Kirk and Jay spent years representing insurance companies, so they understand their playbook. Now he fights for injured people.

Colorado City Personal Injury FAQ
Do I pay you upfront?
No. We work on contingency. You pay nothing unless we recover money for you. Our fee comes from the settlement or judgment we win.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
Colorado's statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury for most personal-injury claims. If you delay, you risk losing your right to sue. Contact us soon so we can file on time.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Usually, no. First offers are almost always low. We evaluate your claim, gather evidence, and negotiate with the adjuster. If they won't pay fair value, we file suit and prepare for trial.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial. But we prepare every file to go to court, which puts pressure on insurers to offer a fair settlement. We're not afraid to try your case in Pueblo County Combined Courts.
How long does a personal-injury case take?
Simple cases may settle in months. Complex injuries or liability disputes can take a year or more. We keep you informed and work as fast as possible while building the strongest case.
