Medical Malpractice in Aurora
Aurora's Anschutz Medical Campus is home to Colorado's two most important Level I academic medical centers — UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado — on the same campus. Together they form the primary hub for the most complex medical care in the Rocky Mountain region, making Aurora the center of Colorado's most significant malpractice litigation. UCHealth, as a University of Colorado entity, may require compliance with the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act for state entity claims — a potential additional notice and procedural requirement. Colorado's Certificate of Review — a qualified expert's written opinion filed within 60 days of the complaint — requires rapid expert engagement after filing. The $300,000 non-economic cap shapes Aurora malpractice recovery strategy toward maximizing economic damages including lifetime care costs.
