Yes, for almost any crash beyond a fender-bender with no injury. Insurers often open with offers well below what a claim is worth. Once you sign a release, that number is final. There is nothing to pay upfront. Shannon's fee comes from a percentage of the settlement or verdict, and if she doesn't win your case, you don't pay attorney fees. You may still be liable for costs or the other side's attorney fees if ordered by a court.
Four things decide how much a lawyer changes the outcome:
When it isn't worth it: a minor fender-bender with no injury, no fault dispute, and an insurer that pays the repair estimate in full. If the insurer pays your $900 repair bill without a fight, you keep all of it and a lawyer adds nothing. Not sure which kind of case you have? The consultation is free.

Common questions about car accident cases in Colorado
Seek medical attention first, even if injuries seem minor. Call law enforcement to file a report, document the scene with photos, and exchange information with other drivers. Then contact Shannon for a free consultation before speaking with insurance companies.
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal injury from a car accident is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, acting quickly preserves critical evidence. Shannon recommends consulting an attorney as soon as possible after your collision.
You may recover medical expenses (current and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and reduced earning capacity. Shannon's RN background helps ensure the full medical impact of your injuries is documented and valued properly.
Insurance companies often offer quick, low settlements before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Shannon reviews all settlement offers to ensure they account for ongoing medical needs, future treatment costs, and the true value of your claim.
