While personal injury cases involving cars are common throughout the country, there are some types of car accidents that are more prone to occur in the snowy and icy climate of the Denver region. Black ice and whiteout conditions are common throughout the Rockies. The prevalence of these conditions can lead to serious accidents. Drivers need to take care when driving in dangerous conditions. Failure to do so can be found to be negligence and victims have the right to sue for justice and fair compensation for their injuries caused by such negligence.

While these cases do not differ in the sense that the basis for them is negligence, an experienced Denver auto accident attorney is familiar with how to prove negligence based on the wintry conditions. Your lawyer will have a cadre of experts on hand to help prove what the conditions were at the time of the accident and why negligence was involved. And your attorney will also be familiar with the roads in the area.

Experienced Denver auto accident lawyers are ready to explain all your options if you suffer an injury during snowy or icy conditions. They can fight aggressively to recover compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost earnings, and other expenses you incur.

Under Colorado law, you only have a limited amount of time to bring a personal injury lawsuit. The general limitations period for personal injury in Colorado is 2 years. However, the statute of limitations for injury resulting from a motor vehicle accident is three years. It is in your best interest to speak to an auto accident lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. Your auto accident attorney can ensure that you do not run afoul of the statute of limitations and can advise you on how best to preserve any evidence that may be needed to prove your case.

Colorado has a complex system of damage caps limiting the amounts payable to victims. For example, damages for pain and suffering and other noneconomic damages can range up to almost a million dollars. There are no caps on economic damages such as lost wages or medical expenses. The skilled auto accident lawyers at Bell & Pollock, PC will be happy to explain how the damage caps apply to your particular set of facts.
