Financial Compensation Recoverable After an Accident
Car accident injuries are often serious, resulting in the need for extensive medical treatment, prolonged time off work, and lasting emotional trauma. These losses can interfere with your health and future. Through a personal injury claim, you can seek compensation that fairly acknowledges the ordeal you’ve gone through, as well as accounts for losses that you can reasonably anticipate in the future.
Damages you may be able to recover after a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence may include:
- Medical bills for hospital stays, emergency room treatment, doctor appointments, physical therapy, and other medical treatment
- Long-term care for assistance with activities of daily living
- Future medical expenses (head trauma, spinal cord complications, etc…)
- Home modifications if you have suffered a permanent disability
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Decreased quality of life
- Loss of consortium
Our experienced attorneys can work tirelessly to prepare your claim for compensation.
Proving Fault in a Car Accident
Colorado is an at-fault state for car accidents, so the driver at fault for the accident is responsible for paying for the damage they cause. In order to recover compensation for your losses, you will need to show the other driver did something wrong or failed to do something that caused the accident. Our personal injury lawyers can help with this responsibility by:
- Reviewing accident reports and pointing to details that indicate the other driver may be at fault
- Collecting medical records that show your injuries were related to the accident and that may indicate your position in the vehicle at the time of impact
- Interviewing witnesses who can explain what they saw leading up to the auto accident
- Obtaining video footage from traffic cameras, dashcams, and surveillance cameras
- Consulting with expert witnesses, such as accident reconstruction experts who can use objective data to make visual presentations of how the accident likely occurred
In the event that more than one person’s negligence contributed to the accident, Colorado uses a modified comparative negligence system. Under this system, you can seek compensation if you were partially responsible for the accident as long as you are not 50% or more at fault for the crash. However, your compensation is reduced by your degree of fault.
