Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims
Do I really need to hire a personal injury attorney?
You are not required to hire an attorney after an accident, but it is often a mistake to deal with the insurance company alone. Insurance companies are focused on protecting their bottom line, not maximizing your recovery. An experienced personal injury attorney can investigate your case, preserve important evidence, negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, and help you understand whether a settlement offer is truly fair.
When should I hire a personal injury attorney?
The sooner, the better. Important evidence can disappear quickly after an accident, witnesses’ memories fade, and insurance companies often begin building their defense immediately. Speaking with an attorney early can help protect your rights and prevent costly mistakes that could affect your claim.

How much does it cost to hire VanMeveren Law Group?
It costs nothing to speak with us about your case, and we handle personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you.
We also stand behind our representation with our 30-Day No Fee Promise. If, within the first 30 days after signing your retainer agreement, you decide for any reason that we’re not the right fit, you are free to take your case elsewhere and owe us no attorney’s fees for the work we’ve performed during that period. We believe hiring an attorney should be a decision you feel confident about.
What compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?
Every case is different, but compensation may include payment for:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent impairment or disability
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Other accident-related losses
The value of your claim depends on the facts of your case, the severity of your injuries, and the available insurance coverage.
What should I do after being injured in an accident?
Your health should always come first. Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if your injuries do not seem serious. If you are able, document the accident scene with photographs, gather witness information, report the accident to the appropriate authorities, and keep copies of your medical records and other important documents.
Before giving a recorded statement or accepting a settlement offer from an insurance company, consider speaking with an experienced personal injury attorney.
What if the insurance company denies my claim?
A denied claim does not necessarily mean your case is over. Insurance companies sometimes deny claims because they dispute liability, question the severity of an injury, or believe additional information is needed. An attorney can review the denial, investigate the facts, and explain your legal options for pursuing compensation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Colorado?
Colorado law places deadlines on filing personal injury lawsuits, and those deadlines vary depending on the type of case. Waiting too long could prevent you from recovering compensation. Because every situation is different, it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
Will my case have to go to court?
Probably not. Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlement negotiations without ever going to trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to make a fair settlement offer, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and advocate for you before a judge or jury.
Why should I choose VanMeveren Law Group?
Choosing the right attorney matters. Bryan VanMeveren is a former insurance defense lawyer who understands how insurance companies evaluate and defend injury claims. Today, he uses that experience to fight for injured individuals and their families.
Our firm offers free consultations, handles cases on a contingency fee basis, and backs our representation with our 30-Day No Fee Promise. We are committed to keeping our clients informed, treating them with respect, and pursuing the best possible outcome in every case.
