How Long Do You Have to File an Injury Claim in Greenwood Village, CO?

Colorado generally allows three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit over a motor vehicle injury, longer than the two-year window for many other injury claims. Claims against a government entity carry much shorter notice periods, so the deadline depends on who is responsible.

Deadlines tend to feel distant while a person is focused on treatment, but they keep running during medical visits and insurance talks. An insurer’s ongoing review of a claim does not pause the clock, and a settlement conversation that stalls can leave little time to act. 

After a crash, it is advisable to keep a written timeline of the injury date, treatment, and every insurer contact to make the key dates easier to track.

Different defendants can change the math. Drivers may deal with private motorists, employers, rental companies, or public entities, and each can carry different notice requirements. Reviewing those details with a car accident lawyer helps pin down which deadline applies and what must be filed first.
