Auto Accidents -
Colorado Springs Personal Injury and Auto/Car Accident Attorney, Josh Deere, will represent you!
Victims of auto accidents deserve fair compensation.
That seems like common sense to you and me.
But common sense does not always govern when you are fighting for what you deserve, especially when that fight is against a large insurance company that makes money by paying as little as they can get away with.
Think of it this way: According to statistics from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), there are an average of 12,323 serious injuries from auto accidents in Colorado each year, with an average of 510 of those resulting in death. This does not count the tens, if not hundreds of thousands of smaller accidents and other auto-related claims made to insurance companies in Colorado each year. That means insurance companies pay out millions upon millions yearly in insurance claims, so their profitability depends on their ability to reduce the amount of each payout. To them, your case is just a number, and the lower that number is, the better for them.
It is the understanding of the dynamics of the insurance companies and their system that allows a successful attorney to push the insurance companies to pay more.
Your personal injury lawyer in Colorado Springs, Josh Deere, works hard to provide the evidence and legal arguments needed to increase the value of each claim.
And when the insurance company refuses to pay what we believe is a fair amount, your personal injury attorney in Colorado Springs CO does not hesitate to file a lawsuit and take the case to trial.
What kind of compensation is a victim entitled to recover?
The law is supposed to allow an accident victim to be “made whole”.
This means that the victim should be entitled to recover the full amount of any financial losses that can be attributed to medical expenses resulting from the accident, the damage to his or her vehicle, and any lost wages caused by the accident.
In addition, the victim should be entitled to recover a monetary amount for the “pain and suffering” that resulted from the accident. In some circumstances, family members of the victim may be entitled to recover some amount under a legal theory called “loss of consortium”.
Insurance companies will often try and settle these claims with victims by only paying the medical expenses and/or to repair the damaged vehicle, and sometimes only a portion of those amounts.
This is why it is so important to discuss your case thoroughly with an experienced accident and injury lawyer in Colorado Springs Colorado.
At Deere Law, LLC, we don’t get paid until you get paid, and we only take a percentage of what we get for you.
That means we have an incentive to get you as much as possible, and as quickly as possible.

Wrongful Death -
Colorado Springs Wrongful Death and Injury Attorney, Josh Deere, will represent you!
A “Wrongful Death” case involves a claim made by the family members of a person who was killed by the negligence or intentional acts of another person.
For example, if a truck driver negligently causes an accident on the highway that seriously injures another driver, the victim has a legal claim for negligence against the truck driver.
If the victim dies as a result of the accident, however, the victim is no longer able to assert that claim against the truck driver, so the law allows the victims surviving family members to bring the claim against the truck driver (and maybe his trucking company) for Wrongful Death.
In a Wrongful Death case, the monetary compensation (known as “damages”) that the surviving family members can recover is divided into two categories: 1) economic losses and 2) non-economic losses.
Economic losses are those to which a number can be easily calculated, such as the medical expenses incurred before the victim’s death, lost wages, and funeral expenses.
Non-economic losses include less tangible damages suffered by the family members, such as the pain and suffering of losing their loves one.
Colorado has placed a cap on the amount of non-economic losses that can be recovered by family members in a Wrongful Death case. Work with your personal injury lawyer in Colorado Springs for the exact amounts.
At Deere Law, LLC, we understand the tragedy and emotions that follow the loss of a loved one.
As such, we handle Wrongful Death cases with a great deal of care, patience and sensitivity.
At the same time, we know when we need to become aggressive with the responsible party and/or their insurance company to fight for our client’s right to fair compensation.
If that means filing a lawsuit and taking the case to trial, then we are more than ready and willing to do that to.
Perhaps that is why our personal injury lawyer in Colorado Springs, received an AV Preeminent® Peer Review Rating in Litigation, the highest award an attorney can receive in legal skill and ethics, from Martindale-Hubbell®.
If you have lost a family member or loved one due to the negligence or wrongful acts of another, we look forward to spending some time with you to educate you on your legal rights, options, and strategies that may help in your case.
We never charge for the initial consultation in Wrongful Death cases, and we never charge any attorney’s fees until we win the case and the money has been collected.
That way we are incentivized to work as hard as we can to recover as much as possible for our clients.

