Automobile and Motorcycle Accidents
Automobile Accidents
Automobile accidents are generally decided using the law of negligence. A person who negligently operates a vehicle may be required to pay any damages caused by their negligence, either to person or property. Generally, 
people who operate automobiles must exercise "reasonable care under the circumstances." Failure to use reasonable care is the basis in most lawsuits for damages caused by an automobile accident.
If you or a loved one is a victim of an automobile accident, call James L. Munafo & Associates now at (303)805-7430 or (719)635-9994. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to accept your case, we will work on a contingent fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary award or recovery of funds. You may have a valid claim and be entitled to compensation for your injuries, but a lawsuit must be filed before the statute of limitations expires.
Motorcycle Accidents
Because insurance companies can
make even a small case difficult for someone, it is worth five minutes of your time to pick up a phone and call 303-805-7430 for advice and/or a FREE consultation for your motorcycle accident.
However, if the injury is moderate to severe then an attorney is necessary because the average person doesn't know how to assess their claim or how to present their losses to the insurance company to obtain the best result. The insurance company that you have been paying for years isn't the friend you thought they were. Many insurance companies will try to get you to settle right away before any complications surface from your accident. We can help level the playing field and let you know how to assess your claim.
The following items should be considered when determining the value of your case:
- Pain and Suffering - It takes years of experience to determine the amount that is fair and only then are all factors of the case considered, including scarring, residual symptoms and permanent disability This is the area of a claim that doesn't follow a formula. This is the area where we can be the are most valuable.
- Damage to your bike/motorcycle including helmet, gloves, pants, shirt, etc.
- All Medical bills and consideration of any future medical bills.
- Loss of wages, including overtime, and future loss of earnings, other benefits.
After we know the answers to all the above questions then we put a value on a motorcycle accident case.
