How We Help

An injury claim is an investigation with a deadline

Most injury cases are won in the file — the scene evidence, the records, the witness nobody called — long before any courtroom. With 700+ investigations behind him, Charles builds injury claims evidence-first. And the clock is real: 3 years for motor-vehicle crashes (C.R.S. § 13-80-101) and 2 years for most other injuries (C.R.S. § 13-80-102).

Car, truck & motorcycle crashes — the 3-year deadline (C.R.S. § 13-80-101), fault and insurance, and Colorado’s modified comparative-negligence rule (C.R.S. § 13-21-111) that bars recovery only at 50% fault.
Other negligence & premises — slip-and-fall and unsafe-property claims (C.R.S. § 13-21-115) and dog bites (C.R.S. § 13-21-124), on the 2-year clock.
What your claim is really worth — medical bills, lost wages, and pain & suffering, with a straight read on Colorado’s noneconomic-damages caps.
Dealing with the insurer — why the first offer is low and why a recorded statement helps them, not you.
The investigation edge — scene, records, witnesses, and valuation, worked like the cases Charles built for the government.
Fees that fit — contingency arrangements where appropriate, so you don’t pay unless we recover.

Ready when you are — talk it through with Charles.

Your choice: no-charge 20-minute phone call OR in-depth hour ($300) — both directly with Charles.

Don’t give a recorded statement first

Before you talk to the other driver’s insurer, talk to us — the no-charge call is exactly for that. What you say in the first week can quietly shrink your claim.

Fees you can plan around: clear fee agreements, flexible payment plans through Affirm, and secure payments with Square.
