Liability Context
General information based on this crash's reported factors and Colorado law
Alcohol Involvement Reported
When alcohol is a factor, Colorado law may treat the impaired driver as negligent per se under C.R.S. § 42-4-1301. This can significantly affect liability determinations.
Bachus & Schanker — DUI Accident ClaimsRear-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 CollisionsColorado Comparative Fault
Colorado follows a modified comparative fault rule (C.R.S. § 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.
