When should I file a claim?

Colorado’s statute of limitations on filing a personal injury claim is two years. Colorado operates under the discovery rule, meaning that the clock starts ticking from the time the injury is discovered, not from when it initially occurred.

How can I prove negligence?

Colorado operates under the contributory negligence rule, which means that the person who injured you may file a counter-claim for damages if they believe that you, the injured, were also partially at fault.

When will the other person’s insurance contact me?

Colorado law stipulates that insurance is not allowed to contact you within 30 days of being injured. A release of liability, which is a statement that says you won’t sue the at-fault party for anything else, can’t be obtained by insurance within 30 days either.
