Megan Marie Hottman

My wife and I are avid cyclists. We were on our way to San Diego for a cycling event. I was hit by a car while out for a short bike ride prior to starting the final leg of our journey. The driver of the car was distracted by some activity, other than driving, when he made a left turn directly into m...y path of travel down the bike lane. I recall seeing the car top the hill a hundred yards or so ahead of me and to my left. I do not recall seeing him start his turn or much of anything else until I found myself sitting in the middle of the road bleeding and confused. I ended up with a nasty shoulder separation and required surgery to both hands to repair ligaments and broken bones in my thumbs. My bike ended up some 10 yards down the street from me and was heavily damaged. I initially considered myself lucky and figured my case was to small to involve a lawyer. The driver’s insurance company initially showed signs of being “reasonable” to work with. I quickly encountered several of the games insurance companies employ to frustrate, delay and ultimately attempt to pay very little of an accident victim’s losses. I realized I needed help. I didn’t want to become a victim of the insurance companies’ “process”. I needed to focus on healing and getting back to my work and life. A friend mentioned he had seen a “bicycle lawyer” named Megan Hottman speak at a cycling event in Denver. I called Megan. Megan impressed me from our first meeting. Her depth of experience, knowledge and passion for getting a fair settlement for her clients was clear. I felt a great weight lifted when Megan took my case. Megan kept me informed on progress every step of the way. There was never any doubt I had found the right person to guide me through this mess. I can’t thank Megan enough for the considerable time she saved me. Your precious time is ultimately what insurance companies try to manipulate in order to get you to settle for little or nothing. Megan was able to secure a fair settlement which allowed me to quickly replace my lost property, take care of my medical needs and move on with my life. My wife and I are now back to enjoying our cycling adventures. Thanks again Megan!

I was struck by a car while going through a green light and having my forearm snapped in half while out riding. I have only partial memory of what happened after being hit. I do not even remember the ambulance ride to the hospital. After having surgery and heading home, a friend recommended I contact... Megan to help deal with the insurance company. I had never contacted a lawyer before in my life and was a bit unsure at first. However, after speaking on the phone with Megan for close to an hour I decided I needed her on my side. Megan always kept me well informed and encouraged me to get the treatment I deserved to help me heal. After a long battle with the insurance company, they finally agreed to pay. I would not have been able to do this without Megan. She took the entire thing by the horns and wouldn't back down until things were made right. If you are on the fence about hiring a lawyer after being hit by a car, do your self a favor and contact Megan today! Thank you so much Megan!

I contacted Megan after being struck by a vehicle while commuting to work. I downplayed my injuries even after taken to the ER in an ambulance. All I wanted was to get better. Later that night when unable to sleep I decided to contact Ms Hottman. Filing a lawsuit was not on my mind at the time - I ha...d questions regarding many issues which Megan walked me through. She was patient, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I had full confidence in her when the at fault driver's insurance company became difficult, putting us with no alternative but to file suit. Thank you Megan for all you did for me!

I was "Right Hooked" by a motorist while heading straight through a green light. The officer at the scene decided she was going to cite me for the collision at let the driver off scott free. Since I declined a trip to the e.r. there was a gentleman that gave me a ride home in his car and he recommend...ed I contact "The Hottman Law Office", since his wife had just been in a cycling accident herself. I have never had to work with an attorney and very hesitant to contact Megan. While laying in bed that night with serious injuries that I was going to have to pay for myself to treat, an expensive bike that is now no longer rideable and a ticket stating the accident was my fault, I decided to give her an e-mail describing the situation. She immediately responded and agreed that this whole situation I was in was not right and she wanted to help. I decided to work with Megan to get some justice. Megan educated me on everything that I needed to know, and guided me along the way which made everything very easy. The Citation was "thrown out", my injuries have been taken care of and after several months of Megan battling the drivers insurance company I was compensated for my injuries and damages to my bike. I cannot express enough how grateful I am that I was referred to Megan from a stranger who gave me a ride home on the day of the accident. I am so please with Megans dedication to helping cyclists and would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anybody else that is under similar circumstances. Thank You again Megan, Thank You

Hiring Megan after I was nearly killed in a bike/auto accident last summer was the smartest decision I could have made. From our very first phone call to discuss the case through final settlement, I could not have asked for better representation. At our first face to face meeting, Megan promised my w...ife and I that she would treat us just as she would like to be treated as a client. We immediately felt as if we were under Megan's protection and knew with her on our side, everything would turn out all right. Megan has taken care of us as if we were family, making us feel safe, informed, and looked after throughout the entire process. Megan is the rare talent who completely connects and empathizes with her clients while keeping the professional barrier intact. Megan was 110% professional and at the same time gave us a level of service we would have expected from a close friend or family member. She fought hard to get us a maximum payout while also helping us adjust to life after the accident, always encouraging us to focus on the good and to remain strong. We can't thank Megan enough for the help and support she has given us since the accident and subsequent recovery. Megan was the tough, smart, professional attorney we needed to stand up to the insurance companies and their lawyers, going above and beyond to fight for compensation and truly making us feel like we were her #1 priority at all times. Megan is single-handedly redefining what to expect from a personal injury lawyer, or any lawyer for that matter. On top of her kickass legal skills, Megan sincerely cares about her clients and is there to support you through the emotional/physical hurdles of recovery, long after the case has closed. - Seth (Trauma 10 accident victim, July 2013) and Maggie
