Typical damages following an accident may include damages to property (such as a car), and bodily injury (damage to the vehicle occupants themselves). For legal purposes, a bodily injury claim is generally sub-divided into two categories:Economic Damages: past and future medical expenses, wage loss, and additional expenses related to physical impairment and disfigurementNon-Economic Damages: pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, inconvenience, physical impairment, and other similar lossesThe dollar value of these categories of damages can add up quickly. Thankfully, Colorado law requires every owner of an automobile in the State of Colorado to buy a minimum amount of car insurance to pay for these categories of damages. There are two types of mandatory car insurance in Colorado:PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY COVERAGE- this coverage pays for the damage to the automobile involved in the accident and is paid out on behalf of the at-fault driver.BODILY INJURY LIABILITY COVERAGE- this coverage pays on behalf of the at-fault driver for bodily injuries sustained in a motor vehicle collision. The State of Colorado requires that every owner of an automobile have at least $25,000.00 in bodily injury liability insurance coverage.In Colorado, the person who caused the accident (the at-fault driver) and/or their insurance company is financially responsible for all of your accident-related injuries, damages, and losses.Source Link: http://www.coloradolaw.net
