What Types of Compensation Can I Recover for a Personal Injury Claim?

Personal injury compensation is designed to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially. In Colorado, victims of negligence may be entitled to:

Medical Expenses: Hospital bills, surgical procedures, rehabilitation, medication, and ongoing care.
Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost during recovery and any diminished earning capacity in the future.
Pain and Suffering: For the physical pain and emotional trauma you've endured.
Property Damage: Reimbursement for repair or replacement of property damaged in the incident.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life: When injuries interfere with your ability to engage in hobbies or daily activities.
Punitive Damages: In cases involving egregious conduct, these damages can be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter future misconduct.

What Counts as Personal Injury?

Personal injury occurs specifically when a person has suffered some form of injury because of the negligence or recklessness of a business, government entity, or individual. The injury may be physical, psychological, or both. It is not enough to be hurt by someone - there must be negligence or worse for you to file a claim for compensation.

Negligence is also called a "breach" of the duty of care. Every person has a duty of care to others: the responsibility to avoid causing harm to another. For example, imagine that a homeowner spills some liquid on his kitchen floor and does not clean it up. If a guest to the home slips and falls, seriously injuring herself, she can hold him liable. Even though the homeowner may not have meant to hurt anyone, his actions were not those of a reasonable person in the same situation. The same is true for businesses, though there are separate, higher standards in play for certain services and goods offered to the public.

If you suspect you have a claim, do not delay - each state has laws that limit the amount of time you have to file a personal injury claim, called statutes of limitations. The sooner we can start our investigation and gather evidence in your Denver personal injury case, the better.

Understanding Negligence in Personal Injury Cases

At the heart of every personal injury claim is the legal concept of negligence. To successfully recover damages, you must prove:

Duty of Care: The defendant owed you a duty to act reasonably under the circumstances.
Breach of Duty: The defendant failed to uphold that duty through action or inaction.
Causation: The breach of duty is a cause of your injury.
Damages: You suffered actual losses (medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering).

Colorado uses a modified comparative negligence standard. This means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, as long as your fault is not greater than the defendant's.

You Have Limited Time! Colorado Statute of Limitations

Time is critical in a personal injury case. In Colorado, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. For car accidents, it is three years. If the claim involves a government entity, the timeline may be even shorter.

Failing to file within this window can permanently bar you from recovering compensation. That’s why it’s crucial to consult an experienced Denver personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
