Understanding Your Auto Insurance After an Accident

Auto insurance claims can be overwhelming — especially when you're already dealing with the stress of an accident. Here's what every Colorado driver should know about their coverage.

Liability Coverage

Covers damages and injuries you cause to others. Colorado requires minimum liability of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $15,000 for property damage. If the at-fault driver's limits are too low, an attorney can help explore all available avenues.

Medical Payments (MedPay)

MedPay covers your medical expenses regardless of fault — for you and your passengers. It can be used immediately while your claim is being processed. Many Coloradans don't realize they have this coverage or forget to use it.

Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist

UM/UIM protects you when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough to cover your damages. In Colorado, roughly 1 in 6 drivers is uninsured. This coverage is one of the most critical — and most overlooked — protections you can carry.

Collision & Comprehensive

Collision covers vehicle damage from a crash regardless of fault. Comprehensive covers non-collision events like theft, hail, and weather. Both require a deductible. Knowing when to file through your own policy vs. the at-fault driver's is something Bachus & Schanker can help navigate.

Rental Reimbursement

If your car is in the shop after an accident, rental reimbursement coverage pays for a replacement vehicle. The at-fault driver's liability insurance should also cover your rental — but getting that reimbursement can take time. Know your policy before you need it.

Colorado's Statute of Limitations

In Colorado, you generally have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Don't wait — evidence disappears, memories fade, and witnesses become harder to locate. Contact Bachus & Schanker early.

What This Partnership Means for You

Because of this partnership, both American Driving Academy clients and Bachus & Schanker clients enjoy exclusive benefits — designed to support a full recovery, physically, legally, and behind the wheel.

Our professional instructors understand the emotional impact of accidents. Every refresher lesson is tailored to your comfort level — we go at your pace and never push you beyond what feels safe and manageable.
