Colorado Springs' Best Personal Injury Lawyers

If you have been injured because of someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions, you may be entitled to compensation. At Rector Stuzynski Law Firm, our Colorado Springs personal injury lawyers have been representing injury victims across Colorado for over 75 years. We fight for maximum settlements while guiding you through every step of the process. You pay nothing unless we win.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Does for You

A personal injury lawyer helps injured people recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering after an accident. Unlike criminal lawyers, who focus on criminal penalties, a personal injury lawyer handles civil cases that seek financial recovery. We know how to prove negligence, negotiate with insurance companies, and present strong cases in court if necessary.

Will My Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?

Most personal injury claims are resolved through settlements, not trials. If liability is clear and both sides agree on compensation, the case can often be settled quickly. Disputed cases may require mediation or, in some situations, a trial. As your personal injury lawyer, we work to resolve your claim efficiently while protecting your right to full compensation.

Understanding Personal Injury and Negligence

Personal injury covers harm to your body, mind, or emotions caused by another’s negligence. This can include broken bones, brain or spine injuries, scarring, emotional distress, and loss of mobility. Negligence occurs when a person acts in a way a reasonable person would not, such as driving drunk, ignoring safety rules, or failing to fix hazards. To win your case, your personal injury lawyer must prove that the other party’s negligence directly caused your injuries.

Types of Cases Our Personal Injury Lawyers Handle

Our team has experience with a wide range of injury claims, including:

  • Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents
  • Rideshare accidents involving Uber or Lyft
  • Drunk, distracted, or reckless driving accidents
  • Slip and fall or premises liability injuries
  • Wrongful death claims
  • Dog bite injuries
  • Catastrophic injuries such as severe burns, brain injuries, or spinal damage

If your case type is not listed, contact us. Our personal injury lawyers have likely handled similar situations.

Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer

Handling an injury claim alone can leave you with unpaid bills and reduced compensation. A personal injury lawyer will:

  • Investigate your case and gather evidence
  • Consult with medical and accident experts
  • Calculate the full value of your claim
  • Negotiate directly with insurance companies
  • Represent you in court if necessary

We protect your rights and fight for the highest possible settlement.

Costs of Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront fees and you pay nothing unless we win. This makes it possible to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer without financial risk.

Steps to Take After an Accident

Always seek medical attention immediately after an accident, even if you feel fine. Waiting can harm your health and weaken your case. Insurance companies often use treatment delays to reduce payouts. Our personal injury lawyers can connect you with doctors in Colorado Springs who will treat you and wait for payment until your case is resolved.

How to Know If You Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim

To have a valid claim, your personal injury lawyer must prove:

  • The other party had a duty of care to act safely
  • They breached that duty through negligence
  • Their actions directly caused your injuries
  • You suffered measurable losses or damages

Potential Compensation in a Personal Injury Case

Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. Your personal injury lawyer will determine whether a lump sum or structured settlement is best for your situation.

Determining Liability in Colorado Personal Injury Law

Colorado law allows you to recover damages only if you are less than 50 percent at fault. We use witness statements, accident reconstructions, and other evidence to prove liability and strengthen your claim.

Filing Deadlines for Personal Injury Claims

In Colorado, you generally have up to three years to file a personal injury claim after a car accident and less time for other types of injury. Starting early helps preserve evidence and move your case forward faster.

Insurance Companies and Your Personal Injury Claim

Many personal injury cases involve multiple insurance policies, including:

  • Auto insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Homeowners or commercial liability coverage
  • Workers’ compensation

We manage all communications with insurers to prevent lowball settlement offers.

Your Free Consultation with a Personal Injury Lawyer

During your consultation, we will review your accident details, explain your legal options, estimate potential settlement amounts, and answer your questions. You will leave with a clear understanding of your case and next steps.

Contact Our Colorado Springs Personal Injury Lawyers

If you or a loved one has been injured, call (719) 578-1106 or visit our Colorado Springs offices. Your consultation is free and you pay nothing unless we win your case.
