Each state sets its own rules, called the statute of limitations. In Colorado, you usually have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. In some cases, this could be two years from the date you actually discovered your injuries, which may be different from the date of the event or, legally speaking, the date of loss. When it comes to car accidents in Colorado, you have three years to file a personal injury claim.
No matter what the statute of limitations in your case is, you should speak with a Colorado personal injury attorney as soon as possible, even if you’re not sure how you might proceed. Personal injury attorneys can do a better job building up your case the earlier they’re involved.
