Colorado’s statute of limitations permits injured people to file a claim within two years of the day the accident occurred. Filing a claim as soon as possible with your legal team will prevent any compensation losses and lawsuit complications. Understandably, injuries from catastrophic events or severe accidents may be short and long-term, with latent injuries presenting as time goes on. Depending on the extent of your injuries and the totality of damages, your case resolution may be extended due to the circumstances of the damages you have endured. Typically, a personal injury claim may be resolved within a few months to two years.
