Why Hire a Boating Injury Attorney?
At Conduit Law, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that serious boating injuries can take on you and your family. Elliot Singer has recovered more than $50 million for clients over his career. Boating accidents often involve complex liability questions, and Colorado's modified comparative negligence law (C.R.S. § 13-21-111) means that even if you bear partial fault, you may still recover damages—as long as you are less than 50% responsible. Colorado generally sets a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (C.R.S. § 13-80-102), with three years for motor vehicle accidents (C.R.S. § 13-80-101), so prompt action matters. We pursue both economic and non-economic damages for your losses.
Our Approach
- Thorough investigation of your case
- Expert medical and accident reconstruction testimony
- Careful negotiation with insurance companies
- Preparation for trial when a case needs it
Types of Compensation We Recover
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation costs
No Fees Unless We Win
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don't pay attorney fees unless we secure a settlement or verdict in your favor. This arrangement allows you to focus on your recovery while the legal team handles the complex aspects of your case. Colorado generally requires personal injury claims to be filed within two years, so timely representation matters. Colorado follows modified comparative negligence rules, meaning you can recover damages even if partially at fault, provided your responsibility is less than 50 percent. Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, are capped at $1,500,000 for cases filed on or after January 1, 2025. This fee structure means you can have representation without upfront costs.

Under Colorado law, you generally have two years from the date of your boat accident to file a personal injury claim. Time is critical, as evidence can disappear and memories fade. Colorado's modified comparative negligence rules allow recovery even if you're partially at fault, as long as your share is under 50%. Your case may include economic damages for medical bills and lost wages, plus non-economic damages for pain and suffering. A free, no-obligation consultation can help you understand your options and determine the best path forward for your specific situation.
Our Service Area
Personal Injury Laws by State — Colorado, Arizona, California & Kansas
Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence system under C.R.S. § 13-21-111, barring recovery if the plaintiff is 50% or more at fault and reducing damages by the plaintiff's fault percentage. Most injury claims: 2 years from the date of injury. Auto collisions: 3 years from the date of crash. Arizona applies pure comparative negligence under A.R.S. § 12-2505, allowing recovery regardless of the plaintiff's fault percentage — even a plaintiff 99% at fault can recover 1% of damages. Arizona's statute of limitations is two years under A.R.S. § 12-542. California also follows pure comparative negligence under CCP § 1431.2, with a two-year filing deadline per CCP § 335.1. Kansas mirrors Colorado's approach with a modified comparative negligence threshold of 50% under K.S.A. § 60-258a, but allows only a two-year filing window under K.S.A. § 60-513. These differences significantly impact case strategy — a plaintiff 55% at fault recovers nothing in Colorado or Kansas but retains a reduced claim in Arizona and California.
