Big enough to deliver. Small enough to care.

Since 2001, we serve as the personal injury lawyers Denver at the Law Offices of Peter M. Anderson; we have worked tirelessly on behalf of clients throughout our state. What makes us unique is our small client roster (we only take on a handful of new cases in each year), high-touch client service and focus on only two areas of law: road-related accidents (truck accidents, car accidents, etc.) and the ensuing personal car insurance claims (insurance breach of contract/bad faith).

On-road accidents (auto, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian): The Law Offices of Peter M. Anderson has spent nearly 25 years in business, honing our knowledge and expertise of road accidents. As the law has changed, so have the dynamics of accidents. A truck accident is vastly different from an auto crash; injury severity varies; legal doctrines changes; insurance requirements are updated.  We are at the forefront of industry with more than a century of years of collective experience, advocating for safer driving and holding those accountable for causing injury.  We do so by being one of the few true trial law firms in the area. 

What we do in a personal injury case…

  • Our four-person team of Boulder and Denver personal injury lawyers and paralegals are specialists in on-road accidents cases.
  • We help people and their families who have suffered serious physical harm (broken bones, spinal injuries) or brain injury (MTBI, concussion) resulting from a car or trucking accident
  • We work cooperatively with clients, their families/friends and their medical providers to get a full understanding of the severity of injuries, ongoing treatment and impact on daily life.
  • We only work with clients where the liability is clear: the defendant must be at fault, with proof from the police, accident reconstructionists, witnesses and crash scene dynamics.
  • We fight the defendant’s car insurance (insurance is in every claim), seeking only fairness: compensation for our clients’ medical care, future treatment, physical impairments, lost wages, etc.  

Insurance claims from on-road crashes. Our personal injury lawyer Denver and experienced team also handle cases involving insurance breach of contract issues related to on-road accidents. In severe accident cases, sometimes the at-fault driver doesn’t have enough vehicle insurance to pay for the injuries caused. In that instance, the injured party (our client) can request their own insurance company to compensate for outstanding injuries and treatment; this is an added paid coverage as uninsured/underinsured motorist policy. Far too often, our client’s personal auto insurer will delay or wrongfully deny the full claim value. If this happens, we will manage all insurance negotiations, medical evaluations and logistical matters to enforce that basic fairness principle: premiums paid should equal policies promised.

Taking our practice to the people

We believe in the power of the American justice system. That’s why we only take cases that we truly believe in. We make every effort to settle our clients’ cases with the best possible outcome, hoping to always exceed expectations. But a fair settlement isn’t always possible, as insurance companies consistently make low-ball offers. Insurers will always pick profits over people, denying or devaluing injuries in the hopes that an injured person will just give up.  Instead, we stand up for our clients and bring the case to the people of Colorado, asking fellow citizens to decide a case’s worth.  Our record of success in settlement negotiations and in the courtroom is proof of our competency.

FAQs about personal injury cases

Put simply: personal injury lawyers help people who have been hurt by the actions of others - who failed to follow the rules of the road. A personal injury lawyer’s primary goal is to recover money for their injured clients to pay medical bills and afford the time away from work to fully recover. How? By pursuing bodily injury claims against the at-fault driver's insurance. If the at-fault driver's policy doesn't cover the severity of injuries, we may also pursue legal action under our clients' own uninsured/underinsured motorist policies.

Personal injury lawyers specialize in cases involving injured victims. Common case types include auto accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, and bicycle or pedestrian accidents. Some firms don't specialize, with their attorneys doing everything from slip and fall to dog bites, etc. That is not the case with the Law Offices of Peter M. Anderson - we specialize in two areas of practice only: on-road crashes and insurance claims (breach of contract/bad faith) stemming from those crashes.

Our first meeting is essentially a two-way interview. It gives a potential client a chance to get to know us, and offers us an opportunity to understand the case, liability and severity of injuries. We may ask questions about your injuries, your health and medical history, driving record and recollection of the accident. If you are experiencing concussive symptoms or have an eyewitness, we invite you to bring them with you to help us understand the case from another perspective. Finally, this is your chance to get to know us! It is important that you feel comfortable with the team you choose to represent you.

Our offices are located in Longmont, just outside of Boulder, Colorado. We represent clients from Greeley, Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs, as well as smaller communities all over the state. As a result, we often make home visits throughout your case. Not only is this much more convenient for our clients, but it gives us the opportunity to fully understand how your injury has affected your way of life. Our advocacy is only as good as our understanding; home visits, as well as interviews with your family and friends, helps us build a complete picture to present to a jury.

We won’t know the viability of your vehicle accident case until we talk to you and hear your story. The first order of business is determining liability: we only work with clients who are clearly and definitively not at fault in a crash (proven by witness statements, police reports, accident mechanics, etc.) Second, we require proof that severe injuries stemmed directly from the crash, and your medical providers can directly attribute treatment to the crash.

Every personal injury matter begins with a thorough investigation; the more complete our understanding of your case, the better we can advocate on your behalf. Every one of our cases, from a simple slip and fall to a wrongful death tragedy, undergoes a thorough in-house evaluation before we bring it before a mediator or jury. In negotiating your settlement, we present eyewitness testimony, crash reconstruction experts, medical professionals, occupational therapists, and even economists (if the case involves long-term disability). We also interview your family, friends and neighbors to ensure that we present a full and truthful picture of how your life has been affected by the accident.

Insurance policies can be profoundly complicated, and each case will vary in this regard. Some accidents, particularly those involving large trucks, may involve several insurance policies, which offers a multitude of ways to collect damages; these are complicated cases that require an intricate understanding of insurance law.

The at-fault driver's auto insurance should ultimately pay for the outstanding medical bills and future treatment. Financial recovery for medical care is often at the top of the list of concerns for our new clients. We ensure your medical bills are paid by making sure we have a complete picture of what your injury has cost, and will cost in the future. This could mean primary care visits, specialist visits, chiropractic and osteopathic care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, mental health care and other expenses related to your injury. If you have sustained a long-term disability that has compromised your ability to work, we will collect on this financial loss as well.

The value of your case is determined one of two ways: we agree to a settlement amount in negotiation that you feel is fully compensatory, or we go to trial and present your case to a jury. Peter Anderson has been trying cases nearly every year for over 20 years, and is ready to fight for fairness. By bringing a case to trial, the jury becomes the voice of the community, valuing a case's true worth.

Every case is a little different, as is every trial judge. Most trials start between 12-14 months after the complaint is filed. State Federal court rules differ on many levels, like number of jurors.

Litigation made easy: Our friendly attorneys and legal staff help you navigate the legal system and making it simple.

Our law firm operates on a contingency fee basis, which means that we don’t take a fee until we reach a settlement or a verdict. If we do not reach a settlement or verdict on your case, our lawyers do not get paid a fee.
