Colorado’s Time Limit on Personal Injury Claims
In Colorado, the law places a time limit on filing a lawsuit in a personal injury claim. This limit is called the statute of limitations. For most personal injury claims in Colorado, the statute of limitations requires that a lawsuit be filed within two years of the date when the underlying injury occurred.
However, personal injury claims arising from motor vehicle-related accidents, such as car crashes and pedestrian accidents, are subject to a different limitations period. The statute of limitations for motor vehicle-related personal injury claims requires that a lawsuit be filed within three years of the date of the accident.
Filing your personal injury lawsuit after the applicable statute of limitations has expired on your claim can open you up to the risk that the court will dismiss your case. In other words, you could lose your right to seek compensation for your injuries through the court system.
