If you were injured in a rear-end crash and another party was at fault, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries. The type and amount of damages available to you will depend on the injuries you sustained and the circumstances of your case.
In Colorado, the two main categories of damages available in a rear-end crash case are economic and non-economic damages.
ECONOMIC DAMAGES
Economic damages relate to the financial consequences of an accident or injury. These are the most straightforward types of damages to calculate and identify. Economic damages include past and future medical costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, property damage, and out-of-pocket expenses.
NON-ECONOMIC DAMAGES
Non-economic damages, on the other hand, relate to intangible consequences of an accident or injury, such as its emotional or psychological side effects. These damages are not directly related to a financial transaction and can be harder to calculate and identify.
