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

Hit-and-Run Reported

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

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.
