About Kyle Bachus

From Kyle's interview for the Masters of Personal Injury series on ReelLawyers.com. Kyle has also been recognized as an AV-rated attorney and “pre-eminent lawyer”, the highest rating assigned to individual attorneys by Martindale Hubbell, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious attorney rating service. Its ratings are assigned according to peer review and attest to a lawyer’s legal ability and professional ethics. According to Martindale Hubbell, an AV peer review rating is a certification that marks a significant accomplishment given by a lawyer’s peers ranking him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.

Plaintiff-Only. Families-Only. 30 Years on One Side of the Courtroom. From Kyle's interview for the Masters of Personal Injury series on ReelLawyers.com.

For more than 30 years, Kyle Bachus has devoted his career to representing injured people and families who have lost loved ones. He does not represent insurance companies. He does not represent large corporations.

His entire professional life has been spent standing across the aisle from insurers and corporate defendants, fighting for families facing permanent and life-altering harm. When a fatal crash, catastrophic injury, or preventable death turns a family’s world upside down, families across Colorado seek out Kyle because helping people through exactly that crisis is his life’s work. Kyle’s authority is not grounded in slogans but in Colorado law itself.
