Case Number: 1:23-CV-3060
Judge: Nina Y. Wang
Court: United States District Court for the District of Colorado (Denver County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: Bethany Anne Pribila and Timothy L. Fields
Defendant's Attorney: Tyler Douglas Olson and Seth Adam Rider
Description: Denver, Colorado personal injury lawyers Bethany Anne Pribila and Timothy L. Fields represented the Plaintiff who sued on an auto negligence theory.
The following five elements may typically be required to prove negligence: The existence of a legal duty that the defendant owed the plaintiff, Defendant’s breach of that duty, Harm to the plaintiff, Defendant’s actions are the proximate cause of harm to the plaintiff, and Defendant’s actions are the cause-in-fact of harm to the plaintiff.
Colorado state law uses 50% modified comparative negligence. That means that if a driver is over 50% at fault for an accident, they give up their right to receive compensation for damages. Other states throughout the country have similar regulations in place regarding traffic accidents.
Outcome: Settled for an undisclosed sum and dismissed with prejudice.