Insurance Claims -
Insurance Claims Specialist And Colorado Springs Injury Attorney, Josh Deere, will represent you!
I often tell clients that insurance companies are not in the business of writing checks.
That may seem like nonsense considering that the reason insurance companies exist is to compensate people who have suffered a financial loss.
But like any other business, insurance companies exist to make a profit, and giving away money takes away from that profit. I do not mean to paint insurance companies as the “bad guys”, as many do these days.
Rather, I see insurance companies for what they are: a business concerned with profits and losses like any other. And like any other business, an insurance company must be persuaded that it is in their best interest to pay a fair amount to settle a case with an accident victim.
That is where the expertise and tenacity of an experienced attorney come in.
Your personal injury lawyer in Colorado Springs at Deere Law, LLC works hard to present the evidence, documentation, and legal analysis needed to convince the insurance company that they are better off paying now than putting the case in front of a jury, especially after they have paid their own defense attorneys thousands to get there.
It is a risk vs. reward analysis that must be played both carefully and aggressively to achieve the best results.
It is this understanding—this practical, common-sense perspective—that has allowed the attorneys at Deere Law, LLC to achieve numerous successes in cases that involve negotiating with insurance companies.
Bad Faith Insurance Cases -
Cases against insurance companies generally take one of two forms: 1) cases in which an injured party makes a claim against the insurance company of the person who injured him or her; and 2) cases in which an insurance company refuses to compensate the insurer’s own customer under his or her insurance policy contract.
The second of these cases is referred to as a “Bad Faith” case.
Bad Faith laws look to hold insurance companies responsible for refusing to adhere to the terms of the insurance policy contract.
If the insurance company’s denial of a claim, or refusal to pay a fair amount, is found to be unreasonable, the company may be liable to the insured under Colorado’s Bad Faith in an amount that compensates the insured not only for the amounts originally claimed under the insurance contract, but in some cases additional amounts to compensate the insured for having to suffer through the insurance company’s denial, even if that amount exceeds the policy limits in the contract.
A successful result in a Bad Faith claim against an insurance company requires a thorough analysis of the insurance contract itself, as well as all of the facts and law related to the case.
As explained above, the ability to utilize these factors to persuade the insurance company that continuing to deny or underpay the claim is not worth the risk of going forward to trial could be the difference in resolving the case with a favorable settlement.
Settle If Possible; Trial If Necessary
But not all insurance cases are settled.
Every case is different, and sometimes the two sides do not see eye to eye.
When that happens, your personal injury lawyer in Colorado Springs is ready and willing to file a lawsuit and go to trial if necessary.
As an experienced and seasoned litigator, Mr. Deere is very comfortable in the courtroom, having made thousands of court appearances, and taken hundreds of cases to trial.

Trucking Accidents -
Colorado Springs Trucking Accident and Injury Attorney, Josh Deere, will represent you!
Like other vehicular accidents, victims who are injured in an accident involving a truck are entitled to fair compensation for their injuries.
However, the chances of the victim suffering a serious or catastrophic injury in a collision with a semi-truck are exponentially greater than in a collision with another vehicle.
Commercial trucks often weigh 15-30 times that of a typical automobile, and many such accidents occur on freeways at higher rates of speed.
The results are often devastating.
When the accident involves a commercial truck that was being operated by a professional driver who was employed by a trucking company, both the driver and the company may be liable for the victim’s injuries under a legal theory called respondeat superior, or vicarious liability.
This theory holds that the driver was acting as an agent of the company when the accident occurred, and the law allows the victim to assert claims against both the agent and the employer.
This means that there may be multiple avenues of recovery, and larger insurance policies covering the company, which means a higher incentive on the part of the company and its insurer to reach a fair settlement.
Trucking accident cases can be complex and may require the use of experts in the fields of mechanical systems, traffic safety and engineering, accident reconstruction, forensics, medicine, and more.
Your personal injury lawyer in Colorado Springs, at Deere Law, LLC can help.
We offer a no-fee initial consultation, during which we will discuss the facts of your case, the law that applies in your circumstances, and the strategies that could be utilized to allow you to seek fair compensation for the injuries suffered.
If you decide to hire us to represent you, we will not charge any attorney’s fees until we have succeeded in obtaining a settlement or winning at trial, and the money has actually been recovered.
And even then, the amount we take as a fee will only be a percentage of the total amount recovered.
In addition, we will help victims find the medical treatment they need and deserve, and will continue to work with your doctors and treating professionals to obtain the records and reports needed to maximize the value of your claim.
