It’s been said that the way to end a war is with a change in politics. Solutions are not necessarily easy, but probably easier than war. Wisconsin governor says he will not compromise, while Indiana governor says he will to save the state from the war going on in Madison, WI. Lawsuits are often referred to as doing battle and are necessary because insurance companies fail to pay, and become unnecessary if the insurance company changes its politics in the case.

Insurance company refused to pay for client’s injuries because the insurance policy provision did not allow duplication of benefits.  Philip R. Cockerille filed a lawsuit.  The court agreed with Mr. Cockerille and ordered the insurer to pay.  If you need assistance in legal matters in Colorado, such as motor vehicle collisions, call Mr. Cockerille at 303-321-6413 or email to phil@denverpersonalinjury.net.

Clients often ask why they need an attorney.  They have talked with the insurance company representative who was “nice.”  (If the insurance representative was not nice, then the client already knows why they need a lawyer.)  The insurance representative asked about injuries and promised to stay in touch so that a settlement could be reached soon.  What the client does not know is that the insurance adjuster is looking for weaknesses in the car accident claim–delay in treatment, claim for back pain when that was not mentioned earlier, details of how the collision occurred (if the client was going through an intersection, did the client look and properly take defensive action?)  In criminal cases, the police are required by the Miranda rule to inform the person being arrested that “anything you say can and will be used against you.”  Insurance adjusters do not give such a warning, but they will record and use against the client any information that they can obtain by being friendly.  Better get a good lawyer.

Personal injury settlement for the person injured in an auto collision is complicated by many factors: speed of collision, whether there is a police report, whether there are witnesses, statements by the drivers, prior claims of the injured person, prior medical conditions or injuries, type of treatment, amount of medical bills, whether there is any other person or company who may be liable, need for future treatment, whether the injured person can afford to wait for a better settlement, the attorney’s persistence, and more….We cannot control some of these factors, but we try to maximize every settlement.
