There are methods to determine fault in car crash including the retention of an expert accident reconstructionist.
An experienced personal injury attorney can evaluate the information you do have to determine potential next steps.
I last heard from the approving adjuster. I need to leave the state with my car and I have let them know this a few times. Should I pay out of pocket and get reimbursed, or should I keep calling asking when it will be approved?

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I hope the volunteer and the horses are okay. It could depend on the policies, in terms of what they cover and what they exclude. Good luck
The driver is an unlicensed teen. I did not press charges which means I cannot really go through insurance without affecting my rates. I am allowing the driver to pay the repair out of pocket so as not to create a criminal record. They are agreeing to pay the repairs but refusing to pay for loss of... View More

Yes. Loss of use is a valid damage recoverable from an at-fault driver.

The offending vehicle's insurance will probably cover your property damage but there may not be enough insurance for all injuries. They should pay your deductible. If injured, get a personal injury attorney to deal with both insurance companies.

In Colorado, it's typically not the police's responsibility to notify insurance companies immediately after a motorcycle accident. Instead, it's up to the involved parties, particularly the motorcycle rider, to report the accident to their respective insurance providers. After... View More

You cannot tell who caused the crash by the extent of the property damage. And you cannot tell fault by what you describe. The question is who should have seen the other. It may have been your fault. Your insurance company will sort it out.

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. Rental allowances generally run for very short periods of time.

Delivered a rolloff and backed into a commercial fence. My insurance won't pay for it. The quote they gave is outrageous. The quotes we received are responsible. We feel like they are taking advantage of the situation. What would be the best route to go, knowing our insurance will not cover this.

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If your insurance won't pay for the damage because of a difference in opinion as to the cost of repairs, ask them to consider the lower quotes you obtained (you may have already done that at this point). If... View More
I was at a stop sign, there was snow so I was leaning forward to see any cars. As I went to go, I saw a pedestrian crossing. I immediately hit the brakes and she put her hands forward on the truck to stop herself. She walked off and I drove back around to see if she was ok but she was gone.

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It sounds like the truck was the vehicle you were driving. It does not seem like there were any injuries, only sticking hands out to brace oneself. It would have been better to ask the person if they were okay, but... View More

Your first court date is typically just an arraignment date in which you enter a plea of not guilty, no contest or guilty. They will then give you a court date for your trial. If you would like to go forward with your trial, I would suggest you request that the court issue a subpoena for the... View More
I was in a car accident just before I was scheduled to start a new job. The insurance adjuster for the at-fault party is saying they do not owe lost wages due to it not resulting in job loss. Is this accurate?
answered on Apr 3, 2023
It depends. Yes, those are often recoverable damages. The goal of personal injury law is to make the injured party "whole." In many if not most situations, that includes lost wages. But the particular facts of each case or claim require attention. You may want to call an attorney to... View More
the insurance company has offered and said the only amount they can agree to is the policy limit. my pain and suffering, income loss, and medical bills exceed this amount.

answered on Apr 3, 2023
The answer is probably no. But you should consult with a lawyer about this. Lawyers who represent people who are hurt in car crashes should try to locate all available insurance. And, depending on the unique facts of your case, there's a possibility that you have a chance to recover from a... View More
