There are a number of different situations that can be grounds for a personal injury claim in Colorado: car accidents, construction site accidents, bicycle accidents, and slip-and-fall injuries, to name a few. A Colorado personal injury attorney can provide more information. Typically, a valid claim exists if the following criteria are met:
Someone owed you a duty of care (examples include another driver on the road, your employer, or a store owner).
The at-fault party did not exercise reasonable care. An example would be another driver causing an accident because they were speeding or driving under the influence (DUI).
This negligence (not exercising reasonable care) directly resulted in you being injured.
