Liability Context

General information based on this crash's reported factors and Colorado law

Rear-End Collision Pattern

In Colorado, the trailing driver in a rear-end collision is often presumed to be at fault for following too closely, though this presumption can be rebutted with evidence.

Springs Law Group - Rear-End Collisions

Work Zone Crash

Fines and penalties are typically doubled for violations in active work zones under Colorado law. Work zone liability may extend to contractors or government entities.

Colorado Comparative Fault

Colorado follows a modified comparative fault rule (C.R.S. Section 13-21-111). If you were partially at fault, your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Colorado is generally 3 years from the date of the accident.
