Understanding Car Accident Injury Claims in Colorado
A car accident claim is based on the legal theory of negligence. To successfully recover damages, an injured party must establish the following elements:
- Duty of care – Drivers are required to operate their vehicles in a safe and lawful manner.
- Breach of duty – When a driver fails to meet this standard (e.g., by speeding or texting while driving), they breach that duty.
- Causation – The breach must directly cause the accident and resulting injuries.
- Damages – The victim must have sustained physical, emotional, or financial harm.
Damages in a personal injury claim include:
- Economic losses: medical expenses, property damage, lost wages.
- Non-economic losses: pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life.
- Physical impairment: long-term disability or scarring caused by the crash.
Common Types of Driver Negligence
Motor vehicle accidents are often caused by:
- Distracted driving – Phone use, eating, or other distractions reduce reaction times.
- Driving under the influence – Alcohol or drug impairment increases the likelihood of serious collisions.
- Speeding – Excess speed decreases stopping time and increases impact force.
- Ignoring traffic controls – Failing to yield, stop at signs, or obey lights often leads to preventable crashes.
- Adverse weather conditions – Drivers must adjust for snow, ice, or low visibility, particularly common in Colorado winters.
The Colorado Department of Transportation keeps statistics on crash data and information.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Aurora
Every accident is different, but the following steps can help you know what to do after a car accident. Always protect your health and your legal claim:
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Your health is the top priority. Visit the ER, urgent care, or your physician even if your injuries seem minor. - Document Everything
Take photographs of the crash scene, vehicle damage, and visible injuries. Maintain a journal of your symptoms and how the injury impacts your daily life. - Gather Witness Information
If possible, obtain names and contact information from any bystanders or other drivers involved. - Notify Insurance Companies
Inform both your own insurer and the at-fault driver’s insurer about the crash. If you have medical payments or UM/UIM coverage, you may need to initiate a claim under your own policy. - Contact a Personal Injury Attorney
An experienced lawyer can protect your rights, deal with adjusters, and ensure all evidence is preserved. Our firm offers free consultations, and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Why Insurance Coverage Matters
Your own auto insurance can impact your claim. You may be entitled to:
- Medical Payments Coverage (MedPay): Pays medical bills regardless of fault.
- Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage: Applies if the at-fault driver has no insurance or flees the scene.
- Underinsured Motorist (UIM) Coverage: Covers you when the at-fault driver’s insurance isn’t enough to pay for your damages.
Our firm ensures that these policies are properly used, and we’ll notify your insurer in time to avoid policy violations. If needed, we also pursue UM/UIM claims against your insurance company.
We also help resolve health insurance subrogation issues after settlement.
How Our Car Accident Attorney Helps
Dealing with a car crash claim alone is overwhelming. Insurance companies are skilled at reducing payouts and confusing claimants. Hiring a skilled personal injury attorney helps you:
- Understand your legal options.
- Investigate police reports, medical records, and liability issues.
- Handle all communication with insurers.
- Accurately value your case.
- Negotiate a fair settlement or go to trial if needed.
Many accident victims struggle to afford the medical care they need after a crash. Our Colorado car accident attorney works with trusted medical providers who can offer treatment now and wait for payment until after your case is settled. This ensures you get the care you deserve while we fight for the compensation you need.
What Compensation Can You Recover for a Car Accident in Colorado?
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Property damage
- Medical treatment (past and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
Permanent injury or disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life
We take the time to understand how your injuries affect your personal and professional life so we can clearly present your story to the insurance company or a jury.
Statute of Limitations in Colorado
Under Colorado Revised Statutes 13-80-101(1)(n), car accident victims generally have three years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you could lose your right to pursue compensation—even if the other driver was clearly at fault. Don’t delay—schedule a free consultation today to protect your rights and begin building your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Colorado?
In Colorado, the statute of limitations for motor vehicle accident claims is three years from the date of the crash. If you do not file a lawsuit within this time frame, you may lose your right to pursue compensation. It’s critical to speak with an attorney early to protect your rights and preserve evidence.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Colorado?
Your top priority should be your health. Seek medical treatment right away, even if you feel fine. Then, take the following steps:
- Call the police and file an accident report
- Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries
- Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver
- Collect names of any witnesses
- Contact a personal injury attorney to guide your next steps
What compensation can I recover after a car accident?
If law enforcement fails to provide a Miranda warning during a custodial interrogation, statements made may be inadmissible in court. However, this doesn’t automatically dismiss the case. An attorney can assess how this impacts your defense
What are common defenses against criminal charges in Colorado?
You may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost income and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
Every case is unique, and we work with medical and financial experts to calculate the full impact of your injury.
Should I talk to the insurance company after the accident?
You should notify your insurance company of the crash, but avoid giving recorded statements or accepting settlement offers without legal advice. Insurance adjusters may try to downplay your injuries or shift blame. Let your attorney handle communications to protect your claim.
Do I still have a case if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes. Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover compensation. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% at fault, your award would be reduced by 20%.
What is uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage and how does it help?
UM/UIM coverage protects you if the at-fault driver has no insurance or doesn’t have enough coverage to fully compensate your damages. If your own policy includes UM/UIM, it can provide essential benefits that help cover your medical bills and other losses.
Do I have to pay anything upfront to hire your law firm?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict, and we offer lower rates than many large advertising firms.
