When a reckless driver causes a crash, the injuries suffered by any occupants of the other vehicle involved may be very serious, especially if speeding was the cause of the crash. A reckless driving accident can result in tragic injuries, including:
When a person suffers a serious injury, they don’t just suffer physically – such injuries also lead to emotional harm and mental anguish, lost wages and loss of earning capacity, high medical expenses, diminished quality of life, loss of consortium, and more. Our Colorado Springs reckless driving accident lawyers want to represent you in your claim for damages and help you to recover the full value of damages that you have suffered.
In order to recover compensation in a reckless driving crash, you will need to bring a claim against the at-fault driver’s liability insurance and possibly against the driver. Additionally, you will need to present evidence that the accident would not have occurred but for the actions of the reckless driver.
Note that even if the driver was not issued a citation, there may still be lots of evidence that you can use to build your case, including physical evidence (i.e. vehicles’ positions, skid marks, damage to vehicles and surrounding objects, traffic signs, cell phone records, etc.), eyewitnesses’ statements, a police report, any video footage of the accident, the other driver’s driving record, and more.
Our law firm will work hard to prove that the other driver was operating their vehicle recklessly, that this reckless driving was the proximate cause of your crash, and that your injuries would not have occurred but for the accident. We will also represent you in calculating your damages and proving the full extent of harm that you have suffered.
Even if the at-fault driver is issued a citation for reckless driving–which is a Class 2 misdemeanor offense in Colorado–you will not be fully compensated for your harm unless you bring forth a civil action; civil and criminal cases are separate and distinct. Do not assume that just because the driver has been charged with a misdemeanor offense you will receive any sort of monetary award; instead, you must be proactive in the claims process. Our lawyers will help.
You deserve to be compensated for the full extent of harm you’ve suffered, including all of your economic and noneconomic losses. Remember that you only have three years from the date of your car accident to file a lawsuit for damages, which is one of the reasons why it is very important to initiate the claims process as soon as possible.
