In the state of Colorado, comparative negligence is used to determine who qualifies for compensation in an accident case.
The concept of comparative negligence states that the court can reduce your damages based on the percentage of blame they assign to you. It is crucial to understand that you can still be eligible for compensation even if you were partially to blame.
However, comparative negligence may render you ineligible for damages if you were more than 50% to blame (you were the primary at-fault party). If you are unsure how to prove that you were not at fault for an accident – or that you were only partially at fault – our Denver motorcycle accident attorneys can help.
