When alcohol is a factor, Colorado law may treat the impaired driver as negligent per se under C.R.S. Section 42-4-1301. This can significantly affect liability determinations.
Bachus & Schanker - DUI Accident ClaimsDrug Involvement Reported
Driving under the influence of drugs, including marijuana, is prohibited under C.R.S. Section 42-4-1301(1)(f). Impairment can establish fault in civil claims.
CO Revised Statutes Section 42-4-1301T-Bone / Broadside Collision Pattern
Broadside collisions frequently involve right-of-way violations at intersections. Fault often depends on which driver had the green light or right of way.
Fuicelli & Lee - T-Bone AccidentsColorado 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.
