In Colorado, injury victims must demonstrate that the party being charged with liability acted negligently or intentionally caused injury. Negligence is a failure to exercise reasonable care and can include an action or inaction that results in injury. To establish liability, injury victims must show that the defendant had a duty of care to protect them from injury, that the duty of care was violated, and injury resulted due to the violation.
According to the Colorado statute of limitations, injury victims who have suffered from an injury due to someone else’s negligence have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim.
