Legal Representation After an Accident in Greeley

Greeley, Colorado has a sign at its city limits that says, “Welcome to Greely, ‘The Exact Opposite of Hawaii’.” It was ranked number five for jobs and economy among the fastest-growing cities in America in a recent WalletHub study. In the 1920s Greeley manufactured one-fourth of all sugar sold and consumed in the U.S. The city was named for Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune and began as an experimental “Utopian society,” based on temperance, religion, family values, and irrigation, in 1869.

As in every other city in the nation, auto accidents and other injuries caused by the negligence of others are increasing in Greeley. If you believe you have a claim for personal injury, the Tenge Law Firm, LLC can help. We are a full-service personal injury firm and have recovered tens of millions in settlements, verdicts, and awards for our clients.

What Is Personal Injury?

In a legal context, personal injury means an injury to the body, mind, or emotions, as opposed to property damage. The term refers to a type of tort claim in which the person bringing the lawsuit (plaintiff) has suffered some type of bodily injury and/or mental or emotional harm through the negligence or wrongdoing of another party (defendant). Personal injury claims may be litigated or settled out of court.

What Should You Do If the Insurance Company Offers a Settlement?

After a serious accident, you may feel overwhelmed with ongoing medical treatments, mounting medical bills, insurance forms, and phone calls from insurance adjusters. You may be experiencing pain and suffering from your injuries, along with stress about how your injuries will affect your ability to earn a living in the future.

If you work directly with the insurance company of the party at fault for your injuries, you will likely be offered a settlement. It may be tempting to accept, to get cash in hand and put an end to some of the madness. However, bear in mind that the insurance company is in business for profit and does not have your best interests at heart. The settlement offer is likely to be for substantially less than what your claim is worth. It is important to speak with an attorney before you accept any offer from the insurance company.
