CRS 12-240-139 is Colorado's mandatory injury reporting law. It requires certain medical professionals to report suspicious injuries to the police. It also protects doctors from a lawsuit for making these reports. CRS 12-240-139 covers licensees. A licensee means any of the following health service providers licensed to practice medicine in Colorado: A physician, a physician's assistant, or an anesthesiologist's assistant who is licensed. Anyone who is not licensed to practice medicine in Colorado is not subject to CRS 12-240-139. Colorado's mandated injury reporting law only covers certain kinds of injuries. They include: Gunshot wounds that seem to be intentional, stab wounds that seem to be intentional, dog bite injuries that seem to be caused by dangerous dogs, and any other injury reasonably believed to have been caused by a crime, such as child abuse or sexual abuse. However, injuries from suspected domestic violence do not have to be reported if: They are neither gunshot nor stab wounds nor dog bites, and the injuries are not serious. Domestic violence victims over 18 years of age can also ask a doctor not to report their injuries. Doctors have to take extra steps when the injury seems to be from domestic violence. They have to refer a victim to a domestic violence support agency. Among the injuries that have to be reported under CRS 12-240-139 are certain dog bites. However, the law does not list the dog breeds that are covered. Instead, the law requires injuries to be reported if the bite was caused by a dangerous dog. Under Colorado law, dangerous dogs are those that: Hurt people or other animals, have tendencies that suggest it would hurt people or animals, or engages in dog fights or is trained to fight other dogs.
