u guys know a good traffic lawyer? 2g damage to highway Westminster area

Hey Any of you guys know a good traffic lawyer in the Westminster area?

I had an accident and damaged the guard rail on highway 36 near by 92nd ave exit, all the way back in Mar 2010.
DOT sent a bill for the damages almost 3 years later, I got the bill yesterday.

Is there something that says they have 90 days to notify me or else it doesn't count, maybe?

[panic]$2,000 of damage. I've always have active insurance but I've changed companies since then, not sure if the company I had during the accident would even answer my call.

Contact insurance underwriter- If you had insurance I wouldn't even worry......

Yeah, I'm sure your insurance company has seen this scenario once or twice before, and will have a good idea of how to address it.

ok Thank you guys very much. I'll try that company first. Thanks!

With all of the construction does the guardrail even exist anymore? :)

It is gone in both directions in that area. The contractor scraped it out.

The good news is that the gov moves so slow that you could probably ignore it for a few more years before you have to contact your insurance company [ROFL3]

NO! When they find you and you owe the GOV they want it now! Only when they owe you, do they move slow.......

Just call the insurance company that you were insured with before. They can just reopen the claim. Whoever handled the claim the first time didn't do their job. There is a statute of limitations for property damage in Colorado, but I don't remember off the top of my head what it is. Did they just send you a bill, or were there pictures with an itemized list of damages?

Also, underwriters only speak with people in the insurance industry, they don't talk to the public. 10mm-man meant your claims adjuster.

I assumed the company he was with was out of business or he didn't know were they were or like he said; wouldn't answer his call. So I said call the underwriter figured someone could tell him how to proceed, if the business was gone, someone underwrote the policy. Just guessing though........
