Colorado statute of limitations personal injury

Colorado's statute of limitations for personal injury claims varies by case type. Motor vehicle accidents have 3 years from the date of injury. General personal injury cases like slip and fall have 2 years from the date of injury. Medical malpractice has 2 years from discovery of injury, with a maximum of 3 years from the act. Government claims require written notice within 182 days of the incident. Missing these deadlines typically means losing your right to compensation forever. Don't wait until the last minute. Evidence fades, witnesses forget, and you need time to build a strong case. For catastrophic injury cases, building a comprehensive case takes significant time. Expert witnesses must be retained, life care plans developed, and vocational analyses completed. Starting early is critical. If you're approaching a deadline, contact an attorney immediately.
