How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?
For general personal injury claims, the statute of limitations (time limit imposed by law) is two years from the date of injury in Colorado. This time limit applies to slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and other types of personal injury. If you are bringing a claim against a city or county or the State of Colorado, you only have 180 days in which to file.
Motor vehicle accidents are an exception to this rule, with a longer time limit.
The statute of limitations for a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, or other types of traffic collision is three years from the date of injury. One possible exception to the statute of limitations is the discovery rule.
This applies when it is not possible or reasonable for the injured person to know the cause of injury – or even that an injury has occurred – until after (sometimes long after) the date of the injury.
An example of when the discovery rule may apply is lung cancer that has taken decades to develop after asbestos exposure.
What Types of Damages Can You Recover for Personal Injury in Colorado?
Each personal injury claim is different. Plaintiffs in Colorado may pursue both economic and non-economic damages for their losses. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your case, damages you may be entitled to pursue may include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages or earnings
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Mental anguish
- Diminished quality of life
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Permanent disability
In certain personal injury matters, punitive damages, designed to punish the defendant rather than compensate the plaintiff, may also be awarded.
Punitive damages can only be awarded if you can prove that the harm you suffered as a direct result of fraud, malice, or willful or wanton conduct.
