Were you injured in a car accident on I-25 near Briargate? Hurt in a slip and fall downtown? Suffered serious injuries because of someone else’s carelessness? If another party’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to significant compensation under Colorado law.
At Schofield & Green Law, our accident attorneys in Colorado Springs represent injury victims throughout El Paso County. And we don’t get paid unless you do.
Personal injury law, also known as tort law, gives injured victims the legal right to pursue financial compensation when someone else’s negligence causes them harm. In Colorado, that can cover a wide range of situations: a distracted driver who runs a red light, a property owner who ignores a hazardous condition, or a dog owner whose animal attacks without warning.
To succeed in a personal injury claim, your accident attorney must prove four key elements:
Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means that even if you were partially at fault for your accident, you may still be entitled to compensation, as long as you are found to be less than 50% responsible.
However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault and your total damages are $100,000, you would recover $80,000.
This is exactly why having an experienced accident attorney in Colorado Springs on your side matters. Insurance companies will try to shift blame onto you to reduce their payout. We push back.
The sooner, the better. Insurance companies begin building their case against you immediately after an accident. Evidence disappears. Witnesses’ memories fade. And every day you wait without legal representation is a day the other side is working against your interests.
You should contact an accident lawyer as soon as possible if:
A free consultation costs you nothing, but waiting can cost you everything.
Missing a deadline can permanently bar you from recovering any compensation. If you’re unsure where you stand, contact us now. The consultation is free, and protecting your right to file costs you nothing.
After an accident, insurance companies move fast, and not in your favor. Common tactics include:

When life is upended in an instant because of someone else’s negligence, you don’t just need a lawyer. You need someone who will fight for your recovery as if it were their own.
