As a car accident victim, you might be overwhelmed. It is understandable.
Through no fault of your own, you are left trying to recover from the severe physical and emotional pain caused by the crash as you sift through the pile of medical expenses you must pay due to another’s negligence.
The aftermath of a car accident is stressful. You know you need a car wreck lawyer to win just compensation for you and your family, but it is hard to know who to call. You may not know how to get a lawyer for a car accident.
Although your specific needs will dictate which lawyer you retain, at least five factors can help you decide which car wreck lawyer is best for you.

1. Consider the Lawyer’s Experience Handling Car Accidents
You might not even know the first thing about lawyers. That’s okay. Many people assume a one type of lawyer is as good as another.
While that is true to a certain extent, you should not be afraid to ask, What type of attorney handles car accidents?
Some attorneys run a general practice where they take nearly every legal matter that comes through the door.
Certainly, Colorado has many good lawyers who run a general law practice. However, you may have better success maximizing your financial recovery by working with a highly experienced car wreck lawyer.
Attorney J. Todd Tenge founded our firm, Tenge Law, LLC in 1992. Since then, we have helped thousands of people injured in car accidents win compensation for their losses.
We enjoy our reputation as one of Colorado’s finest personal injury law firms because of our well-documented track record of success.
Specialization is the key. We are a boutique law firm that only handles personal injury and insurance claims—nothing else.
Focusing on car accidents and other injury cases means we know the law thoroughly—sometimes better than the judges.
Some firms do not take tough cases. We do. We have handled complicated car accident cases involving life-altering injuries and complex legal issues involving fault and damage calculations.
Some of the complex injury cases we have handled include the following:
- Spinal cord injuries,
- Paralysis,
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI),
- Burns,
- Permanent scarring,
- Amputation,
- Neck and back injuries, and
- Orthopedic injuries, including fractured or broken bones, torn muscles, ligaments, and severe sprains.
Not all cases are the same. We vigorously pursue damages in every case to help you become whole again.
2. Hire a Reputable Law Firm
We earned our reputation as aggressive, diligent, and thorough car wreck lawyers by living up to our motto: “You do what you need to do to take care of your health, and we will do the rest.”
Our client-first philosophy has yielded tremendous results. Consequently, we boast perfect ratings from our clients and have received high praise from our peers.
We accept referrals from other attorneys practicing in Colorado and across the country. Many of our clients received referrals to our firm from their medical providers.
We have even represented the same medical professionals with their personal injury claims. We would not have the referral sources that we do if our firm failed to live up to its reputation.
We are not afraid to square off with teams of insurance defense and corporate lawyers from huge law firms.
In the course of our firm’s history, we have developed a winning team of medical providers, auto repair specialists, expert witnesses, and investigators who have helped us win fair compensation for our clients.
As a boutique law firm, we keep our caseload down to focus on doing what is best for our clients. A smaller caseload allows us to pursue the best possible compensation for you aggressively.
We are fearless in taking a case to trial if that is what you need to experience justice.
Other personal injury law firms with high overhead encourage their clients to take low-ball settlement offers so the law firm can meet the demands of keeping the lights on.
3. Open Lines of Communication
We treat you as an individual and not merely another file number. As a result, we foster open lines of communication.
We pride ourselves on responding quickly to your phone calls and emails. We want to inform you of every development with your case and answer your questions.
Our entire office staff will become familiar faces to you. We have learned that treating our clients as individuals is the best way to achieve outstanding results.
4. Representation by the Lawyer You Hire
Some law firms arrange a meeting with a partner and then pass your case to a less-experienced lawyer before the ink on the retainer agreement dries.
Tenge Law is different. J. Todd Tenge represents you. Although he has the help of a dedicated staff of attorneys, assistants, and investigators, he never passes your claim to anyone else to handle.
Mr. Tenge is also a highly skilled and accomplished trial attorney. Many law firms settle quickly to avoid litigation or farm out litigation to another firm.
They avoid tough cases because they do not have the trial skills or do not think going to trial is worth it. In essence, they fall short of meeting their clients’ needs.
Our firm will file litigation and take your case to trial if doing so gives you the best chance to win a full recovery from your injuries.
5. Fee Structure
Do I need a lawyer for a car wreck? is a common question. Few people realize that car accident claims are complicated legal matters.
Instead, they are tempted to believe they could save money by representing themselves.
We use a contingency fee structure so that you never have to pay for anything out of pocket, even our filing fees and litigation costs. We receive compensation only if we win your case.
There is no faster way to lose money than trying to handle your claim personally. How would you address legal issues like comparative negligence or the statute of limitations?
We deal with every aspect of your claim. From gathering police reports and medical records, locating witnesses, hiring experts, negotiating with insurance companies, and filing legal actions, we do it all so you can focus on what is most important in your life.
