As an at-fault state, Colorado requires the insurance company of the driver who was at fault to pay the medical bills, property damage, and other financial losses. Because auto insurance companies are in the business of protecting their policyholders and minimizing losses, you should not be surprised if an auto insurance company offers you a low settlement.
When you work with an experienced car injury attorney, you’ll have legal representation who can fight for your rights and justify higher settlement amounts. It’s common for both parties to negotiate to reach a settlement deal that satisfies both the victim and the auto insurance company. A lawyer with strong negotiating skills can help you recover more damages.
