Skiing Accidents in Aspen and throughout Colorado
Aspen is a top destination for skiers and adventure seekers, and for good reason! But when your vacation or retreat is ruined by a skiing or snowboarding accident, it can feel like you have nowhere to turn for help. Skiing companies and ski lodges can be powerful adversaries in personal injury cases — after all, what is your first ski injury claim may be their hundredth (or more). Thiessen Law Firm can help you gather evidence and build a strong case so negligent companies can’t shirk their responsibilities to their customers.

Car accidents lawyers in Colorado
Aspen’s mountain curves, unpredictable weather, and constant flow of tourists unfamiliar with the local roads make car accidents in the Roaring Fork Valley uniquely dangerous. When another driver’s negligence leaves you injured, you’re not just dealing with a damaged vehicle; you’re up against insurance adjusters trained to minimize what they pay. Thiessen Law Firm investigates every angle of fault, fights back against Colorado’s comparative negligence rules, and builds cases that hold negligent drivers and their insurers fully accountable.

Truck accidents
Aspen’s steep grades, sharp switchbacks, and narrow mountain roads were never built for commercial big rigs, and when a fully loaded truck loses control, the results can be catastrophic. Truck accident cases also involve more than just the driver. Trucking companies, cargo loaders, and maintenance contractors can all share liability. Thiessen Law Firm knows how to identify every responsible party and pursue them for the full compensation our clients deserve.

Catastrophic injuries
Some injuries don’t heal on a normal timeline; they rewrite the rest of a person’s life. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, and other life-altering harm require more than a quick settlement. They require an attorney who will document the full, long-term cost of what’s been lost, not just the medical bills already on the table. Thiessen Law Firm builds every catastrophic injury case as if it’s going to trial, because that’s exactly what gives our clients the leverage to get a fair result.

How we fight insurance companies in Colorado
Insurance companies are not on your side, no matter what their commercials say. They employ adjusters, analysts, and in-house attorneys whose entire job is to find reasons to pay accident victims less than they’re owed. Every delay, every lowball offer, every request for “one more document” is a calculated move designed to wear you down until you take whatever they put on the table. At Thiessen Law Firm, we know exactly how that game is played, and we know how to beat it.
Here’s how our Aspen personal injury attorneys go to war for you when an insurer stands between you and the compensation you deserve:
- We investigate everything. From the moment we take your case, we build a complete record of how the insurance company has handled your claim, including every denial, delay, and misleading communication.
- We bring in the right experts. Medical specialists, financial analysts, accident reconstructionists, and life-care planners help us document the full scope of your damages and present them in a way insurers and juries take seriously.
- We negotiate from a position of real trial strength. Insurance companies negotiate differently with attorneys who actually take cases to trial and win them. That reputation alone changes the conversation.
- We pursue every dollar Colorado law makes available. Depending on the facts of your case, that can mean economic damages, non-economic damages, and other statutory remedies. We go after all of it.
The insurance company is betting you’ll give up. Call Thiessen Law Firm and prove them wrong.
Why should you contact an Aspen personal injury attorney?
When an accident does occur in Colorado, insurance policyholders retain the right to recover compensation for their losses as a result of the accident. Compensation for personal injury can help cover losses stemming from medical bills, lost wages, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other damages. These expenses can and often do add up. Though financial compensation can’t fix every loss, it can give you and your family members much-needed peace of mind and security as you heal emotionally and physically.
Unfortunately, recovering a fair amount of compensation is easier said than done. Large insurance companies often try to minimize or debunk your claim to avoid giving you the maximum amount of compensation you deserve. Negotiations with insurance defense lawyers can often be lengthy and complicated –– especially if you’re recovering from a traumatic accident.
These insurance companies often believe they’re just doing their job. Well, we do ours better. Mark Thiessen, a trial-tested Aspen personal injury lawyer, is known for his aggressive pursuit of his clients’ best interests. He and the team at Thiessen Law Firm will assert your rights and work hard to get you the compensation you and your loved ones deserve.
When should you contact a personal injury lawyer in Aspen?
The statute of limitations in Colorado for typical personal injury cases is two years. This means that you have only two years after the injury occurred to file your personal injury lawsuit. While this may feel like a long time, two years can pass very quickly if you and your family are focusing on recovering from major injuries.
Hiring an Aspen personal injury lawyer will help you stay on top of important deadlines like the statute of limitations so that you can more easily focus your energy on rebuilding your life.
The best time to hire an Aspen personal injury lawyer is soon after your accident. Over time, evidence can be corrupted, eyewitnesses move on, records get lost, and memories fade. Meanwhile, insurance companies and responsible parties are building a case against your claim. The sooner you get an aggressive personal injury lawyer on your case, the better your chances of preserving important evidence and building a strong case.
How much does an Aspen personal injury lawyer cost?
Reputable personal injury lawyers like those at Thiessen Law Firm work on a contingency fee basis. This means that our payment is contingent (dependent) upon the successful settlement of your claim, whether that claim was taken to trial or not. We don’t get paid until you do
If you encounter a personal injury lawyer that offers to take your case but not on a contingency fee basis, run for the hills. And if you encounter a personal injury lawyer that expects to be patted on the back for working on a contingency fee basis, be wary — what they’re doing is standard, basic ethics, not rocket science.
Once a claim is settled, the costs will depend on the specifics of your case, including the duration of the claim and the experience of your lawyer. (Note that experienced lawyers are often better at shortening the length of your case.)
