What is a Personal Injury Case?

Jill Russell

If you are injured due to someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to damages to cover your expenses as well as your pain and suffering.



When a person or business fails to exercise the degree of care necessary to protect others from injury, the legal term is "negligence." Proving a party was negligent is the foundation for most personal injury claims in Colorado.


Examples of negligence that could lead to a personal injury case, include:

  • A driver who causes a crash because they were texting and driving or otherwise not paying proper attention;

  • A driver who ignores the speed limit and causes an accident while speeding;

  • A business that fails to remedy a hazard, such as a wet floor or cracked sidewalk;

  • A doctor who fails to adhere to the proper standard of care during a medical procedure.

Any type of bodily injury suffered as a result of an accident can be filed as a personal injury claim, whether it is from an auto collision, a slip and fall, or a medical error.
