Tort law is a general category that includes a wide range of personal injury claims. Car accidents, pedestrian versus automobile, motorcycle accidents, and truck accidents comprise the majority of personal injury claims. While some torts, such as assault, are crimes also punishable by imprisonment. Yet tort law has another very important purpose: to provide monetary relief to the victim for any losses incurred.

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.
