John Fuller from Fuller Law discusses a crucial aspect of personal injury law – what happens if the at-fault party in a car accident lacks sufficient insurance to cover your damages. John Fuller provides deep insights into the risks and repercussions of taking legal action in small claims court when dealing with property damage and ongoing personal injury cases.

John elucidates the complexities and potential pitfalls of pursuing property damage claims separately. He explains that while you might win a judgment in small claims court, collecting on that judgment is another battle entirely. Moreover, he warns that pursuing separate claims for property damage and personal injury can lead to significant legal complications, including the possibility of being barred from pursuing further damages. Fuller emphasizes the importance of having comprehensive insurance coverage to protect oneself adequately.

Key Takeaways:
  • Suing in small claims court for property damage can complicate or negate your ability to pursue a personal injury claim.

  • Judgments in small claims court are essentially pieces of paper; collecting on them can be extraordinarily difficult.

  • Colorado law requires that all claims (property damage and personal injury) be resolved in a single case.

  • It is crucial to have comprehensive insurance coverage to protect against underinsured drivers.

  • Always consult with your personal injury attorney before taking any legal action on your own.
