Under Colorado law, the person who causes a car accident is financially responsible for all of the damages related to the accident. Damages are typically broken down into property damage and bodily injury. From there, bodily injury breaks down further into two categories: economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages, of course, mean things that you can count: medical bills, lost wages, and expenses related to future medical care. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of one’s life, physical impairment, etc.

One of the most stressful things about being in an accident is having to deal with the insurance company in order to get reimbursed for your medical bills and the pain and suffering you’ve been through. Sometimes there is only one insurance company to deal with, but there very well may be more than one. How do you know who to trust? What if you say the wrong thing to the insurance adjustor? And how do you know whether what the insurance company offers you is fair compensation?
These are all valid questions, and the first thing you should know is that the insurance company is not on your side, despite what you may think.
When you talk to an insurance adjustor, they will sound as if they have your best interest at heart, but in reality, they are trained and skilled in the art of negotiation. Their main job is to make sure that they pay out as little in insurance claims as possible for the insurance company they work for, and this is directly opposed to your goal of receiving the fair amount of compensation you deserve. That’s why it’s a good idea to have an attorney on your side who is well-versed in dealing with insurance companies and will make sure that you receive every dollar you’re entitled to. Not only will this help reduce the stress you’re under, but it will also help you recover faster when this load is taken off your back.
The compensation that you’re entitled to depends on the injuries you’ve sustained, how severe they are, how long it will take you to heal, as well as how much damage was done to your vehicle in the accident.
At Marathon Law, we know you just want to get your life back – the life you had before the accident happened. That’s why we’ll research your accident and the situation surrounding it, file all the necessary paperwork for the insurance claim, talk to witnesses, obtain your police report, and ultimately negotiate with the insurance companies involved to make sure that you receive the compensation that you deserve. And if we can’t come to an agreement with the insurance company, we’ll go to trial to defend your right to compensation.
There are several injuries that are a common result of being involved in a car accident. The injuries can range from minor to severe, or even life-threatening. When you consider the extreme forces that are involved in an accident, especially at high speeds, it’s no wonder that the human body ends up with injuries that take a lot of time, energy, and medical treatments to heal properly.
Some of the more common auto accident injuries include:
