A car accident can take a major financial toll on victims, inflicting expensive injuries and property damage. If you get involved in a car accident, it is essential to understand how much your case is worth before accepting a fast settlement from a car insurance company. A car accident attorney in Fort Collins can evaluate your claim to help you seek a full financial recovery.
It is important to realize as a car accident victim that an “average settlement amount” does not exist. Car accident cases have widely varying values based on the specific details. While online sources state that the average car accident settlement in Colorado is around $25,000, this could be significantly different from the value of your individual case; for example, some car accident victims are able to obtain seven-figure damage awards.
Client Reviews
“Sam and his team worked to make sure every aspect of my case was taken care of and that I was informed the whole way through. I know nothing about law or how the process works, so he explained everything to me in a way that was easy for us non-lawyers to understand. I can’t recommend them enough and everything they helped me with over the course of my 15 month case. I’d highly recommend!”
– Megan Neeley, Google Review

“Sam was a great help with my situation. I’m glad I took the time to call him. He explained everything up front and pretty much everything went just as he explained. The communication was great through the whole process. I would certainly recommend him and would certainly use him again.”

“Sam Cannon is what you want in a lawyer. I’ve used them a couple of times now and each time I call, Sam’s always shown a level of dedication that’s beyond impressive. In fact, he often seems to be more passionate about my case than I was, which was refreshing because it’s rare to see that kind of care these days.
More than just a good person, Sam and company are excellent at what they do. Professional and, more importantly, timely. I’ve never not had a call or message returned within 24 hours. They really set the standard for legal help. If you find yourself in a bind, this is the firm to call.”

“Sam was my attorney when I got into my car accident and he was the best! He made it very comfortable and told and explained everything that was going on and what will happen! He was very sympathetic and showed that he really cared about me and was concerned about my health issues! I am very thankful for everything he has done for me and for my family. If anyone that I know needed help and needed an attorney, Sam would be the first person I would recommend! ”
– T.C., Google Review
“Sam Cannon is very knowledgeable and efficient. He really cares about the little guy. When a landlord tried to take advantage of my naivety and swindle me out of my deposit, Sam was able to quickly get me my entire deposit back and gave me the information I needed to protect myself from such scams in the future.”
– Kayla, Google Review
“Sam and his group were very good to me! Sam always treated me and my time with respect and I always felt welcomed when I walked into the office! Thank you, Sam, for treating me as a person and genuinely concerned with my well-being as well as the rest of my family!!!”

“Sam Cannon is an excellent attorney. He truly cares about what he is doing and about the people he represents, which I found very rarely when looking for legal representation for my father-in-law. Sam did the very best he could for us and I would recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent medical malpractice attorney.”
– Tilia, Google Review
“Sam Cannon is dedicated, empathetic, efficient and trustworthy. Sam is the best attorney I have dealt with and there have been more than a few. Not only a skilled attorney and good human being he is probably the only attorney you will ever meet that returns phone calls and e-mails very quickly. I hope I never need another attorney but if I do, it will be Sam Cannon.”
– Ron, Google Review

Rather than basing the value of your car accident case on an “average” that will not be accurate for your unique circumstances, consult with a car accident lawyer to determine value based on a comprehensive review of your case.
An attorney will analyze factors that can impact your case’s value, such as:
In addition, considerations such as whether the case settles outside of court or goes to trial can affect the final value of the award. The best way to determine how much your car accident case is worth is by contacting a lawyer for a personalized evaluation.

A car accident victim in Colorado may be eligible for a variety of economic and noneconomic damages from the person or party at fault for the collision.
Examples include:
After an automobile accident takes place, keep copies of your medical bills and any documents related to the collision and your injuries. You or your attorney must prove the existence of any damages sought.
No Fees Unless We Win
Under Colorado’s fault law, the driver or party at fault for causing a motor vehicle accident is responsible for paying for related damage. All drivers in the state must meet the mandatory automobile insurance minimums: $25,000 for bodily injury or death per person, $50,000 for bodily injury or death per accident, and $15,000 for property damage. Unless the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, you will be able to recover up to these policy limits as a crash victim.
Do not accept a settlement from a car insurance provider in Colorado until you have discussed your case with an attorney and know what it is worth. Rushing into a fast settlement could lead to accepting less than you need and deserve, especially if you or a loved one suffered serious injuries.
An attorney can accurately evaluate your claim to determine its potential value. Then, the lawyer can aggressively negotiate with an insurance company on your behalf to secure maximum financial compensation.
