FACTS ABOUT COLORADO AUTO INJURY LAWSUITS - FACT #1

Insurance companies would like Colorado citizens to believe that rising insurance premiums are due to an increase in lawsuits filed against the insurance company. This propaganda is simply untrue.

*Only 1.32% of all lawsuits filed in Colorado during 2008

involved personal injury resulting from motor vehicle accidents.

Fact #1 - The National Center for State Courts tracks the number of tort filings in state courts. Of the 31 states for which they report data, Colorado is tied for the state 24th from the top. In other words, only six states have citizens less litigious than we are. In Colorado, our 2006 tort caseload statewide was 127 cases per 100,000 residents. Nationally, the average was 208 cases.

Take home message: There is no race to the court house in Colorado.
