When should I file a claim?

Colorado’s statute of limitations on filing a personal injury claim is two years. Colorado operates under the discovery rule, meaning that the clock starts ticking from the time the injury is discovered, not from when it initially occurred.

How can I prove negligence?

Colorado operates under the contributory negligence rule, which means that the person who injured you may file a counter-claim for damages if they believe that you, the injured, were also partially at fault.

When will the other person’s insurance contact me?

Colorado law stipulates that insurance is not allowed to contact you within 30 days of being injured. A release of liability, which is a statement that says you won’t sue the at-fault party for anything else, can’t be obtained by insurance within 30 days either.

Grand Junction Construction Site Accidents Lawyer

Construction sites, by their very nature, can be dangerous places because they typically have heavy machinery regularly operating, unclear or changing walkways and structures and various construction materials regularly moving about the site. While there are a number of federal regulations in place to try to make construction sites as safe as possible, unfortunately, these regulations are not always followed, and consequently, construction site accidents occur. When these accidents are caused by any type of negligence or reckless behavior, accident victims will likely be entitled to compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, mental anguish and other losses.

CAUSES OF CONSTRUCTION SITE ACCIDENTS

Some of the specific types of negligence that may cause construction site accidents include (but are not limited to):

Construction workers’ inexperience or lack of training
Construction site supervisors’ failure to properly set up the site and/or manage the ongoing safety issues associated with the site
Lack of the proper personal protective gear for workers
Failure to properly maintain construction vehicles and/or machinery (like forklifts, compressors, punch presses, etc.)
Failure to properly store chemicals or other hazardous materials.
