Compensation in a Colorado Springs Personal Injury Case

Monetary compensation can help you start to put your life back together after an accident and serious injury. We hope to secure a maximized amount of compensation for you to recover, so you feel as close to “back to normal” as possible.

Three types of compensation might be pursuable in your personal injury case filed in Colorado Springs, including:

• Economic: Tangible financial losses related to an injury are considered economic damages. The most common examples of economic damages are medical treatment costs (past and future), past lost wages, and future lost income.
• Non-economic: Intangible yet devastating losses related to an injury are considered non-economic damages. The most common examples of non-economic damages are pain, suffering, and hardships caused by new disability, including the lessened enjoyment of life going forward.
• Punitive: In rare cases, a court might approve punitive damages, which are used to punish the liable party for egregious wrongdoing or negligence, rather than compensate the plaintiff for a loss. Punitive damages are not available in all cases, so they might not apply to your case. To learn more, be sure to ask our attorneys about what compensation might be pursuable in your personal injury claim.

Should You Accept an Insurance Settlement?

You should never sign an insurance settlement offer without first allowing our Colorado Springs personal injury attorneys to review it. Insurance companies are known for often trying to convince injured parties to sign a lowball settlement that will barely provide a portion of the compensation they need to recover. Don’t let this happen to you. Once you hire our legal team, we can instruct any relevant insurance company to only talk to us going forward, so you don’t have to worry about being influenced into accepting an unfair offer.

Colorado Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims

Colorado uses a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. The two-year statute of limitations usually starts on the day of the accident or injury, or the date when the injury reasonably should have become noticeable. When the statute expires, you will not be permitted to use Colorado’s civil court system to pursue compensation from a liable party, so it’s important to not miss this deadline.
