Millions of Car Accidents Happen Every Year
Each year, millions of vehicle crashes occur across the United States. In 2016 alone, there were more than 7.2 million reported crashes — nearly 20,000 per day. Many of these are minor fender benders. People walk away without visible injuries, and in those cases, they often wonder:
Can I still file a personal injury claim if I wasn’t physically hurt?
At Jordan Law, our attorneys have recovered more than $550 million for injury victims in Colorado. But it’s important to understand — our firm handles personal injury cases only. We represent clients who have suffered physical harm as a result of another driver’s negligence.
We do not handle cases that involve property damage alone.

What Qualifies as a Personal Injury?
A personal injury occurs when someone suffers harm — physically, emotionally, or psychologically — due to another person’s negligent or reckless behavior.
This can include:
-
Chronic pain or nerve damage
-
Emotional trauma, such as anxiety or post-traumatic stress
-
Financial losses tied to physical or emotional injuries
If your accident caused pain, trauma, or lasting emotional distress, you may have a valid personal injury claim. If your accident involved only vehicle damage or financial inconvenience, however, our firm will not be able to represent you.
Colorado’s At-Fault Insurance System
Colorado operates under an at-fault insurance system. This means the at-fault driver’s insurance must pay for the other person’s losses — including injuries, property damage, and related expenses.
Colorado law requires drivers to carry the following minimum coverage:
-
$25,000 for injury or death to one person
-
$50,000 total for injuries or deaths in one accident
-
$15,000 for property damage
While these minimums provide some protection, they’re often not enough to cover serious injury cases. When an insurance company’s offer falls short, a personal injury claim can help you recover the full value of your losses.
When You May Have a Personal Injury Case
If another driver’s negligence caused you harm, you may have grounds for a claim. To prove negligence, your attorney must show:
-
The other driver owed you a duty of care.
-
That duty was breached through careless or reckless behavior.
-
The breach caused your injury.
-
You suffered damages as a result.
At Jordan Law, we focus exclusively on cases that involve injury — not property damage alone.
For example:
✅ Cases We Handle
-
A driver runs a red light and causes a crash resulting in whiplash, concussion, or emotional trauma.
-
A truck driver’s recklessness leads to broken bones or long-term disability.
-
An insurance company refuses to pay for medical care related to a crash injury.
🚫 Cases We Do Not Handle
-
Minor fender benders involving only vehicle repairs.
-
Claims where the only loss is to personal property.
-
Insurance disputes without any physical or emotional injury.
Why Choosing the Right Lawyer Matters
Car accident cases can be complex. Insurance companies often pressure victims to settle quickly — sometimes before the full extent of injuries is known.
Working with an experienced Denver personal injury attorney ensures that your rights are protected.
Our team investigates every case thoroughly, gathering evidence and working with medical professionals to document injuries, treatment, and long-term impact.
“Our job is to protect people whose lives were changed by another driver’s negligence,” says Attorney Jason Jordan, founder of Jordan Law.
“We focus only on injury cases because we know the physical and emotional toll they take — and we know how to fight for justice.”
