Colorado Personal Injury Law: What You Need to Know

Understanding Colorado's personal injury laws is crucial for protecting your rights:

Statute of Limitations: 3 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit
Fault System: Modified comparative fault (50% bar)
Damage Caps: No cap on economic damages; non-economic damages capped in some cases
Dram Shop Laws: Bars can be liable for serving intoxicated patrons
Dog Bite Liability: Strict liability for dog bite injuries

Colorado's modified comparative fault rule means you can recover damages as long as you're less than 50% at fault for your accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys work to minimize any fault assigned to you while maximizing your recovery.

Personal Injury Laws by State — Colorado, Arizona, California & Kansas

Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence system under C.R.S. § 13-21-111, barring recovery if the plaintiff is 50% or more at fault and reducing damages by the plaintiff's fault percentage. The statute of limitations for personal injury is three years under C.R.S. § 13-80-101. Arizona applies pure comparative negligence under A.R.S. § 12-2505, allowing recovery regardless of the plaintiff's fault percentage — even a plaintiff 99% at fault can recover 1% of damages. Arizona's statute of limitations is two years under A.R.S. § 12-542. California also follows pure comparative negligence under CCP § 1431.2, with a two-year filing deadline per CCP § 335.1. Kansas mirrors Colorado's approach with a modified comparative negligence threshold of 50% under K.S.A. § 60-258a, but allows only a two-year filing window under K.S.A. § 60-513. These differences significantly impact case strategy — a plaintiff 55% at fault recovers nothing in Colorado or Kansas but retains a reduced claim in Arizona and California.
