YOU DON’T PAY UNLESS WE WIN


We generally handle these matters on a “contingency fee” basis, providing an accessible avenue for individuals seeking justice and compensation for their injuries. Under this arrangement, our firm will only receive payment for our services if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. In other words, our fee is contingent upon the outcome of your case. You can focus on your recovery without worrying about upfront legal costs.

Injured in a rear-end collision? We’re here to get you the MOST compensation.


 

As you drive through Colorado & Wyoming you might slow down for heavy traffic on I-25, or stop at a red light downtown. Suddenly, you’re hit from behind by a reckless driver, rear-ending you. Rear-end collisions are among the most common crashes in Northern Colorado and Wyoming, and while they might seem minor at first, they can often lead to serious and sometimes hidden injuries. At Hoffman Law Firm, we are generally a contingency fee-based firm with attorneys ready to stand by you to ensure you receive fair compensation.

Struck From Behind: Understanding Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of vehicle accidents, accounting for over 30% of all car accidents across the country. These types of accidents can occur due to numerous circumstances, such as:

 

Distracted Driving

Drivers paying more attention to their phones than the road and other drivers.

Tailgating

Staying a little too close to the vehicle in front of them and failing to react in time to traffic stops or slowdowns.

Sudden Stops

Brake checks or sudden stops in highly congested traffic areas, such as downtown Fort Collins or Cheyenne.

Visibility Issues

Inability to see because of harsh weather conditions such as snow, rain, sleet, or hail.

Common Injuries from Rear-End Collisions

These seemingly minor crashes can result in serious personal injuries and vehicle/property damage. Victims may not realize they are injured until days or weeks following an accident. After any accident, it’s important to see a doctor immediately. These injuries include, but aren’t limited to:

  • Whiplash and neck strain
  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Spinal cord damage

Some of these injuries may not present symptoms immediately, which makes it critical to seek medical and legal support as soon as possible.

Insurance Companies May Undervalue Your Claim

In the event of a rear-end collision, the rear driver is typically considered at fault. There are exceptions to this rule, but the perpetrator is held responsible in most cases. Insurance companies, however, don’t always handle victims’ claims fairly.

Insurance providers often use subtle strategies to reduce the value of personal injury claims. They may downplay the severity of your injuries, dispute your need for ongoing care, or offer an early, lowball settlement that fails to cover long-term medical expenses.

You should never feel pressured to accept an offer before speaking with an attorney committed to protecting your best interests. At Hoffman Law Firm, we offer personalized legal guidance to clients throughout Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Cheyenne, and the surrounding regions. We take a results-focused approach to every case and stand firm against unfair insurance tactics.
