial truck crash, surgery recommended:

“My husband was driving to get groceries when a semi ran a stop sign and crashed into him. Since the accident, everything’s changed. He took an ambulance to the hospital and was released 2 days later. We thought he’d get better in a few weeks’ time, but he’s been out of work for many weeks. Now we’re dealing with a situation we never dreamed would happen. They’ve recommended he have spine surgery, and we don’t even know what surgeon to speak with. We’ve got insurance companies calling us every day wanting recorded conversations and medical releases. We’re not sure what to say or do, and the medical bills and collection notices are piling up. We know our credit’s being affected, but we have no idea which way to turn, or how to make this situation better.”

Pedestrian/bicycle accident, head trauma:

“A car hit my son when he was riding to school on his bike. The driver found him unconscious, called 911 and he was rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, he was released that night, but he’s had to drop 3 classes and he’s having trouble with word retrieval and memory issues. We’re scared. We don’t know who to see, or what will make him better. We need help from a Boulder attorney to understand what can be done for our child now, and for the future if this Colorado car accident has long term effects. What if his injuries still affect him years from today?”

Motorcycle accident, extended hospital stay:

“My husband was driving to work on his motorcycle, and someone turned left in front of him. It was a horrible accident, and he’s still in the hospital. We thought he’d only be there for a couple of days and now it’s been a week. He works as an accountant and we’re not even sure if he’s going to return to work. Our health insurance company is calling, and our deductible is really high. I don’t know if we should use our own health insurance, or if there’s another option. I just don’t know where to turn for answers. We’re in a terrible situation, and I desperately need a Boulder car accident lawyer to tell me what to do to make sure when my husband gets out of the hospital, he’ll be taken care of.”
