Motor Vehicle Accidents: Navigating Colorado Law with Watkins Law, LLC

Motor vehicle accidents can be life-altering, leaving victims with physical injuries, emotional distress, and financial burdens. At Watkins Law, LLC in Denver, Colorado, we understand the challenges you face after a car accident, and we are here to guide you through the legal process with compassion and expertise.

Understanding Colorado’s Car Accident Laws

In Colorado, the legal framework for motor vehicle accidents is shaped by its status as a “fault” state. This means that the driver responsible for the accident—or their insurance company—is liable for damages. As a victim, you have the right to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.

Colorado law requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance, which includes:

$50,000 per accident for bodily injury
$50,000 per accident for bodily injury
$50,000 per accident for bodily injury
If your damages exceed these limits, pursuing a personal injury claim may be your best option.

Steps to Take After an Accident

The moments after an accident are critical for protecting your legal rights. Here’s what to do:

  • Ensure Safety: Move to a safe location if possible and call 911.
  • Document the Scene: Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries.
  • Exchange Information: Collect the other driver’s name, contact information, and insurance details.
  • Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel fine, see a doctor to document any injuries.
