About this section

Plain-language guidance for injured Coloradans

Every article on this blog is written by a CGH attorney or reviewed by one before it goes live. The goal is not to bury you in legal jargon. It is to answer the specific questions people in Colorado ask after a serious accident: How long do I have to file? What does the insurance company actually owe me? What happens if the other driver had no insurance? Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?

  • Colorado injury law changes. Statutes are updated, courts issue new decisions, and insurance practices shift. We update posts when the law changes so you are not relying on outdated information.
  • These articles cover the full arc of a Colorado personal-injury case, from the day of the accident through settlement or trial, including what to do at the scene, how to document your injuries, and what to expect during negotiation.
  • Nothing on this blog is legal advice for your specific situation. If you were hurt in an accident, the best next step is a free call with one of our attorneys.

What we cover

Colorado injury law topics covered here

Our articles fall into four practical topic areas. Use them to find what you need based on where you are in your situation.

  1. Deadlines and statutes of limitation

    Colorado sets hard deadlines for filing injury claims, and they vary by case type. Miss the deadline and you generally lose the right to sue, no matter how clear the other party's fault was. These articles explain the applicable deadlines for car accidents, slip-and-fall cases, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and other common claim types, along with the narrow exceptions that can toll or extend the time you have.

  2. Insurance coverage and bad faith

    Colorado drivers are required to carry liability insurance, but the minimum limits are often not enough to cover serious injuries. These articles walk through how liability, uninsured motorist, underinsured motorist, and medical-payments coverage actually work, what insurers are legally required to do under Colorado law, and what tactics adjusters sometimes use to reduce or deny valid claims.

  3. Fault, negligence, and comparative fault

    Colorado follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you were partly at fault for the accident, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and you cannot recover at all if you were 50 percent or more at fault. These articles explain how fault is established, how liability is investigated, and how the comparative fault rules affect real cases.

  4. The case process from injury to resolution

    Most people injured in Colorado have never been through a personal-injury case before. These articles explain what happens at each stage, from gathering evidence and dealing with medical liens to submitting a demand, negotiating with adjusters, filing suit, and reaching a settlement or going to trial. We aim to remove the uncertainty so you know what to expect.

Getting the most from these articles

How to find what applies to your situation

Start with the type of accident or the question you have. If you were in a car crash, the car-accident articles cover liability, insurance requirements, the demand process, and common disputes. If your injury involved a property owner's negligence, the premises-liability articles address the specific duties Colorado landowners owe visitors. Each article links to the related practice-area page where you can read more detail and reach us directly.

  • If you are trying to understand a deadline: look for articles tagged with the statute-of-limitation topic. Colorado deadlines differ by claim type and the identity of the defendant, so the specific article matters.
  • If an insurance adjuster has already contacted you: read the insurance-tactics articles before you respond. What you say in an early recorded statement can be used to reduce your claim.
  • If you want to understand your rights before hiring anyone: start with the overview articles. You do not need to hire a lawyer to read and understand this material.
