Negligence
If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can’t it get us out?
-Will Rogers
The elements for negligence are such: there must be a duty, a breach of that duty, causation, and then damages. If all of these elements are not satisfied, then a negligence claim will fail.
But natural questions arise: How do I know if the other party had a duty? How do I know if they truly breached that duty? If they violated their duty intentionally does that still qualify as negligence? How do I prove causation if it is not direct? What defines damages?
Mark Anthony Law can help you in answering these questions and more.
Under C.R.S. § 13-80-102(a), the statute of limitations for negligence can be between 2-3 years, depending on the type of case. Therefore, the window is relatively small to act and the size of that window varies on a negligence claim.
