Colorado Springs Personal Injury Attorneys

Personal Injury Claims in Colorado Springs

Each state has its own laws that apply to personal injury claims, and Colorado is no exception. Specifically, Colorado imposes certain time limits for filing an injury-related case in court. An injured automobile accident victim normally has just three years, from the date of the injury, to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Colorado also utilizes a modified comparative fault rule. This applies when an injured person is partially responsible for the accident that caused the injury. A plaintiff’s damages could be reduced if they are found at least partially responsible for the incident. For this reason alone, it is important to have an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side.

Recoverable Damages

In a personal injury lawsuit, both present and future economic losses may be recovered, as well as certain types of non-economic losses. Medical expenses, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress are among the most common types of losses.

In some cases, punitive damages may also be recovered. This is an additional monetary award designed to punish the defendant for their behavior. These awards can be very high compared to a victim’s losses.

If you have been injured because of another person or company’s negligence, you have a right to seek compensation for your injuries. Our experienced Colorado Springs personal injury law firm can help you and your family after a devastating accident.
