Abogado de accidentes de bote y jet ski
Los accidentes en bote, jet ski y otras embarcaciones pueden causar lesiones muy serias. A diferencia de los choques en carretera, en el agua a menudo hay menos reglas claras, menos supervisión inmediata y más factores de riesgo como alcohol, clima y falta de entrenamiento.

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.

Injury Law at a Glance — CO, CA, AZ & KS
Three things shape almost every injury claim: how long you have to file, how fault is divided, and what the law lets you recover. They differ by state — here is where the four states we practice in stand.
