If you, a friend, or relative was involved in a car, truck or motorcycle accident and you were injured and you believe it was another person's fault, you are entitled to recover damages for personal injury, pain and suffering, lost income, out-of-pocket expenses, physical impairment, scarring, and inconvenience.
There is a 3-year statute of limitations in Colorado meaning that if you were to file suit, you would need to do so within 3 years from the date of the accident or you would be forever barred from bringing a cause of action.
With auto and truck accidents, regardless of who is at fault, you are entitled to medical costs and expenses from your own insurance company up to $50,000 and up to 5 years, whichever occurs first. In addition, you are entitled to $50,000 for rehabilitation expenses for up to 10 years from the date of the accident. Other benefits to which you are entitled from your own insurance company include $25.00 per day for essential services meaning that due to your injures, you were unable to do day-to-day tasks that include but are not limited to grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning and doing the laundry. In addition, you are entitled to lost wages up to 52 weeks from the date of the accident up to a maximum of $400 per week. Any excess lost wages you recover from the defendant.
