What Clients Say

Client
Anthony G.
Car Accident · Denver
★★★★★
"Got hit by a distracted driver on I-70. Bachus & Schanker handled everything from the accident scene reconstruction to the insurance negotiation. I never had to deal with the other driver's insurer once. Settled well above expectations."
Client
Renee D.
Medical Malpractice · Aurora
★★★★★
"After a surgical error left me with permanent damage, I needed a firm that could take on a hospital. Bachus & Schanker brought in the right medical experts, built a compelling case, and achieved a settlement that will cover my long-term care needs."
Client
Robert T.
Ski Accident · Summit County
★★★★★
"Injured by a negligent skier at a major resort. The resort's legal team was formidable. Bachus & Schanker knew Colorado ski accident law inside out — filed the right claims, pushed back hard, and won a settlement the resort did not want to pay."

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

How much has the firm recovered in total?
Bachus & Schanker has recovered over $1.5 billion for injury victims since its founding in 1997 — one of the largest recovery totals of any Colorado-based personal injury firm.
How many offices does the firm have?
Six offices across Colorado: Denver (California St downtown), plus locations in the Denver metro area and along the Front Range. Cases from throughout Colorado are handled by the firm.
Does the firm handle ski and outdoor accident cases?
Yes. Colorado's outdoor recreation culture creates a distinct category of injury cases. Bachus & Schanker has significant experience with ski resort accidents, snowboard injuries, hiking accidents, and outdoor recreation liability.
Will I work directly with a partner?
With a firm this size, case management involves attorneys, paralegals, and investigators. The firm reviews every case intake at the partner level before assigning it. If personal access to a founding partner is your priority, a boutique firm like Tenge Law or Springer & Steinberg may be a better fit.
Do I pay anything unless they win?
No. The firm operates on strict contingency. No attorney fees, no case costs — nothing — unless they recover compensation for you. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing.
