What Can You Recover in a Personal Injury Claim?

Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims in Colorado
In Colorado, the statute of limitations requires you to file a lawsuit on your personal injury claim within a certain period. Failure to timely file your claim can lead to the court permanently dismissing your case. Most personal injury claims must be filed in court within two years after your injury or the later date when you discover your injury and what caused it. However, for car accident claims, you have three years from the accident date to file your lawsuit.
If you wish to bring your injury claim against a state or local government agency, Colorado law requires you to give the agency notice of your claim before you can file suit. Usually, notice must be provided within 182 days of the date of your injury. Failure to give timely notice means the court does not have jurisdiction to hear your personal injury claim against the government.
