Services
Personal Injury Claims
We represent clients injured in motor vehicle accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, and other negligence cases. Our attorneys calculate economic losses, document non-economic damages, and negotiate with insurance companies to secure full compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We handle cases involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and permanent disabilities.
Insurance Bad Faith
Our team challenges improper insurance claim denials, lowball settlement offers, and unreasonable delays. We investigate coverage issues, analyze policy language, and litigate bad faith claims under Colorado Revised Statute 10-3-1104. We hold insurers accountable for emotional distress and financial losses caused by their improper claims handling practices.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
We handle all types of motor vehicle collision cases, including car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. Our attorneys investigate crash scenes, obtain police reports, and work with accident reconstruction experts. We pursue claims against at-fault drivers, employers under respondeat superior doctrine, and insurance companies to recover compensation for property damage, medical treatment, and lost income.
Uninsured Motorist Claims
We assist clients when the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance. Our attorneys analyze policy provisions, negotiate with insurance companies, and litigate uninsured/underinsured motorist claims. We maximize recoverable amounts through policy stacking and pursue claims against personal assets when appropriate to ensure clients receive full compensation for their injuries.
Wrongful Denial Litigation
We challenge wrongful insurance claim denials through formal appeals and courtroom litigation. Our attorneys document coverage entitlements, prepare demand packages, and present evidence of insurer misconduct. We pursue punitive damages for willful and wanton claim denials while ensuring clients understand their rights throughout the dispute resolution process.

Questions
What types of cases does Kaudy Law handle?
We specialize in personal injury cases from motor vehicle accidents, insurance bad faith claims, and disputes over uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
How does Colorado's modified comparative fault system affect my case?
If you're found 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. If less than 50%, your award reduces by your percentage of fault.
What compensation can I recover after a car accident?
You may recover economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, up to $366,250 in Colorado).
How do insurance policy limits impact my claim?
Policy limits cap recoverable amounts. For example, $100,000/$300,000 coverage provides maximum $100,000 per person and $300,000 total per incident.
What if the at-fault driver has no insurance?
We explore uninsured motorist coverage, personal assets of the at-fault party, and alternative legal theories to secure compensation.
