The email came in through our website’s “Contact Us” button. The writer was commenting on our television commercials, particularly one in which I talk about insurance companies sending accident victims a tiny little check in the mail hoping they’ll cash it, saving the insurer from having to pay out lots of money. The writer thought my use of “tiny little” was redundant. The writer ended the email by saying, “It’s all about impressions, right?” Continue reading →

We’ve all seen examples of this. The bowser on the lap of the driver, ears flapping in the breeze (or the driver’s face). The retriever sitting in the passenger seat – no doubt not wearing a seat belt, either. Just last weekend I saw a huge dog stuffed into the back seat of a tiny car. He was so big there’s no way the driver could see out the back window.

Researchers said that the biggest risk in bringing along the trusty companion is that something will set the pet off and he’ll go ballistic in the car. Try driving down Broadway in 5:30 rush hour traffic when that happens. My bet is you’ll have a hard time focusing on the car in front of you.

I’d give drivers with pets in the car plenty of distance. But if you’re the one who gets rear-ended and hurt by a dog-distracted driver, work with a Denver car accident attorney from our office. Give me a call at (303) 758-4777 or email me. Let’s talk about your situation and your options – there’s no cost or obligation for our first meeting. For more information, see our website at www.dlslawfirm.com.

We call this “bad faith.” If it has happened to you, don’t give up – there’s something you can do. Colorado law says that your insurance company is legally required to treat you fairly. If they unreasonably delay or deny your claim, you can sue them to recover your attorney fees, court costs and two times the covered benefit.

This is a complicated area of the law, though. It’s best to work with a Denver accident attorney from our office. If you’re getting the runaround from your own insurance company, give me a call at (303) 758-4777 or email me. Let’s talk about your situation and your options – there’s no cost or obligation for our first meeting. For more information, see our website at www.dlslawfirm.com.

The issue is something called the collateral source rule, an arcane corner of tort law. But it makes a big difference to how much injured people can recover. Continue reading →

At the Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya we’ve seen insurance companies delay or deny claims, hoping that accident victims give up or miss deadlines to file lawsuits. We’ve seen adjusters try to trick injury victims into making statements that they can use against them later. We’ve even seen insurers refuse to offer a fair settlement to a client for their injuries and instead force them to go to court to get what they were entitled to.

That’s why you need a good Denver personal injury attorney from the Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya.

Motorcycle injuries can be very expensive to treat. The average lifetime cost of treating a spinal cord injury can be more than $1 million dollars. Lifetime care for a severe head injury can run into the millions of dollars. These high costs can cause severe financial hardship for victims and their families.

If you’ve been hurt in a Denver motorcycle accident, you  may be entitled to compensation from the at-fault driver. That compensation should pay for things such as medical bills, medications, physical therapy, emotional suffering, loss of quality of life, disfigurement and physical pain.

Insurance companies are hard enough to deal with for car accidents. Motorcycle accidents can be even worse. Many insurance companies look at a motorcycle accident and think the rider is at least partly to blame, even if they aren’t. That can show up as a lower settlement offer than you deserve.

That’s why you need the Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya. We know how to fight that misperception by insurance companies. We’re skilled at making them pay you every penny you deserve. If you’ve been hurt in a motorcycle accident, make the right decision. Give me a call at (303) 758-4777, email me at DLS@dlslawfirm.com or visit our website at www.dlslawfirm.com for more information.
