Statute of Limitations in Colorado
The state of Colorado has set a 2-year statute of limitations on personal injury cases. This means that injured people must file their personal injury lawsuits within two years from the day they were injured to seek compensation. There is a lot of chaos that happens after an accident, and over time an injured person may not have their claim on the front of their mind.
However, acting as soon as possible can help ensure a personal injury lawsuit’s success. These cases take time to compile, but Veritas Injury Lawyers has the experience to handle your case efficiently and accurately.

Is My Personal Injury Settlement or Verdict Taxable?This depends: Punitive damages are taxable as "other means of income." Interest income comes from judgment interest. Compensation for economic and noneconomic damages is not taxed by the IRS. The settlement or verdict agreement will be clearly stated so the IRS will impose you fairly.
-
What Is the Required Minimum Auto Insurance In Colorado?Legal auto insurance coverage is: $25,000 per injured victim $15,000 minimum in property damage $50,000 per accident, no matter how many victims have been affected Since Colorado is a "fault" state, this means you can file a claim against the defendant driver's insurance carrier. However, if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, there are steps you can take to get around that.
-
If the Accident Was Somewhat My Fault, Can I Still Win My Case?Yes. However, you may not win the maximum possible settlement amount. Under Colorado's fault principles, your damages will be decreased in proportion to your fault. So, if you were 30% at fault, then your damages would be reduced by that amount in the claims. Keep in mind that the court determines fault.
-
How Much Time Do I Have to File an Auto Accident Lawsuit?In most cases, you have around three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. The deadline can be prolonged if you discovered the injury later. If you are planning to sue a government establishment, you may be required to file a claim within a few months after the accident.
