From day one, we work to build the strongest possible case for you. At The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., we can:
- Launch a prompt and thorough investigation into the cause of your injury
- Gather key evidence, such as video footage, witness statements, and medical records
- Handle communication with insurers and opposing counsel
- Calculate the full value of your damages
- Connect you with medical providers and specialists
- Negotiate a fair settlement or prepare for trial if necessary
Do You Have a Legitimate Case?
You may have a valid personal injury claim if you were injured due to someone else’s careless behavior. Our firm offers a free consultation to evaluate your situation and determine whether you have a legitimate claim. We provide honest, straightforward guidance so you can make an informed decision.
What's the Legal Process for Filing a Personal Injury Claim?
Here’s a general overview of what to expect when pursuing a personal injury claim:
- Consultation: We discuss the facts of your case, explain your legal options, and answer any initial questions you may have.
- Investigation: We collect evidence, interview witnesses, and analyze medical documentation to establish liability and assess damages.
- Filing a Claim: We notify the at-fault party’s insurance company and initiate settlement discussions, submitting supporting documentation and demand letters.
- Negotiation: We push for a fair resolution that covers all your damages, often negotiating with experienced insurance adjusters.
- Litigation (if necessary): If a fair settlement isn’t reached, we file a lawsuit, conduct discovery, take depositions, and prepare for trial.
- Resolution: Through a verdict or negotiated agreement, we seek full compensation for your losses, including future costs.
Throughout the process, we handle the legal complexities so you can focus on your recovery and well-being, keeping you informed at every stage.
How Negligent Behavior Causes Personal Injury Accidents
Negligence occurs when someone fails to act with reasonable care, and that failure results in harm to another person. It is the foundation of most personal injury claims, and it applies across a wide range of situations where one party's careless behavior leads to another’s injury or loss.
Some common examples include:
- Distracted or impaired driving, such as texting while driving or operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Failing to clear snow or ice on walkways, which can lead to slip and fall accidents, particularly in commercial or residential settings with regular foot traffic
- Poor maintenance of property or equipment, including broken staircases, loose railings, or malfunctioning machinery
- Improper supervision or safety procedures on job sites, especially in construction zones where heavy equipment and elevated work areas pose serious risks
- Allowing a dangerous animal to roam freely, such as a dog with a known history of aggression
What Is the Statute of Limitations in Colorado?
In most personal injury cases in Colorado, you must file your claim within two years of the date of the injury. However, for motor vehicle accidents, the deadline is extended to three years.
Every case is different and there are exceptions. That’s why we strongly encourage you to speak with a qualified attorney about your claim as soon as possible.
What Types of Damages Are Available?
If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
- Loss of income and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage
- Wrongful death-related costs (if applicable)
Each case is unique, and we tailor our strategy to maximize the recovery available to you.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
At The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., we have extensive experience handling a wide range of personal injury cases in Teller County and throughout Colorado.
Dog Bites
Dog attacks can leave victims with scarring, nerve damage, and long-term trauma. Colorado law holds dog owners strictly liable for bites in many situations. We help you pursue the compensation you need to recover.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are often blamed for crashes they didn’t cause. We fight back against insurance companies and seek justice for riders injured by inattentive or reckless drivers.
Semi-Truck Accidents
Truck crashes often result in catastrophic injuries. We investigate commercial trucking companies for violations of federal safety regulations, driver fatigue, improper maintenance, and other factors that may have contributed to your accident.
Car Accidents
Whether it’s a rear-end collision or a head-on crash, car accidents can have devastating consequences. We help injured drivers and passengers recover full compensation for their losses.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are at high risk of serious injury when hit by a vehicle. We represent victims hit in crosswalks, parking lots, or roadside areas and pursue damages for their injuries.
Construction Injuries
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces. We represent workers and passersby injured by falling debris, faulty equipment, or lack of proper safety measures.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists face risks from distracted drivers, road hazards, and poorly marked lanes. We advocate for riders who suffer injuries in collisions and road-sharing incidents.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Falls caused by slick floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly lit areas can lead to serious injuries. We hold property owners accountable for unsafe premises.
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim arises when someone dies as a result of another person or entity’s negligence or wrongful conduct. Under Colorado law, eligible family members may seek compensation for:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills related to the final injury
- Loss of the deceased's income and benefits
- Loss of companionship, guidance, and emotional support
These claims can help ease the financial and emotional burdens left behind after a tragic loss. While no amount of money can replace a loved one, pursuing justice can provide a sense of accountability and closure.
