Defendant's Attorney: Brian D. Kennedy

Description: Denver, Colorado personal injury truck wreck lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendants on auto negligence theories claiming to have suffered $75,000 in damages and/or injuries as a direct result of a car truck accident caused by Kenneth Kreusel.

This case was filed in the Larimer County District Court, 2022CV30693, and was removed to federal court by the Defendants.

"Colorado's auto negligence law follows a different approach compared to Virginia's strict contributory negligence. Here's a breakdown of the key points:

Modified Comparative Negligence: Colorado operates under a 50% modified comparative negligence system. This means that even if you contributed to the accident, you can still recover damages, as long as your fault is less than 50%. However, your damages will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault. For example, if you were found to be 20% at fault for a crash, your damage award would be reduced by 20%.

Burden of Proof: Similar to Virginia, the burden of proof lies with you to demonstrate the other driver's negligence and its connection to your injuries.

Damages: If you successfully prove the other driver's negligence and your own fault is less than 50%, you may be entitled to various types of damages, including:

Medical expenses: Costs of past and future medical treatment related to the accident.
Lost wages: Compensation for income lost due to the accident and your recovery.
Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical and emotional pain caused by the accident.
Property damage: Costs to repair or replace your vehicle or other damaged property.

Insurance Claims: Similar to Virginia, you'll typically file a claim with your own insurance company first. However, with Colorado's comparative negligence system, the fault percentages play a crucial role in determining how your claim will be handled.

Seeking Legal Help: Consulting with an experienced personal injury attorney is still highly recommended, especially for complex cases or those involving significant injuries. An attorney can help you navigate the legal process, negotiate with insurance companies, and maximize your potential compensation."
