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.
