“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “If I was partly at fault for my accident, can I still seek compensation?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Colorado recognizes “comparative negligence” laws, which means that your amount of fault for the accident will matter. While you may still be able to seek compensation for your injury, that compensation could be reduced by the percentage of fault you’re found to hold.

For example, if you slipped and fell, but you were texting at the time, you may be assigned 15 percent of the blame. That means you’ll only receive 85 percent of your compensation. Worse, if you’re more at fault than the other person, your claim could be dismissed altogether.”

“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “When you’re injured, it’s not always clear who was responsible for the injury. In some cases, you might even know who caused the injuries, but you might not be sure who’s legally liable for your losses. That’s where your injury lawyer comes in. We will begin by gathering and examining evidence. Then, we’ll put our legal knowledge to use to help us identify all the parties who might owe you compensation.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Someone intentionally injured me and is facing criminal charges. Can I still sue?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “While you’ll still be able to sue, you’ll need to remember that there is a difference between your civil lawsuit and a criminal case. You won’t be compensated in a criminal case, but the responsible party may be brought to justice.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is a lawyer contingency fee for Personal Injury cases?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “When you’re seeking compensation after an injury, you might be worried about the cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer. You’re already facing hefty expenses, so you don’t want to pay for a lawyer if you’re not sure you’ll win. Fortunately, that’s exactly what contingency fees are for.

A contingency fee means that what you pay is contingent on (depends on) whether your claim is successful. Instead of paying a set amount, you’ll pay your attorney a set percentage of the compensation you receive. That way, you won’t be hit with any unexpected expenses, and you pay nothing if we don’t win.”
