Limits on Damages for Personal Injury Claims in Colorado
In Colorado, personal injury claims are subject to certain limits on damages that can be recovered. This is an important consideration for individuals who have suffered injuries due to the negligence or wrongful actions of others. McCormick & Murphy, a team of experienced Denver personal injury lawyers, can help guide you through the complexities of these legal restrictions and ensure you receive the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
The Colorado Damages Cap Act sets limits on the amount of non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, that can be recovered in personal injury cases. Currently, the cap is $613,500, with exceptions for certain types of severe injuries. This means that even if a jury awards a higher amount, the final judgment may be reduced to comply with the statutory limits.
Understanding these damage limitations is crucial, as it can significantly impact the outcome of your personal injury claim.
