Statute of limitations: Under Colorado law, many negligence-based personal injury actions generally have a two-year filing period under C.R.S. § 13-80-102. However, bodily injury or property-damage claims arising from the use or operation of a motor vehicle generally have a three-year limitation period under C.R.S. § 13-80-101(1)(n). Different deadlines and exceptions may apply depending on the type of claim.
Modified comparative negligence: Under C.R.S. § 13-21-111, an injured person's damages may be reduced according to their percentage of fault. Recovery may be barred when the injured person's negligence is equal to or greater than the negligence of the person against whom recovery is sought.
