Frequently Asked Questions: Personal Injury in Old Colorado City, CO

Dealing with a personal injury in Old Colorado City, CO can raise numerous questions and uncertainties. At The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., we understand the importance of providing clear and concise information to help you navigate this challenging time. Here are some frequently asked questions with insightful answers to guide you through the complexities of a personal injury case.

What should I do immediately after a personal injury in Old Colorado City, CO?

Seek medical attention promptly. Your health is the top priority. Additionally, document the scene, gather contact information from witnesses, and take pictures if possible. Contact our attorneys at The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., for guidance on the next steps.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Old Colorado City, CO?

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Colorado is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, it’s advisable to consult with our legal team at The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., as specific circumstances may impact the filing timeline.

Can I still pursue a claim if the accident was partially my fault?

Colorado follows a comparative negligence system, meaning you can still pursue a claim even if you share some responsibility for the accident. However, your compensation may be reduced based on the degree of your fault. Discuss your situation with our attorneys to assess the viability of your claim.

How much compensation am I entitled to for my personal injury?

The amount of compensation varies based on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Our legal team at The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., will thoroughly evaluate your case to determine a fair and comprehensive compensation amount.

Should I talk to the insurance company without an attorney?

It’s advisable to avoid communicating with the insurance company without legal representation. Insurance adjusters may use your statements against you. Consult with our attorneys at The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., before engaging with insurers to protect your rights.

What if the person responsible for my injury is uninsured or underinsured?

If the at-fault party is uninsured or underinsured, you may still have options for compensation. Our experienced attorneys can explore avenues such as your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage to help secure the compensation you deserve.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Old Colorado City, CO?

At The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., we understand the financial strain that can accompany a personal injury. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay legal fees if we successfully secure compensation for your case.

Where is an Old Colorado City injury claim filed?

In the El Paso County Combined Courts at 270 S Tejon St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 — the district court serving El Paso County, in the 4th Judicial District. Old Colorado City has no court of its own, so that is where the claim is heard however local the crash was.

How much is an Old Colorado City injury claim worth?

Nobody can price it from a web page, and the figure does not depend on where in El Paso County it happened. What sets it: your medical cost and future care and lost earnings, which are economic and uncapped; your pain and loss of enjoyment, which Colorado caps at $1,500,000 for claims accruing on or after 1 January 2025 (C.R.S. 13-21-102.5(3)(a)(II)), a cap that does not limit damages for physical impairment or disfigurement (C.R.S. 13-21-102.5(5)); your share of fault; and how much insurance actually exists to pay it.

How long do I have to file an Old Colorado City injury claim?

3 years if a motor vehicle was involved (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)), and 2 years for most other injuries (C.R.S. 13-80-102). Which applies turns on how the injury happened, not on what it is called.

How long does an Old Colorado City injury claim take to settle?

Longer than you want, and for a reason worth understanding: a claim should not settle before your doctors know what you are left with, because the release you sign is final. Filing suit inside the deadline puts the case on the El Paso County Combined Courts docket and replaces the adjuster's pace with a court's.

Do I need a lawyer for an injury in Old Colorado City?

Not for every claim — if nobody was hurt and fault is admitted, you can handle it yourself. Get advice when you needed more than one visit to a doctor, when fault is disputed, when the insurer wants a recorded statement, or when an offer arrives before you have finished treating. Old Colorado City is a historic district inside the Colorado Springs city limits, so the Colorado Springs Police Department responds — its Wikidata record classifies it as a historic district, not a separate municipality. That status decides which agency holds the report and whether a municipal layer sits above Colorado law, and both change how the claim is built.

Do I have to travel to Colorado Springs to bring an Old Colorado City claim?

Almost never. Most injury matters resolve without a court appearance, and the firm handles Old Colorado City claims from its Colorado Springs office at 12 E. Boulder Street. Consultations can be held by phone.

What does an Old Colorado City injury lawyer cost?

Nothing up front, and nothing at all unless there is a recovery. Consultations are free and injury cases are handled on a contingency fee, so the firm is paid a percentage of what it recovers rather than by the hour. Call (719) 475-2555.

What if I was partly at fault in Old Colorado City?

Modified comparative fault, barred at 50% (C.R.S. 13-21-111). Your damages are reduced by your share and barred entirely at 50%, and insurers argue this hardest where there are no signals or lane markings to point to.
