Damages in Fort Collins Personal Injury Claims
Damages generally fall into two categories: economic and non-economic damages. Colorado laws set limits depending on the type of damages claimed:
“The total amount recoverable for all damages for a course of care for all defendants in any civil action for damages in tort brought against a health-care professional, as defined in section 13-64-202, or a health-care institution, as defined in section 13-64-202, or as a result of binding arbitration, whether past damages, future damages, or a combination of both, shall not exceed one million dollars…” Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-64-302.
Economic damages are tangible losses with an identifiable monetary value. Non-economic damages are more difficult to define, such as the victim’s pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of companionship. Economic damages are typically uncapped in Colorado (except for medical malpractice damages that typically cannot exceed $1 million.) Starting in 2025, Non-Economic damages are capped at $1.5 million.
