About Dormer Harpring
An accident can change every part of your life — physically, emotionally, and financially. Beyond the immediate pain of an injury, many victims face mounting medical bills, ongoing treatment, and time away from work, creating financial pressure at the very moment recovery should be the priority. Our firm helps individuals and families across Colorado navigate these challenges and secure the compensation they need to rebuild.
We deliberately handle a low volume of cases so we can spend real, quality time on each one. As a Dormer Harpring client you’ll always be more than a number — we help you access medical care, respond promptly to your calls, emails, and texts, and prepare every claim as if it’s going to trial. That approach holds negligent parties accountable and protects your rights, your recovery, and your future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Settlements vary with the specifics of each case. In Colorado, many personal injury settlements fall between $15,000 and several hundred thousand dollars, and cases involving serious injuries may result in much larger amounts. On average, cases settle for roughly three times more when an attorney is involved.
Most Colorado personal injury attorneys take between 33% and 40% of the settlement or verdict as their contingency fee. At Dormer Harpring there are no upfront fees — we are only paid out of what we recover for you.
Non-economic damages such as pain and suffering are capped in Colorado. For claims accruing on or after January 1, 2025, the cap is $1.5 million — a flat limit set by HB24-1472 that replaced the older, lower inflation-adjusted cap. The cap holds until its first inflation adjustment on January 1, 2028.
Timelines vary case to case. Some claims settle within months, while others take up to two years or longer — especially cases that move into litigation. The timeline depends on your treatment and the negotiations that follow. We keep you updated at every stage.
Look for a lawyer with a track record of successful settlements and verdicts, satisfied clients, and proven trial experience. A free consultation is the best way to find out if an attorney is the right fit — we’re proud of our results and happy to discuss your case.
Helpful evidence can include medical records, police reports, photos, and pay stubs. Bring anything you’d like your attorney to review or consider regarding your accident — the more, the merrier.
Once you sign a release and accept a settlement, you generally cannot seek further compensation for the same injury — even if new issues surface later. Always seek legal counsel before accepting any offer; our team is glad to guide you on communicating with insurers.
