01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Colorado?

Colorado has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury and products liability claims (C.R.S. § 13-80-102). The discovery rule applies — the clock starts when the plaintiff knew or reasonably should have known of the injury and its cause. Colorado uses modified comparative fault with a 50% bar. 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.
