When an insurance company makes a settlement offer after an accident, how do you know whether the amount is reasonable?

There isn't a simple formula that determines what an injury claim is worth. The value depends on the evidence, the circumstances of the injury, and what might happen if the case goes to court.

Insurance companies make their own evaluations when deciding what to offer, and those evaluations may be different from what the evidence supports.

In this week's The Truth About... video, Scott Anderson explains how settlement offers work, why the first offer may not be the final offer, and what you need to understand before agreeing to settle your claim.

Understanding how the process works can help you make a more informed decision.

The clock doesn't stop for negotiations.

After an accident, you may spend months communicating with an insurance company. The adjuster may request medical records, review your treatment, discuss damages, or make a settlement offer.

Because those conversations are ongoing, it's reasonable to believe your claim is moving toward a resolution.

But there's an important distinction between an insurance claim and a lawsuit.

In Colorado, negotiating with an insurance company generally does not stop the statute of limitations from running.

That means your insurance claim can remain open while the legal deadline to file a lawsuit continues to approach.

At Anderson Injury Law, we encourage people to understand the deadlines that apply to their situation, even when settlement discussions appear to be progressing.

An active insurance claim doesn't necessarily mean your legal rights are protected.

When the government is involved, the rules can change.

Not every personal injury claim follows the same legal deadlines.

Consider someone injured in an accident involving a government-owned vehicle. They might assume the same deadlines apply as they would in an accident involving another private driver.

That assumption could create a serious problem.

In Colorado, certain claims against governmental entities are subject to special requirements under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act. These can include a formal notice requirement that generally must be satisfied within 180 days.

That is different from the ordinary statute of limitations for many automobile accident claims.

At Anderson Injury Law, we encourage people to understand that who is responsible for an injury can affect both the process and the time available to pursue a claim.

When a governmental entity may be involved, getting legal advice early is particularly important.

After an accident, many people rely on their insurance adjuster for information about the claims process. They discuss medical treatment, vehicle repairs, settlement offers, and sometimes how much time they have to pursue their claim.

The problem is that the deadline an adjuster provides may not always be correct.

Insurance adjusters often handle claims involving different states and different types of accidents. The legal deadlines can vary, and the information an adjuster relies on may not account for the specific circumstances of a claim.

At Anderson Injury Law, we encourage people to verify their legal deadlines rather than relying solely on information from an insurance company.

An incorrect deadline can have serious consequences, particularly if someone waits too long to pursue their claim.

Understanding the applicable deadline is an important part of protecting your legal rights.

When someone is injured in an automobile accident, knowing the statute of limitations is important. However, having time left before that deadline doesn't necessarily mean there's plenty of time to prepare a personal injury case.

Consider someone who spends two and a half years trying to resolve their claim with an insurance company before contacting an attorney.

They may still be within Colorado's ordinary three-year deadline for motor vehicle accident claims, but that leaves only six months to investigate the accident, review medical records, evaluate the claim, and prepare a lawsuit if necessary.

Depending on the circumstances, that may not be enough time to properly prepare the case.

At Anderson Injury Law, we encourage people to understand their legal options early, even when they believe the insurance company will resolve their claim.

Waiting until a deadline approaches can limit those options.

One of the questions people have after an accident is how much time they have to pursue a personal injury claim.

The answer isn't always as straightforward as people might expect.

In Colorado, different circumstances can create different legal deadlines. The type of accident, who may be responsible, and even the age of the injured person can affect how much time is available.

There is also an important distinction between having time left under the law and having enough time to properly prepare a case.

In our latest The Truth About... video, Joy and I discuss these deadlines, some of the exceptions, and why waiting to speak with an attorney can create problems even before a deadline expires.

It's an important conversation for anyone dealing with an injury after an accident.

Silence during a deposition can feel uncomfortable, especially when you're the person answering questions.

An attorney may ask a question, listen to your answer, and then spend time looking at a computer or reviewing notes without saying anything.

Sometimes that silence is intentional.

Attorneys know that people can become uncomfortable when no one is speaking. That discomfort may lead someone to continue talking, adding details or explanations after they've already answered the question.

If you've answered a question honestly and completely, you don't need to keep talking simply because the room has become quiet.

Understanding how depositions work can help you feel better prepared for the experience.

During a deposition, it can be tempting to explain more than you need to.

Sometimes a straightforward yes or no really is enough. Other questions may require more context.

The important thing is to listen carefully, understand what is being asked, and answer honestly and directly.

More words don’t necessarily make an answer better. When your answers are being given under oath, being clear and straightforward matters.

What if you’re asked a question during a deposition and you don’t remember the answer?

It’s okay to say you don’t remember.

Trying to fill in a detail you aren’t sure about can create a bigger problem if your answer turns out to be wrong.

Your credibility matters during a deposition. Being honest and straightforward includes being willing to say, “I don’t remember,” when that is the truthful answer.

A deposition isn’t a test of how much you can remember. Your answers are given under oath, and accuracy matters.

By the time a deposition takes place, much of the information about the case may already be known.

So what else are attorneys paying attention to?

How does someone respond when answering questions under oath? Are they clear? How do they handle the pressure of being questioned?

Those things can provide insight into how someone may present if the case eventually goes to trial.

A deposition may not produce a dramatic new fact, but it can still tell attorneys a great deal.
