Key Coverages Every Colorado Driver Should Know
Liability Coverage
Colorado requires minimum liability of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident, plus $15,000 property damage. If the at-fault driver’s limits fall short, an attorney can help explore other avenues.
Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist
UM/UIM protects you when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough to cover damages. In Colorado, roughly 1 in 6 drivers is uninsured — making this one of the most overlooked protections.
Colorado Statute of Limitations
You generally have 3 years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury claim. Evidence disappears and witnesses get harder to reach — don’t wait to reach out to Bachus & Schanker.
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.
Complimentary 1-Hour Driving Refresher
An accident can shake your confidence in ways that last long after you’ve physically recovered. Many survivors feel anxious, hesitant, or fearful behind the wheel — and that’s completely understandable.
Every Bachus & Schanker client involved in a car accident claim is eligible for a complimentary one-hour refresher lesson with one of our professional, AAA-approved instructors.

Visit coloradolaw.net →Complimentary Insurance Review
Not sure if you have the right coverage? Wondering whether your current policy would truly protect you if an accident happened tomorrow?
Bachus & Schanker is offering a complimentary insurance review for American Driving Academy clients. Their team will review your coverage, identify gaps, and make sure you are properly protected before an accident ever happens.
Schedule Your Free Review →Rebuilding Confidence After an Accident
Post-accident anxiety is real and common. Studies show that a significant number of accident survivors experience stress, hypervigilance, or avoidance when driving — even after minor crashes. Our instructors are trained to help you work through that anxiety and reclaim your independence.

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.

AAA Approved — Colorado’s Highest Standard
