Auto, Truck, or Motorcycle Accidents
If you, a friend, or relative was involved in a car, truck
or motorcycle accident and you were injured and you believe
it was another person's fault, you are entitled to recover
damages for personal injuries, pain and suffering, lost income,
out-of-pocket expenses, physical impairment, scarring, and
inconvenience.
There is a 3-year statute of limitations in Colorado meaning
that if you were to file suit, you would need to do so within
3 years from the date of the accident or you would be forever
barred from bringing a cause of action
With auto and truck accidents, regardless of who is at fault,
you are entitled to medical costs and expenses from your own
insurance company up to $50,000 and up to 5 years, whichever
occurs first. In addition, you are entitled to $50,000 for
rehabilitation expenses for up to 10 years from the date of
the accident. Other benefits to which you are entitled from
your own insurance company include $25.00 per day for essential
services meaning that due to your injures, you were unable
to do day-to-day tasks that include but are not limited to
grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning and doing the laundry.
In addition, you are entitled to lost wages up to 52 weeks
from the date of the accident up to a maximum of $400 per
week. Any excess lost wages you recover from the defendant.
