Auto Accident FAQ

How much does it cost to hire Harding & Associates for a car accident case? Nothing. My firm will work on a Contingency fee. That means we only collect money when we get you money. Our contingency fee specifically says that it doesn’t matter how much time or cost that we spend on a case, unless you end up netting money, you will owe us nothing. Who will I be dealing with at Harding & Associates? At my firm you will be dealing directly with the attorneys. With many other firms you deal with the case administrator or paralegal. I don’t like that. In fact, our voicemail is set up so that if you ever need us, whether it be nights or weekends, you can press 0 and you will be transferred to wherever we are. You will always know what’s happening with your case, step by step. Just give us a call with any questions, and we will be able to tell you how the case is progressing and what to expect. Do I really need an attorney for my car accident case? On cases that have minimal or no personal injuries the answer is probably no. If you have medical bills of more than just a few days of treatment, then you absolutely need to hire an attorney. There are laws in Colorado that can help you recover more. You also need to know that if you handle the case yourself you start off with the lowest of claims adjusters from that insurance company. As insurance adjusters get more practice handling claims, they graduate up to the areas of dealing with attorneys. The reason why more seasoned claims adjusters deal with attorneys is because they know that the attorneys know the laws. One of those laws is called the collateral source doctrine. This says that if a collateral source, like your health insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare reduces a bill the other side doesn’t get to use that reduction. Here’s the easiest example: you know that if you go to the emergency room and you have health insurance, Medicaid or Medicare, you get a reasonably large bill from the hospital. Then your health insurance will reduce that bill because of a contracted rate. The other side wants to see that medical bill so that they’ll only pay you the paid amount from the health insurance. This is contrary to the collateral source doctrine which says the other side needs to pay the full billed amount. The reason why the other side has to pay the full bill amount is because you paid for health insurance premiums not the bad guy that ran into you. When should I seek treatment for my car accident case? If you are injured, you should immediately see medical attention. It is It is also important to follow up with your doctors’ recommendations. For example, if your doctor wants you to go to 10 physical therapies and you go to the first two and feel like they are not helping you and then stop treating the other side will say you failed to mitigate your damages. Here’s the easiest example of failure to mitigate damages. If in a car accident you broke your arm and it was crooked, but never sought treatment, this is a failure to mitigate your damages. You would not be able to go to trial and show the jury Your broken arm and how crooked it was. The defense would come in and ask you why you didn’t see a doctor because if you had then they would have set your arm properly. The same applies with physical therapy period if after attending the first two brown’s a physical therapy you feel it’s not helping don’t stop going but go back to the doctor tell them that you feel that it’s not helping you and see if they have anything else.
