Types of Personal Injury Damages in Colorado
Before pursuing a personal injury claim it is important to understand the types of damages that are recoverable.
In Colorado, those who have been injured in accidents can seek:
Economic Damages: These include medical bills, lost wages, child and home care, and even funeral expenses (in cases of wrongful death).
Non-Economic Damages: Loss of enjoyment of life, pain, suffering, and mental duress fall under this category. Although they are difficult to quantify, an experienced attorney can make a compelling case for why a party ought to receive damages for these things.
Damages for Physical Impairment: These involve physical conditions or disabilities that alter the way a person lives or works. Colorado courts calculate and award damages for these things separately from economic and non-economic damages.
Punitive Damages: If a judge determines that the defending party acted fraudulently or with intentional malice, they can award punitive damages.
