Boulder Rental Car Accident Attorney

If you are hurt in an accident with a rental car, you may be unsure how to recover the damages you have. Determining who is at fault can be complex in some situations, but you do have to pursue those losses against any party you can show is negligent. With the guidance of a Boulder rental car accident attorney, you gain more of the insight you need to navigate those rights. Talk to a Boulder car accident attorney from Purvis | Thomson, LLP, today about your case.

Determining Negligence in a Rental Car Accident

One of the most important steps your Boulder rental car accident lawyer will take is investigating the fault. Most of the time, the driver behind the rental car maintains responsibility for the accident. In cases of speeding, impairment while driving, recklessness, or fatigue, you can file a claim against the at-fault driver.

You may be able to pursue the rental car owner if you can show the company was negligent. If they did not maintain their vehicle, and that failure led to the accident and injuries you have, you can hold them responsible for your injuries. With the guidance of a rental car accident lawyer in Boulder, you will have the evidence to prove what occurred.

Damages Recoverable in a Rental Car Accident

Once you know who is at fault, the next step is to demonstrate what the accident caused to you, including physical, mental, and financial losses. Before you file such a claim, speak to an attorney about all the ways in which this incident has impacted your health and well-being. Some examples of the losses you may have include:

• Medical expenses from the accident
• Ongoing medical losses for future care needs
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Property damage
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of quality of life

Note that your attorney will work to maximize all areas of loss possible. This enables you to fight for the biggest claim possible and, ultimately, to move forward with your life.

Let Your Attorney Handle Your Rental Car Accident Claim

By working with a Boulder rental car accident lawyer, you gain the one-on-one legal support you need during this challenging time. Insurance companies are not there to help you but to minimize fault and lower their claim. For that reason, you should not file a claim until you speak to a lawyer. Your attorney will:

• Determine all parties at fault, including identifying any third-party liability insurance policies from the rental company or other sources as applicable
• Value your losses through comprehensive investigation of all implications to your health and well-being
• Build a strong claim and then negotiate on behalf of the victim to pursue full compensation
• File a lawsuit when necessary to seek out additional losses
• Go to trial, if necessary, to recover damages if the insurance company will not settle in a fair manner

You have, under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102(1) (2024) two years for most types of lawsuits to be filed in court. If you wait beyond this time, you may not be able to seek damages as the court will not hear your case.
