Tucker and Colorado's Collateral Source Rule - Video On-Demand
Program Description:
On November 15, 2010, the Colorado Supreme Court handed down its ruling in Tucker, a significant decision for all lawyers prosecuting or defending Colorado tort claims. This seminal case:
- Outlines the scope and history of the common law collateral source rule in Colorado;
- Specifically addresses the procedural and evidentiary impact of Colorado's 1986 Collateral Source statute;
- Clarifies the impact of the 1986 Collateral Source statute on health insurance and medical payment benefits;
- Clarifies which payments and benefits qualify as “collateral sources” under the common law and 1986 statute;
- Addresses the extent to which evidence of collateral source payments or benefits may be admitted or excluded at trial; and
- Discusses the scope of post-trial collateral source “set-off” hearings under the 1986 statute.
This one-hour program provides background regarding the issues addressed in Tucker, and an in-depth overview of the Tucker holding, discussing the practical implications of this case in Colorado personal injury law and the interplay between this decision and other Colorado statutes, such as C.R.S. §§ 10-1-135 and 10-4-609.
