Should I File An Insurance Claim Against The Other Driver Who Caused My Injuries
Many people do not want to consider themselves someone who would sue another person. We understand that feeling. However, auto insurance exists and is required by law to pay for these injuries in these very situations.
If another driver injures you, you will likely have medical expenses. You could also have lost wages if you cannot go to work. You could have property damage.
Why should you pay for these things out of your own pocket when you were not the driver who caused the accident? Why should you pay when that driver has insurance to pay for these costs?
A personal injury case starts by making a claim against the “at-fault” driver’s insurance company. While you can make a claim on your own, this is best handled by a personal injury attorney. This is true because the insurance company will try and pay you the minimum amount possible.
Hiring a Colorado Springs personal injury attorney to bring a claim on your behalf leads to a larger settlement. On average, an attorney can get a settlement that is 3-times greater than settlements you may receive on your own.
Who’s At-fault In A Motorcycle Accident?
In a personal injury lawsuit, a lawyer sues for “negligence.” Negligence means that someone had a duty to act a certain way. That person failed to act in accordance with that duty, and as a result, they caused harm to someone else.
One of the most often disputed issues in a motorcycle crash case is “who is at-fault for the accident.” Insurance companies often argue that their client was not the one responsible for causing the crash. So for example, they may argue that the crash occurred because you rode your bike over the centerline.

Modified Comparative Negligence in a Motorcycle Accident Case
In determining who is at-fault in a personal injury case, Colorado uses a system called “modified comparative negligence.” This means that the person bringing the injury claim needs to show that they are less than 50% at-fault. A personal injury lawyer can help establish this through investigations, accurate fault assessment and negotiations.
The court may reduce the plaintiff’s damages in proportion with their amount of fault. This is true even if the plaintiff is less than 50% at-fault.
