Common Pueblo Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor bruises to life-altering conditions. We’ve helped clients dealing with various types of injuries following car accidents in Pueblo, including:

  • Whiplash
  • Broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Internal injuries and organ damage
  • Emotional injuries and psychological trauma

Every injury, no matter how seemingly minor, deserves attention. Some injuries may not manifest symptoms immediately. What seems like a small issue could develop into a more serious condition over time. Plus, you’ll need documentation that you received treatment for an injury to pursue compensation. That’s why we always recommend seeking medical attention after an accident, even if you don’t think you’re seriously hurt.

What Types of Compensation Can You Receive?

After suffering injuries in a Pueblo car wreck, you can turn to our attorneys to help you recover a wide range of damages, including:

  • Medical costs: This includes not just your current medical expenses, but also anticipated future medical costs related to your injuries. This can cover hospital bills, doctor visits, medications, physical therapy, and any necessary medical equipment or home modifications.
  • Lost income: You could recover compensation for lost wages if your injuries kept you out of work. This also includes potential future lost earnings if your injuries impact your ability to work long-term or force you to take a lower-paying job.
  • Pain and suffering: This form of non-economic damage compensates you for the physical pain and emotional distress you’ve experienced due to the accident and your injuries. While it’s harder to quantify than medical bills or lost wages, it’s an important part of many car accident claims.
  • Property damage: You may receive compensation for damage to your vehicle and any personal property the accident damaged or destroyed.
  • Wrongful death damages: If a car accident killed a close family member, we can help you obtain compensation through a wrongful death claim or lawsuit. These damages can help with things like funeral and burial costs as well as loss of income and support.

In rare cases, we can also pursue punitive damages if the at-fault party acted with extreme negligence or intentional wrongdoing. 

The specific types and amounts of compensation you could get depend on the circumstances of your case. Factors such as the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life and future prospects, and the degree of the other party’s negligence all play a role in determining compensation.

At Franklin D. Azar Car & Truck Accident Lawyers, we know that fair compensation can provide you with the financial resources you need to recover and move forward with your life. We’ll work diligently to assess all your damages – both economic and non-economic – and fight for the compensation you need to cover all your injuries and losses.

Pueblo Car Accident FAQs

We understand that you likely have many questions about your car accident claim. Here are answers to some common questions we receive:

Q: How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Colorado?

In Colorado, the statute of limitations for most car accident lawsuits is three years from the date of the accident. However, it’s best to start the process as soon as possible while evidence is fresh and witnesses’ memories are clear.

What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?

If you have uninsured motorist coverage, you can file a claim with your own insurance company. If not, we can explore other options, such as filing a lawsuit directly against the at-fault driver.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Yes, Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages as long as you’re less than 50% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

How much is my car accident case worth?

The value of your case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, and the impact on your quality of life. We can estimate the potential compensation you could receive after thoroughly reviewing your case.

Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company has offered me a settlement?

 You need to speak with a lawyer before accepting any settlement offer and signing anything the insurance company gives you. Insurance companies often offer low initial settlements with the hope you’ll just accept it and move on. An experienced attorney can help ensure you receive fair compensation.
