Recovering Damages
Calculating the damages from an accident is no simple task. Injuries can constitute a wide range of definitions of harm- no matter if the harm suffered is physical, mental, or emotional. If someone has fallen victim to one of these injuries, they could be eligible to receive damages. Damages is a legal term that’s used to define the amount of money that’s due to the plaintiff to compensate them for their injuries.
Damages can be due to pain and suffering, loss of wages, loss of consortium, or more. Loss of consortium is a type of harm that’s incurred when someone loses a member of their family. Under Colorado Revised Statutes section 14-2-209, spouses of a victim of a personal injury or an accident are eligible to recover damages.
Common Types of Accidents
Accidents occur every day for a variety of reasons. People can act recklessly or carelessly- otherwise known as negligently. There’s an important distinction between the two legal terms. Careless actions result when a person isn’t paying attention or thinking- there is no intent to harm another person. Reckless actions are different as in order to be reckless, the person may know that the behavior they’re engaging in is either illegal or dangerous.
Comparative Negligence
Whether an accident is due to careless or reckless behavior, the end result is still the same: someone gets hurt and suffers the consequences. Most personal injury and accident claims are formed under a legal model called comparative negligence. Colorado Revised Statutes Section 13-21-1111 defines that someone can be found to be somewhat liable for the accident in the claim.
If, however, there is a reasonable examination of all evidence and testimony, a judge decides that they were less negligent than the other party, the plaintiff will still be eligible for compensation for the injuries they endured. It can be extremely important to have an experienced Thornton personal injury lawyer on your side as an advocate and advisor during this process.

I’m in the hospital can you come to me?

Can I still recover if I caused an accident?
Colorado has a comparative fault rule – If you were partially responsible for the accident, you may only collect damages for the percentage of fault the other driver had for the accident. In Colorado, an injured party that is 50% or more responsible for an accident is barred from recovering. In cases where fault is not clear or questionable, it is important to have the attorneys at Alhasoon, Glidden and Glidden on your side.
