One of the most common questions we receive from potential personal injury clients is how much our fees will cost. At Fang Accident Lawyers, we believe in making legal representation affordable for everyone. We understand the many costs that come with the typical personal injury accident, from expensive medical bills to property damage repairs. We aim to make the costs of our services reasonable for injured victims by operating on a contingency fee basis.Â
A contingency fee basis means you will never pay out of pocket for your lawyer, win or lose. If your Colorado Springs personal injury attorney wins your case, he or she will deduct legal fees directly from the settlement award or verdict won on your behalf. You will not have to pay for our legal services from your wallet. If your lawyer does not obtain financial compensation on your behalf, you will not have to pay a dime in legal fees. This is our no-win, no-fee guarantee.Â
We charge for our services by keeping a percentage of the settlement or verdict we achieve for your claim. We will determine an appropriate percentage based on the unique facts of your case. We will let you know our exact fee before you sign a contract with us. Our personal injury lawyers in Colorado Springs are always honest, transparent and up-front about how much they charge.

The value of your Colorado Springs personal injury case will depend on the circumstances specific to the accident and your injury. No average settlement amount will accurately represent the value of your claim. Each case and client are unique. The best way to understand the potential value of your case is by consulting with a personal injury attorney in Colorado Springs. The value of your case will depend on the damages suffered in the accident. In general, more serious accidents and catastrophic injuries receive greater compensation than minor injuries.Â
Our personal injury lawyers have obtained many different settlement and jury verdict awards for past clients, including results in the hundreds of thousands. To determine the value of your personal injury claim, our lawyers will analyze the total amount of your economic damages. Then, we will estimate your noneconomic damages based on factors such as your age at the time of the accident, the extent of your injury, whether you have a disability, your lost quality of life, and personal pain and emotional suffering.
The courts in Colorado will typically calculate pain and suffering damages using one of two equations. The first is the Multiplier Method. With this equation, the courts will multiply the total amount of your total economic damages by a number from one to five that best represents the seriousness of your injury. The other equation is the Per Diem Method. In this calculation, the courts will multiply the number of days you will foreseeably have your injury by an appropriate daily amount, usually equivalent to your daily working wage. Our Colorado Springs injury attorneys can help you accurately calculate the full value of your personal injury claim during a free consultation.Â
As your legal advocates during an injury claim, our lawyers will negotiate with the defendant’s insurance company for a fair settlement value on your behalf. We will use aggressive legal strategies to argue for maximum compensation. We can successfully settle the majority of the personal injury cases we accept. If the insurance company refuses to offer an appropriate amount for your injuries and losses, however, our litigators can take your case to trial in Colorado Springs. We will not accept less than we believe your serious injuries deserve.Â
You or your Colorado Springs personal injury lawyer will need to navigate many state laws during your claim. One of the most important to know is the statute of limitations. Each state has unique statutes of limitations for different types of claims. If you wish to file a personal injury claim in Colorado, you have no more than two years from the date of your injury to do so. If you do not discover your injury until a date after your accident, you will have two years from the date of injury discovery to file instead. If your loved one died in a preventable accident in Colorado, you will have two years from the date of the death to file.
The two-year statute of limitations applies to slip and falls, dog bites, and most other types of injury accidents. If you have a motor vehicle accident claim, however, Colorado extends the time limit to three years from the date of the crash or injury discovery. Keep in mind that there are several exceptions to the rule. If you are bringing a claim against a government entity, for example, such as the State of Colorado or the city of Colorado Springs, you will only have 180 days to file a claim. This is the rule under Colorado’s tort claims act. Speak to an attorney at Fang Accident Lawyers as soon as possible after an accident to make sure you file by your deadline.Â
To succeed in a personal injury case, you must be able to prove that the defendant was responsible for your accident. Proving liability requires showing that the accident was caused by the defendant’s negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct. Your Colorado Springs injury attorney will go over your case and gather evidence that supports your claim.
Critical evidence often comes to light during the discovery phase of your personal injury case. This evidence often includes witness interviews and statements, police reports, medical records, expert testimony, surveillance video, and photographs.
To secure a financial recovery that fully and fairly compensates you for your injuries and damages, you need to accurately demonstrate the value of the losses you suffered as a result of the accident. Depending on your personal injury case facts, recoverable losses may include pain and suffering, medical bills, future medical expenses, lost wages, and loss of earning capacity.
If you lost a loved one in a personal injury accident, you might be entitled to compensation for your losses through a wrongful death lawsuit. Colorado law provides that close surviving family members may file a wrongful death claim against the party responsible for their loved one’s death. Damages suffered by family members often include loss of the deceased’s financial support, pain and suffering, loss of companionship, funeral and burial expenses, and medical bills.
When you have been injured by someone’s wrongful conduct, you do not have to handle your recovery alone. The Colorado Springs personal injury lawyers at Fang Accident Lawyers will discuss your case, answer all of your questions, and aggressively pursue your claim. We will fight for a fair settlement or go to trial if necessary.
