What is the deadline in Colorado?

Colorado Revised Statutes § 13-80-102 provides a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims with the discovery rule applying for latent asbestos diseases. The discovery rule starts the clock at mesothelioma diagnosis. Colorado courts have active asbestos dockets in Denver District Court. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
