Colorado follows the law of modified comparative negligence — which means the compensation you may be eligible for as the victim could be reduced by the percentage of blame you hold for causing the accident.
Additionally, under this rule, if a victim is 50% responsible or more, they cannot seek compensation.
It is therefore very important to be able to demonstrate that you did not cause the accident. If you did contribute to the cause, your claim will need to be supported by evidence demonstrating that your percentage of fault for the incident was low.
Insurance companies will try to place blame for an accident on the person making the claim to prevent them from seeking as much — or any — compensation, so you need a knowledgeable, compassionate team of lawyers on your side to defend your claim. Heuser & Heuser, LLP can help.
