If you have been in a car accident in the state of Colorado, it is very likely that you will have questions regarding what to do next. Laws on car accidents vary significantly from state to state. Therefore, it is important that you familiarize yourself on the intricacies of the law in Colorado.
The following are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding how to deal with the aftermath of a car accident in the state of Colorado.
Unfortunately, thousands of people are injured each year on properties owned by someone else. The damages suffered as a result of the injury on the premises can lead the victim to file a personal injury claim.
Deciding whether to file a personal injury claim can be difficult in the state of Colorado. You may wonder whether you will be successful in your pursuit, and whether the filing will be stressful and traumatic. It is important to understand the situations in which personal injury claims tend to be successful, so you can apply this to your unique case.
A car accident can result in devastating financial damage and a long physical recovery from injuries. You pay your auto insurance premium diligently as a safety net when an accident like this happens. The last thing you want to encounter is resistance on the insurance company's end to pay for damages. Now you must navigate recovery while battling against a large company.
Sometimes insurance companies use unfair tactics to avoid paying policyholders. This is known as acting in bad faith. If an insurance company is acting in bad faith, then you may be able to sue the insurance company for refusing to pay the claim under your policy or sue your insurance company for failing to effectively defend you.
The law is quite simple in the state of Colorado when it comes to drinking and driving. If you are a driver over the age of 21 and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is measured at .08 percent or higher, you will be subject to a potential DUI conviction.
However, while the law is quite simple, the circumstances of drivers that are accused of violating the law rarely are. There are many potential defenses that drivers can claim in order to have DUI charges dismissed.
In the state of Colorado, any type of sexual assault, including rape, is always considered a crime. This means that any person who is a victim of sexual assault has the right to come forward and hold the perpetrator legally liable.
If you have been raped or you have been affected by sexual assault in the state of Colorado, it is important that you learn about how the law is in place to protect you. By reporting the illegal offense, you will be able to get justice for yourself, and you could potentially prevent other people from being affected by the perpetrator in the future.
Whether you're ready or not, the winter driving season is already here -- so it's time to go back over the rules of the road once the ice and snow start coming down.
According to statistics gathered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHA), ice and snow are responsible for auto accidents that cause about 1,300 deaths and 116,800 injuries every year. To avoid becoming part of those statistics, you should:

The weather is already turning cold and damp -- and it won't be long before ice and snow are on the ground. When that happens, you can be sure that one more thing is soon to follow: slip and fall accidents.
Who is responsible when you fall in a damaged or ice-covered parking lot and end up seriously injured? Is there any way you can recover for your losses if broken bones or a slipped disc in your back puts you out of work for months on end after a fall? Or is it just your bad luck, leaving you to cope with your injuries -- and your financial losses -- on your own?
Experiencing sexual harassment at work can be terrifying. You might not know what to do next because you are afraid that your job may be on the line. Your employer's reaction to a complaint can be unpredictable; however, it is important to know that you are protected by certain laws.
First, tell the harasser to stop if you feel comfortable enough doing so. Take the following steps if you do not feel comfortable confronting your harasser or if they will not stop after you've confronted him or her.
