What is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law is the area of law that gives injured persons the right to seek compensation from the person who caused their injury. The most common ground for a personal injury claim is negligence. Under the legal principle of negligence, a person or business entity can be held responsible for any harm to others caused by their failure to act according to the required standard of behavior in the same situation.
For an injured person to be entitled to compensation for their injury, they must prove all the elements of their claim. In a claim based on negligence, the victim must prove that:
- The defendant owed the victim a duty of care
- The defendant breached their duty of care by failing to act according to the expected standard of care
- The defendant’s breach of their duty of care caused the victim’s injury
- The victim suffered actual damages
For the victim’s claim to succeed, they must prove all the elements of the claim. If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, you would need to prove that the property owner failed to warn you about hazards and that this negligence directly caused your injuries.
Having an experienced Greeley personal injury lawyer by your side goes a long way in protecting your claim and achieving the best outcome possible in your case.

Financial Compensation You Can Recover from a Greeley Personal Injury Case
The primary function of personal injury cases is to award the victim monetary compensation to help pay for the damages the accident caused. A successful personal injury claim can provide you with money for your economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include tangible and financial losses tied directly to your injuries, such as:
- Payment of medical bills for emergency room treatment, hospital stays, and doctor visits
- Ongoing medical treatment, including rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Nursing or long-term care
- Future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Costs to repair or replace your damaged vehicle or other personal property
Non-economic damages provide compensation for the less tangible but just as real losses you experience because of the accident and your injuries, including:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Discomfort
- Emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium or the negative impact on relationships
Who Is Responsible for My Injuries
In a personal injury case, the party found responsible for your injuries pays the damages. Most personal injury cases are based on the legal concept of negligence, meaning that the defendant or responsible party:
- Owed you a duty of care
- Breached that duty
- Caused you harm
Under this legal theory, various parties could potentially be responsible for your injuries, including the following:
- Carless motorists
- Truck drivers or trucking companies
- Product manufacturers
- Dog owners
- Property owners
- Employers (who are generally responsible for the negligent actions of their employees)
- Government agencies, if government properties or employees were involved
Our experienced legal team can conduct a thorough investigation to determine the party or parties responsible for your injuries.
Deadline to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Colorado
In Colorado, the statute of limitations dictates the time limit for filing a lawsuit. Most personal injury lawsuits must be filed two years from the date of the accident. However, the deadline is three years for motor vehicle accidents. If you did not immediately discover your injuries, the statute of limitations may begin when you discovered them.
If you miss the deadline to file your personal injury lawsuit, you can be barred from filing your case. Protect your rights by reaching out to an experienced personal injury lawyer today.
