An auto accident is one of the most frightening experiences you could ever face. Then come the unforeseen medical expenses and physical and emotional trauma. A personal injury attorney, such as Mike Hulen and Ben Leutwyler, will assist you through this difficult legal process so that you are able to focus on the process of recovery.

When you are involved in a car accident you should call 911, get prompt medical attention for yourself and the others involved, and when you are able, collect as much information as possible (such as the name, address, driver's license number and insurance information of the other driver). If possible, take pictures of the damaged cars and the accident scene. It is a good idea to contact a personal injury attorney while the accident is still fresh in your mind, even if you are unsure as to whether or not you need legal representation. Hulen & Leutwyler, LLC offers a free consultation.

When making a personal injury claim, insurance companies may try to pay you less than your claim is worth. The best way to avoid receiving inadequate compensation is to contact a qualified personal injury attorney. Mike Hulen and Ben Leutwyler will insure that all aspects of your case are handled professionally and in a timely manner. Remember, the insurance companies have experienced adjusters and lawyers who immediately go to work against your interest. Don't give them a statement or sign any documents until you've talked with one of our experienced personal injury lawyers.

It doesn't cost you anything to get a lawyer early on. Our attorneys work on a percentage fee and don't get paid until you get a settlement (or a judgment at trial). So, you might as well have an experienced personal injury attorney working for you and protecting your legal rights as soon as possible after the accident. In Colorado, you may be entitled to recover:

• Economic damages: Past and future medical expenses related to the accident, loss of current and future income, and any other expenses incurred resulting directly from the car accident;
• Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, harm to relationships,  and loss of quality of life;
• Physical Impairment/Disfigurement: Severe injuries such as permanent physical limitations, brain injury, amputation, burns, scars, or other serious impairment.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM/UIM): Approximately 30% of motorists do not have any auto liability insurance. Your auto insurance policy should include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage; we want to insure that you receive the full benefits you are entitled to under this coverage.

Bad Faith Insurance Claims: When an insurance company refuses to honor its policies, denies your claim or delays your claim without good cause - you need an experienced personal injury attorney who will protect your interests for such bad faith insurance practices.

Medical Costs: Your automobile insurance policy should provide Med-Pay coverage, but the amount of coverage may not be sufficient in cases of serious injury. Your health insurance policy should also provide coverage. The other driver’s insurance company will not immediately pay for your medical costs. Our office is equipped to assist you through this "nightmare" of paperwork when dealing with insurance companies, hospital bills, health insurance and Medicare subrogation, liens, repair expenses and lost income.

Premises Liability/Slip & Fall/Domestic Animal Attacks: Property owners are required to maintain and secure their property and pets to reasonably insure your safety when you are on their premises. Our office will represent your interests if you are injured on personal or commercial property due to the owner's negligence. We have successfully obtained very good settlements for many of our clients.

Wrongful Death: If you experience the loss of life of a loved one due to an auto or other accident, it is a traumatic experience. You will need time to care for yourself and your family, rather than try to understand and negotiate the complex legal process which follows such an unexpected tragedy. You are not only experiencing the emotional loss of a loved one, but the economic loss, too. We will be there for you and will help you get the compensation you deserve. We have the knowledge, experience, and resources to promptly investigate, prepare and resolve your wrongful death claim. We will professionally represent you in all phases of your claim.

Settlement vs. Trial: We are able to obtain a reasonable settlement in the vast majority of personal injury and wrongful death claims. However, as experienced trial attorneys, we are prepared to take your claim to trial if appropriate.
