Liability Is the Key to Compensation in a Littleton Car Accident Case
On any roadway, from the CanAm Highway to Littleton Boulevard, all motorists have an obligation to each other to drive responsibly. Obeying the traffic laws, being attentive, and keeping a level head are all parts of being a good driver. When someone disregards those principles, they are being negligent.
Negligence, or outright malice, can cause accidents. If an accident occurs, the negligent driver is liable. Here are some example scenarios of actions that could make a driver liable for a crash:
- A driver operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- A driver getting road rage and becoming aggressive behind the wheel
- A distracted driver looking at their phone or another device when they should be paying attention to the road
- A truck driver speeding, failing to use their signals, or otherwise exhibiting disregard for traffic laws
In all of these situations, the negligent driver could be responsible for the costs of a crash. To help establish liability and a case for crash-related injuries, you should:
- Stay calm and evaluate yourself for injuries
- Document the scene of the crash, including your vehicle and the other driver’s vehicle
- Gather contact information from the other people involved and any witnesses
- File a report with law enforcement to document the details of the collision and start a paper trail
- Seek medical attention, as this is the best way to begin healing quickly and demonstrate that the motor vehicle accident caused your injuries
- Seek legal assistance before speaking to the insurance company
According to CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-101, you have three years from the date of your car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, so do not hesitate to get started. Legal matters can move slowly, but with a Littleton car accident lawyer from Matlin Injury Law by your side, you can feel confident that you are making wise decisions.
We pledge to always look out for your best interest and fight for justice for you and your family.
