After you submit a free case review, your request is delivered to a participating Colorado law firm — participating firms are paid advertisers, and each firm independently determines whether it can assist you.

Colorado generally allows two years from the date of injury for most personal injury lawsuits (C.R.S. 13-80-102) — but three years for motor vehicle accidents. Claims involving a government entity require written notice within 182 days (C.R.S. 24-10-109) under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
Explain whether you are reporting a new accident, responding to an insurer offer, or dealing with papers already filed. Identify each insurer separately rather than treating all correspondence as one claim.
