How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case?

Sometimes, accidents happen, and it’s nobody’s fault. For example, if you trip over your own 2 feet, your slip-and-fall is nothing more than bad luck. But if you fall down because the property owner didn’t fix or warn you about a dangerous condition, you might have a personal injury claim.

Essentially, you might have a personal injury case if you were hurt because of something that someone did or failed to do. This can include anything from a driver rear-ending you at a stop sign on Havana Street to a dog owner failing to control their dog and letting it bite you at Cherry Creek State Park. The key is that you were hurt because of their action or inaction.

Most personal injury cases are caused by negligence. A person is negligent when they fail to act in a way that a reasonably careful person would act in the same situation. In Colorado, the injured party (plaintiff) has the burden of proving that the at-fault party (defendant) was negligent.

To prove negligence, the plaintiff will have to introduce evidence of the following:

1. The defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff.
2. The defendant violated that duty of care.
3. The defendant’s violation was the cause of the plaintiff’s injury.
4. The plaintiff suffered losses.

The plaintiff has to prove negligence by a preponderance of the evidence. This means demonstrating that it is more likely than not that the defendant was negligent (i.e., by 51%). Preponderance of the evidence is a much lower standard than beyond a reasonable doubt, which is used in criminal cases.

Negligence is often straightforward, such as in the rear-end accident example. However, there are cases where negligence is a bit more complicated. This includes situations where the plaintiff also bears some responsibility for the accident.

Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence in these cases. With comparative negligence, a plaintiff can still file a lawsuit to recover money for their losses even if they were partially responsible for the accident. As long as they were less than 50% at fault, they can pursue a legal claim. The plaintiff’s total compensation will then be reduced by their percentage of fault.

For example, consider a case where a driver merges onto E. 6th Avenue without waiting to make sure that the lane is clear.  A second driver changes lanes without using their turn signal just before the merge point. The two cars collide.

In this case, the first driver failed to yield to traffic, but the second driver failed to use their turn signal. The first driver sues the second for $100,000 in damages. If the jury finds that the first driver was 45% at fault, then their recovery would be $65,000 ($100,000 minus 45%). However, if the jury finds that the first driver was 50% or more at fault, then they cannot sue the second driver.

Insurance companies are fully aware of these laws and often use them to their advantage. If you tell the other driver that you’re sorry after an accident, for example, the insurance company might use that fact to claim that you acknowledged responsibility. In this way, they can potentially reduce the amount of money that they have to pay you for your claim.

Shady insurance company tactics like this can drastically reduce the amount of money that you recover for your claim. The best way to protect yourself and to get full compensation for your injuries is by working with an Aurora personal injury attorney. Our team will work with you to help you get maximum compensation for your losses.

In addition to negligence, you can also file a personal injury lawsuit against someone who intentionally or recklessly hurts you. This can include situations like a drunk driving accident or nursing home abuse. Even if there are no criminal charges pending, you can still pursue legal action to recover financial compensation for your injuries.

You also might not have to prove negligence if the defendant violated a law or statute in causing you harm. This is known as negligence per se. If you can establish the following, then negligence will be presumed:

1. The defendant violated a law or regulation.
2. This law was created to prevent the type of injury that you suffered.
3. You are within the class of people who were meant to be protected by this law
4. The defendant’s violation of this law caused your injuries.

For example, Colorado crosswalk laws are meant to protect pedestrians as they cross the street. If a driver causes a pedestrian accident by failing to yield to a person in the crosswalk, then they would be considered negligent per se. The burden would be on that driver to prove that they were not negligent.

Negligence isn’t always clear-cut. If you have questions about whether you have a potential lawsuit, you can reach out at any time. Our Aurora personal injury attorneys offer free initial consultations to all prospective clients. We can help you understand your rights and your options for pursuing a claim.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

After a serious injury, you may be entitled to compensation for more than just your hospital bills. A fair settlement should reflect the injury’s full financial, physical, and emotional impact on your life.

Our personal injury lawyers help clients recover:

• Medical expenses — UCHealth ER visits, surgery, physical therapy, medications, and future care.
• Lost wages — for time missed from work during recovery.
• Loss of earning capacity — if you can’t return to your job or industry.
• Pain and suffering — for physical pain and emotional distress.
• Property damage — vehicle repairs or other property loss related to the incident.
• Loss of consortium — in cases involving a profound impact on family relationships.
• Wrongful death damages — funeral costs, lost future income, and support for surviving family members.

We work with medical providers, economic experts, and vocational specialists to document the full value of your claim.

In some cases, you might also be able to recover punitive damages. This category of compensation is a bit different because it punishes someone who acted intentionally or recklessly instead of compensating an injury victim. For example, if a drunk driver causes an accident, then they may be liable for punitive damages.

In Colorado, there are caps on damage awards in personal injury cases. These caps limit the amount of money that a person may be able to recover for their losses. Colorado damage caps include:

• $1,500,000 for pain and suffering damages, unless there is a permanent physical impairment. If a person has a permanent physical impairment, there is no cap on pain and suffering losses.
• $2,125,000 for pain and suffering in wrongful death cases, except in cases involving a felonious killing (such as murder). For these cases, there is no cap on pain and suffering damages.
• Punitive damages cannot exceed actual or compensatory damages (the total of all economic and non-economic losses). However, if the defendant continues their “bad conduct” or acts in a way that has aggravated the victim’s injuries, then punitive damages can be up to 3 times compensatory damages.

Studies show that people who have an attorney recover significantly more in personal injury cases compared to people who represent themselves.
