The police report we were given has his name, phone number, address, and the information for the owner of the car (his mom.) It seems like the only way to ask him for his insurance is to call, send a letter, or go to his house. I wasn't sure if any of those options are ok to do.

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry you were injured. It sounds like you may have been injured in the course of your employment. If that's the case, you could reach out to a workers' comp attorney. You could search for one on... View More

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. As a general matter nationwide, the issue is generally whether the policy was in effect at the time of the accident, barring any special conditions stipulated by the carrier. Carriers can extend grace periods to... View More

Only had a ct scan on my head and neck at the time of accident. After my neck and shoulder were rehabilitated then the back pain pain kicked in out of no where.

Police were called, but did not show up to the scene due to the fact that the other car had no damage. Police called me back and informed me just to exchange information with other party and file a claim.

See if the intersection had a camera or if any businesses did and ask them to keep the video and if you can have a copy.
The person pulling the U is at failt.

In order to clear up the confusion, and best protect your rights as a victim, you (and your SO) should contact an accident or injury lawyer in your area to discuss the specifics of your case.
I wasnt tailgating Or even speeding when i ran into the back end of another vehical, and the video shows this .
answered on Apr 12, 2021
You might be able to do so, however, the fact of the collision does not help your defense. My recommendation is to contact a traffic ticket/criminal defense lawyer in your area, and when you meet with them, bring the video and discuss your options at that time.
I was confused but they cited me and now my public defender tells me if I tell the truth its going to make me look bad. Im stuck with these fines & repair to the house.

You need to talk to a competent attorney about asset protection and exemption rights in whatever State you are going to live in. The exact Deed Grantee will be critical, and you need that lawyer to tell you what to do. Sometimes trusts are useful, but probably not here. The lawyer's... View More
I tied to qualify for public defender however, my pay would not allow it. I had my first appearance on the 29th. All the judge did was ask if I had an attorney, and since I did not he rescheduled my date to March. Why did it get rescheduled? Is he implying that I should get a lawyer?
answered on Jan 4, 2021
You absolutely need a lawyer. DUIs, let alone those involving injury/accident, are very complicated. Call an attorney like myself for a free consultation at least.
As for your court dates, yes the Court is implying you need lawyer. Typically, if you don't have a lawyer when in Court... View More

I was reversing out of a parking stall and was almost entirely out of the stall when a car, perviously out of sight, and I collided. It was ruled I was at fault as he had right of way

A Colorado attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a GENERAL matter in virtually all jurisdictions nationwide, vehicles proceeding in the main roadway have right of way over vehicles attempting to enter the normal flow of traffic. Good luck

I was rear ended as a passenger at a traffic light. I now have major back problems. There were 3 others in the vehicle but it appears I was injured the worse.

My car was hit in Brighton CO by a truck from a trucking company in Milfor NE. Their Insurance will not pay for damages even though the driver was found guilty in a Brighton court. So do I file in Adams county or in Seward County?
answered on Apr 23, 2020
First, if you were hurt contact a member of the Colorado Assn for Justice for the county where it happened--they give free consults.
Technically, you can file either where it happened or where they do business. I'd go for the county where it happened.
