Is Colorado a No-Fault State?
No, Colorado is not a no-fault state, and drivers can take civil action against liable parties after an auto accident. It is also important to note that you can pursue action regardless of the severity of your injuries.
Injuries Commonly Sustained in Auto Accidents
Car accidents can cause an array of injuries, both minor and serious. Some of the most common injuries sustained in automobile accidents include:
- Broken bones
- Lacerations and bruises
- Soft tissue damage (sprains and strains)
- Head and neck trauma
- Internal organ damage
- Burns
- Spinal cord damage or paralysis
- Emotional distress and/or PTSD
Colorado’s Modified Comparative Negligence Law
Colorado follows modified comparative negligence laws. Thus, when an accident occurs, the insurance company will review the circumstances of the accident to determine the amount of fault that all parties involved have.
While a person can still pursue a claim if they are partially at fault for an accident, their damages will be reduced by their percentage of fault. For instance, if you are involved in an accident and were speeding, you may be assigned 10% of fault for the accident and your damages. If your damages were calculated to be $100,000, your settlement would be reduced by $10,000, and you would only receive $90,000 should you win your case.
