Frequently Asked Questions

If you or someone you love has been hurt in an accident in Denver, CO, you may be wondering if you need to hire an accident lawyer to handle your case. While you are not required to have a lawyer, trying to navigate the legal system on your own can be grueling. An experienced accident and injury attorney can skillfully guide you through every step of the process to help ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve. At Levine Law, our accident attorneys are well-recognized as tough negotiators and trial lawyers who know how to get optimal results for accident victims.

For many people, choosing a lawyer to handle their injury case can be a very stressful and overwhelming process. At Levine Law, we try to make the process as easy as possible for you. Our Denver accident law firm offers free consultations where you can speak with a member of our legal team to determine if we are the right firm for you. We appreciate that you are dealing with a very difficult situation and we want you to be completely confident in your decision.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in an accident, you will have a limited period of time (known as the statute of limitations) to file a lawsuit to recover compensation for your injuries and damages. Once the statute of limitations has passed, you will lose your right bring your case.

In Colorado, the statute of limitations will depend upon the specific type of claim you are bringing forth. For instance, a person injured in a car accident will generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a legal action; whereas a victim of a slip and fall or other general personal injury action will only have two years to file a case. The deadlines can be confusing and there are certain exceptions to the rules, so it is always best to seek advice from a qualified Denver accident lawyer as soon as possible after an accident has taken place.

Your potential compensation is unique to your case. The extent of your injuries, what you do for work and whether you may have played a role in causing the accident are just a few examples. After you’ve met with us and explained your situation, then your Denver accident attorney will tell you exactly how much we believe we can recover on your behalf.

Most Colorado accident attorneys accept payment via contingency fees. This means that your lawsuit is free unless we win you case. You never pay anything out of pocket, and our attorneys only recover our fees and costs if we are successful in helping you recover compensation.
