How Personal Injury Lawsuits Work in Colorado
Personal injury lawsuits can be complex, especially if there are multiple parties involved. In order to receive compensation, victims must show that another party’s negligence or intentional action caused injury or other damages. This is accomplished by filing a suit and providing evidence that proves the injury resulted from third-party negligence. It is important to have the legal assistance of an experienced attorney who can help guide you through this process.
In Colorado, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. This means you must file a lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident, or the onset of injuries, or risk losing the right to sue and receive compensation for damages altogether. It is important to note that these time frames may vary depending on circumstances, so it’s important to involve an Eagle County personal injury lawyer in the matter as soon as possible.
At Veritas Injury Lawyers, we work to ensure that injury victims receive the compensation they deserve for their injury-related damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Is My Personal Injury Settlement or Verdict Taxable?This depends: Punitive damages are taxable as "other means of income." Interest income comes from judgment interest. Compensation for economic and noneconomic damages is not taxed by the IRS. The settlement or verdict agreement will be clearly stated so the IRS will impose you fairly.
-
What Is the Required Minimum Auto Insurance In Colorado?Legal auto insurance coverage is: $25,000 per injured victim $15,000 minimum in property damage $50,000 per accident, no matter how many victims have been affected Since Colorado is a "fault" state, this means you can file a claim against the defendant driver's insurance carrier. However, if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, there are steps you can take to get around that.
-
If the Accident Was Somewhat My Fault, Can I Still Win My Case?Yes. However, you may not win the maximum possible settlement amount. Under Colorado's fault principles, your damages will be decreased in proportion to your fault. So, if you were 30% at fault, then your damages would be reduced by that amount in the claims. Keep in mind that the court determines fault.
-
How Much Time Do I Have to File an Auto Accident Lawsuit?In most cases, you have around three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. The deadline can be prolonged if you discovered the injury later. If you are planning to sue a government establishment, you may be required to file a claim within a few months after the accident.
