What is the deadline in Colorado?
Colorado has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (CRS § 13-80-101). Modified comparative fault applies with a 50% bar — plaintiff recovering only if less than 50% at fault. Claims against state or local government entities require a notice of claim within 182 days under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (CRS § 24-10-109). 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.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Colorado's mountain corridors — I-70 through the Rockies — are among the most dangerous commercial truck routes in the nation. Steep grades, chain law requirements, and brake-failure runaway ramps are features of Colorado's unique trucking risk profile. Colorado follows modified comparative fault with a 50% bar.
