One of the most common myths people bring up when talking to me is that the other driver’s insurance company is responsible for paying their medical bills. This is not true. Colorado is what is referred to as a tort jurisdiction. I should note initially that a tort is not a pastry. A tort is… Read more »
In previous posts, we have discussed bodily injury and uninsured/underinsured insurance coverage on your car. While there are other options that may be available with different insurance companies, the one other type of insurance I would like to discuss is called medical payments coverage. Colorado law requires all insurers to offer medical payments coverage to… Read more »
As we discussed previously, it’s required by law that if you drive a car in the state of Colorado, you must have bodily injury (BI) coverage of at least $25,000 if you cause an accident and injure somebody.
