Understanding the Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Claims in Colorado

|

Getting involved in a car accident can be a traumatic experience, and it is not surprising that you may have a lot of questions following the incident, especially if it is your first time. One of the most pressing questions on your mind may be about the timeline for filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. In Colorado, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident claim is different from other states, and knowing the timeframe is critical for protecting your legal rights. In this post, we will provide you with an overview of the statute of limitations for filing a car accident claim, how liability is established in a car accident, and how we can assist you at Leventhal Swan Taylor Temming PC.

Statute of Limitations for Filing a Car Accident Claim in Colorado

A statute of limitations is a legal timeframe within which people may bring a legal claim. In Colorado, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident claim is generally three years from the date of the accident. This means that if you do not file a lawsuit within this period, you may be prohibited from pursuing legal action against the other driver or responsible parties. If you have been involved in a car accident in Denver, it is essential to act quickly and contact an experienced attorney to assess your case's legal merits and ensure you meet the time restrictions.

How Liability is Established in a Car Accident

Liability in car accidents refers to the fault or responsibility for the accident. In Colorado, liability is assessed based on comparative negligence. This means that drivers or individuals who share responsibility for the accident may be held liable or partially responsible. The amount of compensation you can recover is based on your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% responsible for the accident, you will only be able to recover 80% of the damages. Proving liability in a car accident may require a comprehensive investigation, which is why consulting an experienced attorney is so important.
