When you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you need experienced legal representation to protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
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. Our experienced team of boat accident attorneys has successfully represented countless clients throughout Denver and Colorado, recovering over $50 million in compensation for injured families. 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. Additionally, Colorado imposes a two-year statute of limitations on most personal injury claims (three years for motor vehicle accidents) (C.R.S. § 13-80-102), making prompt legal action critical. Our attorneys skillfully navigate these legal requirements while pursuing both economic and non-economic damages to ensure comprehensive compensation for your losses and suffering.
Our Approach
- Thorough investigation of your case
- Expert medical and accident reconstruction testimony
- Aggressive negotiation with insurance companies
- Trial-ready preparation for maximum results
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. Under Colorado law, personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the incident, making timely representation essential. 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. With over $50 million recovered for Colorado families in personal injury cases, experienced representation can make a significant difference in maximizing your recovery. This fee structure removes financial barriers to justice, ensuring you have strong legal advocacy without upfront costs.

With over $50 million recovered for Colorado families, the firm understands how to navigate Colorado's modified comparative negligence rules, which allow recovery even if you're partially at fault—up to 49%.

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.
