What Sets The Law Firm of Ted Bills Apart for Fountain Clients

Ted’s prior medical background changes how injury cases get built. He knows how to read medical records, identify gaps in treatment documentation, and connect clients with specialists who use current diagnostic technology. That combination of medical fluency and legal experience means your injuries are documented in ways that hold up during negotiations and, if necessary, at trial.

Our network of medical professionals supports both your recovery and your claim. Ted builds a personalized treatment plan with the right physicians for your specific injuries, from orthopedic care to neurological evaluation. Strong documentation can support your position at the negotiating table.

Our contingency fee is a flat 33% and doesn’t increase if your case proceeds to litigation. There are no upfront costs and no fee unless we recover for you. The firm has recovered over $50 million for injured clients, including a $2,000,000 motor vehicle collision recovery, an $800,000 motor vehicle collision settlement, a $700,000 motor vehicle collision recovery, a $500,000 bicycle accident recovery, and a $500,000 low back injury settlement.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Fountain

Fountain sits along the I-25 corridor and the Highway 85/87 route, and motor vehicle collisions are among the most common reasons local residents need legal help. We handle the full range of personal injury matters for Fountain and El Paso County clients.

Motor Vehicle & Traffic Accidents
Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, bus accidents, pedestrian accidents, and bicycle accidents. We pursue compensation for injuries caused by negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, and commercial vehicle operators.

Premises Liability & Product Claims
Property owners in Colorado have a duty to maintain safe conditions. We handle premises liability claims involving slip and fall incidents, inadequate security, and other unsafe property conditions, as well as product liability claims when a defective item causes harm.

Catastrophic Injuries & Wrongful Death
Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other life-altering harm require a different level of case preparation. We also represent families pursuing wrongful death compensation in Colorado when a loved one is killed due to another’s negligence.

Insurance Bad Faith & Rideshare Accidents
When an insurer acts in insurance bad faith or a collision involves an Uber or Lyft driver, the legal landscape gets more complex. We handle both, fighting for the compensation Fountain residents deserve without letting insurers delay or undervalue a legitimate claim.

Colorado Personal Injury Law: What Fountain Residents Should Know

Filing deadlines in Colorado depend on the type of claim. Under C.R.S. 13-80-102, most personal injury cases must be filed within three years of the injury. That window sounds generous, but evidence deteriorates, witnesses become harder to locate, and insurance companies use delay to their advantage. Claims against a government entity carry a stricter rule: a written notice of claim is required within 182 days of discovering the injury, or the right to sue can be lost entirely.

Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule under C.R.S. 13-21-111. If you share some fault for the accident, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If a court finds you 50% or more at fault, you can’t recover anything. Insurance adjusters know this rule well and often try to shift blame onto the injured party early in the process to limit what they owe.

Types of recoverable damages in Colorado:

Economic damages: Medical bills, lost wages, future lost earnings, rehabilitation costs, and out-of-pocket expenses directly tied to the injury
Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other harms that don’t carry a receipt

Colorado caps non-economic damages in most civil personal injury cases. Economic damages aren’t capped. Personal injury claims filed by Fountain residents are handled through El Paso County Combined Courts in Colorado Springs.

Steps to Take After an Injury in Fountain

What you do in the hours and days after an accident can significantly affect the strength of your claim. A few steps matter more than others.

Seek a medical evaluation right away, even if symptoms seem minor. Injuries like traumatic brain injuries and soft tissue damage often don’t produce obvious symptoms immediately. A delay in diagnosis can become a gap an insurer uses to dispute the severity of your injury. UCHealth’s emergency care location in Fountain provides local access for residents who need prompt evaluation after an accident.

Document the scene as thoroughly as possible. Photographs of the vehicles, your injuries, road conditions, and any visible hazards create a record that’s difficult to dispute later. File a police report and request a copy, since law enforcement documentation is routinely used as evidence in motor vehicle and premises liability claims.

Don’t give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster before speaking with an attorney. Adjusters are trained to ask questions in ways that produce answers that minimize claim value, and early statements are regularly used against claimants. An attorney can manage all insurer contact on your behalf, letting you focus on recovery rather than navigating a process designed to work against you.
