Fort Carson, Colorado Personal Injury Lawyer

You Just Need Someone In Your Corner

A car accident near Fort Carson can turn your whole week upside down in a few seconds. One minute you’re headed through the gate or driving through Fountain, and the next you’re dealing with medical bills, a rental car, and an insurance adjuster who wants to close your file fast.

Schofield & Green Law helps people throughout the Fort Carson area, including Fountain and Security-Widefield, get back on their feet. You pay nothing unless we win.

The Roads Around Fort Carson Don't Make This Easy

Highway 115 carries a steady mix of commuters, commercial trucks, and gate traffic every day, and the backups near Gate 1 and Gate 5 during shift change are just a fact of life around here. A lot of the people we help live in Fountain or Security-Widefield and drive these same roads every single day. When a crash happens, it hits close to home.

Maybe you’re waiting on a call back from an adjuster who keeps changing the subject. Maybe you’re not sure if the offer you got even covers what you’ll need six months from now. Maybe you just don’t have the bandwidth to fight this on top of everything else going on in your life right now.

You don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

You Deserve Someone Who Actually Picks Up the Phone

We know what it feels like to be brushed off by people who are supposed to be helping you. That’s not how we work. Call, text, or email us, and you’ll get an actual answer, not a runaround.

Andrea Schofield keeps a small caseload on purpose, so the person who takes your case is the person who stays on it, from the first call to the final settlement.

Personal Injury and Accident Cases We Handle Near Fort Carson

Whatever happened to you, we’ll review your case for free and give you an honest answer about your options.

Car Accidents

Rear-end crashes at gate traffic, intersection collisions on Highway 115, and highway wrecks all leave you dealing with the same tangle of medical bills and missed work. We handle the insurance fight so you can focus on getting better.

Truck Accidents

Commercial trucks share Highway 115 with daily commuter and gate traffic, and a crash with a loaded semi rarely results in minor injuries. We dig into the driver, the carrier, and the cargo to find everyone who may be responsible.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable near gate-adjacent intersections and on Highway 115, and they’re too often unfairly blamed after a crash. We push back on inaccurate fault assessments and fight for what you’re owed.

Pedestrian Accidents

Whether you were walking near base housing, a Fountain neighborhood, or a Security-Widefield shopping area, drivers have a duty to watch for you. We hold them accountable when they don’t.

Wrongful Death

Losing someone you love to another person’s carelessness is devastating. We fight for financial relief and accountability on behalf of surviving spouses, children, and family members.

That’s what changes when you have us in your corner. You stop being the one who has to argue with the insurance company. You stop wondering if the number on the settlement offer is fair.

What Fort Carson Area Residents Should Know About Colorado Personal Injury Law

Fault Determines Who Pays

Colorado is an at-fault state. The person who caused your accident, and their insurer, is on the hook for your damages.

Filing Deadlines Are Strict

Most injury claims must be filed within two years under C.R.S. § 13-80-102. Vehicle accident claims get three years under C.R.S. § 13-80-101. Miss the deadline, and your right to recover disappears for good.

Shared Fault Doesn't Disqualify You

Under Colorado’s modified comparative fault rule, C.R.S. § 13-21-111, you can still recover damages if you’re not more than 50 percent at fault. Your award is simply reduced by your share.

The First Offer Is Rarely the Right One

Adjusters move fast, often before you know the full extent of your injuries. Once you sign, that offer is final. Always have an attorney review it first.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims Near Fort Carson

Most claims must be filed within two years under C.R.S. § 13-80-102, and vehicle accidents get an extra year, up to three, under C.R.S. § 13-80-101. If your situation is unusual, it’s worth confirming your specific deadline with an attorney rather than assuming.
Yes. Call, text, or email us whenever works for you, and we’ll work with your schedule. The important thing is not letting the deadline pass while your attention is somewhere else.
Colorado still lets you recover damages as long as you’re not more than 50 percent responsible, though whatever percentage of fault you carry gets subtracted from your total award. Adjusters routinely try to pin more blame on you than the facts support.
It depends on what caused the crash. Liability could rest with the driver, the trucking company, a maintenance contractor, or whoever loaded the cargo. Sorting out who’s responsible takes a real investigation, not just a look at the police report.
Yes, and sooner rather than later. First offers are almost always lower than what a case is actually worth, and once you accept and sign, that’s the final word. There’s no going back for more later.
It’s still worth a conversation. Injuries from car and truck crashes don’t always show up right away, and signing away your claim before you know the full picture can cost you down the road.
Nothing upfront, and nothing at all unless we win. We work on contingency, so a free case review costs you exactly zero dollars, whether or not you decide to hire us.
