When Should I Hire a Lawyer?
If you've suffered an injury or lost a loved one due to negligence, you should contact a lawyer right away! A personal injury lawyer in Colorado Springs can assist you with the following:
- Filing your initial claim with the court
- Uncovering evidence to support your claim such as witness testimony and medical reports

At Gaddis, Herd, Craw & Adams, P.C., our legal team has over 150 years of combined experience and is prepared to fight for your maximum compensation.
Colorado Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases
The last thing you want to hear from your personal injury lawyer is that you missed the deadline for filing a claim. Not only will you have to live with your injuries, but you won't even be able to pursue compensation.
In Colorado, the deadline for filing a lawsuit for personal injury is two years from the date the accident took place. In the case of a motor vehicle accident, you have three years.
Understanding these time limits is critical, as failing to act within them can forfeit your right to pursue a claim. Additionally, certain exceptions and nuances exist, making it vital to consult promptly with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer who can guide you through these complexities and ensure your claims are timely and valid.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
No firm can promise you an exact amount of compensation once you decide to take legal action after your accident. However, at Gaddis, Herd, Craw & Adams, P.C., we can promise that we will seek maximum compensation for our clients.
This means we will work with loved ones and medical professionals as necessary to ensure that the victim's immediate and long-term needs are represented by their injury claim.
Types of Damages for Personal Injury Cases
The amount of damages you will be able to pursue also depends on the specifics of your case as every personal injury case is different, but the types of damages available to injury victims remain the same in every case.
These types of damages are:
- Economic Damage: Compensates the injured persons for the financial losses they suffer, such as medical expenses and lost wages or income due to an inability to work.
- Non-Economic Damage: Compensates for intangible losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and being unable to continue the enjoyable activities of your life.
- Punitive Damage: Given in certain circumstances to punish or deter reckless conduct by having the negligent party pay additional damages above and beyond compensatory damages. Punitive damages are not awarded by juries and courts as often as compensatory damages.
Both economic and non-economic damages are "compensatory damages" which means the purpose of them is to make up for or compensate the injured party for a loss.

- Medical costs
