Frequently Asked Questions
How does Colorado’s modified comparative fault rule affect my personal injury Denver case?
Under CRS § 13-21-111, Colorado follows a 51% modified comparative fault standard. If you are found 50% or less at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages—though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover. Denver District Court juries apply this standard, which is why building a strong liability case from the start is critical.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Denver County?
Most personal injury claims in Colorado must be filed within two years of the date of injury under CRS § 13-80-102. Exceptions exist for claims involving minors, cases where the injury was not immediately discoverable, and claims against government entities, which require notice within 182 days under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act. Missing the deadline almost always bars recovery entirely.
Which Denver courts handle personal injury civil cases, and what should I expect in terms of timeline?
Cases with damages claims above $25,000 are filed in Denver District Court; smaller claims go to Denver County Court. Denver District Court personal injury cases routinely take 12–24 months from filing to trial, driven by discovery schedules and court docket congestion. Pre-trial mediation is common and resolves a significant share of Denver personal injury cases before trial.
