Colorado statute of limitations personal injury

Colorado's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. If you fail to file a lawsuit within this window, you lose your right to pursue compensation—no matter how strong your case. Some exceptions apply: claims against government entities have a much shorter notice deadline (typically 182 days), and cases involving minors may have extended deadlines. Don't wait to consult an attorney; critical evidence can be lost and deadlines can sneak up quickly.
