What Can You Recover From Your UM/UIM Coverage?
Uninsured motorist claims at our firm typically settle for $100,000 to $1 million, and stacked policies can multiply the coverage. Your own UM/UIM coverage pays what the uninsured driver cannot, and stacking can multiply it.
We prepare every case for trial from day one, and insurers know it. That is why our settlements come in bigger and faster. And so far, we are undefeated.
With us, you speak directly with your attorney, and our RN Medical Director manages your medical care from day one, insurance or no insurance. There's no fee unless we win. Contact us now for a free consultation.
Why Should I Hire An Uninsured motorist Lawyer in Aurora?
Because the other side starts immediately. You are negotiating against your own insurance company, which knows exactly how to underpay politely. A lawyer who handles these cases every week levels that field from day one: the evidence gets preserved before it disappears, the right experts get involved early, and the adjuster's opening number stops being the conversation.
The consultation is free, and there is no fee unless we win.

How Much Is My Uninsured motorist Case Worth?
Most serious uninsured motorist cases we take resolve between $100,000 and $1 million. Where a case lands in that range turns on four levers: the severity and permanence of the injuries, the strength of the liability proof, the insurance actually available, and how completely the damages are documented. Colorado adds a fifth: permanent impairment is compensated without any cap, which is where major cases grow. The categories below are what we document and demand.
Under HB24-1472, non-economic damages are capped at $1.5 million (2025); economic damages and physical impairment damages are uncapped, and a fatal crash carries the $2,125,000 wrongful death cap. UM/UIM claims follow the three-year motor-vehicle deadline (C.R.S. § 13-80-101) with policy notice requirements that run much sooner. Disputes are arbitrated or tried in Arapahoe County District Court like any injury case, and your insurer pays full value only when it believes you'll go the distance. We do.

- Put everything in writing and keep a log of every call: date, name, what was said.
- Request a complete copy of your policy in writing; Colorado law puts insurers on a clock to produce it.
- Report and cooperate promptly on the basics; give them no reason to blame you.
- Decline recorded statements until you have advice.
- Keep every letter, email, and denial; the insurer's own words become the case.
Every one of these steps you can take today, no lawyer required, and each one strengthens whatever comes next. When you are ready for the parts that do need us, the consultation is free.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire an Uninsured motorist Lawyer?
Nothing up front, ever. We work on contingency: the consultation is free, we advance every case cost (experts, records, filings, investigation), and our fee comes out of the recovery at the end. If we do not win, you owe us nothing. Statistically, hiring a lawyer does not cost money; it makes money, because represented recoveries consistently outrun unrepresented ones even after fees.
Why UM/UIM Cases Are Different
Your insurer wears two hats; it takes your premium, then defends the claim like an adversary: disputing injuries, demanding examinations, offering fractions. Colorado's counterweights are the UM/UIM statute (C.R.S. § 10-4-609) and the unreasonable-delay statute (C.R.S. § 10-3-1116), which makes stalling expensive: double the covered benefit plus fees. The mechanics, stacking, offsets, sequencing with the liability settlement, are covered in our UM/UIM claims guide and apply to every Aurora claim.
The Uninsured Problem in Aurora
Colorado's uninsured-driver rate is among the country's worst, and it concentrates where money is tight and traffic is heavy, the Colfax, Havana, and Peoria corridors see a steady stream of uninsured and minimum-limits crashes, and Aurora's hit-and-run numbers (often the same drivers) run with them. The practical result: in any serious Aurora crash, your own UM/UIM coverage is more likely than not to be part of the recovery. Check your declarations page today, before you need it, and never waive UM/UIM to save a few dollars. The crash itself gets built the way we build every car accident claims; the UM/UIM layer changes who pays, not how we prove it.
How We Build a UM/UIM Case
Prompt notice to your carrier, the police report confirming the other driver's status, and a complete medical file before any number is discussed. We find every policy that stacks, your vehicles, household members' vehicles, umbrella coverage, and we paper the insurer's conduct from day one, so if the adjuster plays games, the bad-faith claim is already built.
