What Is the Deadline for Filing a Personal Injury Claim?

In Colorado, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident or fatality (C.R.S. § 13-80-102). However, the statute for injuries arising from the use or operation of a motor vehicle is extended to three years (C.R.S. § 13-80-101). 

Seeking legal guidance is paramount to filing a timely claim within the correct statute. Our firm can evaluate the details of your case to determine the appropriate deadline and help you navigate the claims process efficiently. 

What Compensation Is Recoverable in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

There are two primary types of recoverable compensation in personal injury cases:  

Economic Damages

Economic damages compensate for direct financial losses, such as medical bills, treatment and surgery expenses, rehabilitation costs, hospital stays, lost income, loss of earning capacity, and property damage.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages compensate for indirect losses, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium or companionship, and permanent scarring or disfigurement.

How Long Does It Take to Settle a Personal Injury Case? 

The timeline for settling a personal injury case can vary widely depending on the complexity of the accident, the severity of injuries, and whether liability is disputed. Simple claims may be resolved in a few months, while more complex cases involving serious injuries, multiple parties, or disputes over fault can take a year or longer.

At Justice Now Injury Lawyers, we work to streamline proceedings by gathering evidence, communicating with insurance companies, and guiding clients through each step of the claims process. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to represent you at trial to pursue compensation through litigation. 

How Is Fault Determined in Multi-Vehicle Accidents?

Multi-vehicle accidents are common on high-speed interstates like I-70 and I-25, especially during unpredictable mountain weather. Determining fault can be complicated due to the multiple parties involved and Colorado’s modified comparative negligence rule, which allows each driver to be assigned a percentage of fault.

Investigators, insurance companies, and courts typically review various types of evidence in chain-reaction collisions to determine fault based on negligence, such as police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, medical records, and physical evidence from the scene. 

If you were involved in a multi-vehicle collision, our firm can carefully investigate the accident, collect critical evidence, and help you understand how fault may be allocated in your case while protecting your rights at each stage of the process. 

I Was in a Car Accident at East Orchard Road & South Buckley Road. Can I Recover Compensation if I Was Partially at Fault?

Colorado uses a modified comparative negligence system, which allows plaintiffs to recover compensation in personal injury claims as long as their fault is less than 50%. If your share of the liability is 50% or more, you will be ineligible to seek damages. 

However, any compensation awarded will be reduced by your proportion of the fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault for an accident totaling $30,000 in damages, you may only be entitled to $24,000 ($6,000 less than the original claim value). 

Insurance claims will often place undue blame on victims in an effort to deny or minimize payouts. Our attorney can uphold your rights throughout the legal process and negotiate a fair settlement that accurately reflects the full extent of your losses.

The value of a personal injury case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and any long-term impacts on your quality of life. Our lawyer is well versed in these legal nuances to accurately calculate damages and advocate for a settlement that accounts for all losses resulting from the accident, from psychological trauma to healthcare costs. 

Importance of Working with a Personal Injury Lawyer

Securing legal representation can mean the difference between recovering a full settlement and walking away with less than you deserve, especially while recovering from a wrongful injury. Below are some important ways that our award-winning attorney can assist you:
