Fort Collins Car Accident FAQs
Answers to the questions our Fort Collins clients ask most
How much does it cost to hire a Fort Collins car accident lawyer?▾
Nothing upfront. Brad Freedberg Law represents Fort Collins car accident victims on a contingency fee basis — you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Initial consultations are always free and confidential.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Fort Collins, Colorado?▾
Under Colorado law, you generally have three years from the date of a motor vehicle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, and two years for most other personal injury claims. Claims against Larimer County or other government entities can have notice deadlines as short as 182 days, so contact an attorney immediately.
What should I do after a car accident in Fort Collins?▾
Call 911 if anyone is injured, move to safety, document the scene with photos, exchange insurance information, get witness contact details, and seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Then contact a Fort Collins personal injury attorney before giving any recorded statement to the at-fault driver's insurance company.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the Fort Collins accident?▾
Yes. Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages — your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?▾
Fort Collins drivers injured by uninsured or underinsured motorists may be able to recover through their own UM/UIM coverage. We review your policy at no charge and pursue every available source of compensation.
