Let's narrow this down. What kind of incident were you hurt in?
Colorado law, current
What changed for Colorado injury claims in 2025
$1.5M
Higher cap on non-economic damages
For most Colorado tort cases filed on or after January 1, 2025, HB24-1472 raised the cap on non-economic damages (pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment) to $1,500,000 — adjusted for inflation every two years beginning in 2028. Economic damages such as medical bills and lost income are generally not capped.
$2.125M
Wrongful-death non-economic cap
The same law raised the non-economic cap in wrongful-death actions to $2,125,000 and, for the first time, allows siblings of the deceased to bring wrongful-death claims in certain circumstances. Medical-liability cases follow separate, phased caps.
2–3 yrs
Deadlines still apply — and vary
Colorado's filing deadlines are unforgiving: generally two years for most injury claims and three years for motor-vehicle claims, with much shorter notice windows (182 days) for claims against government entities. Exceptions exist in both directions — confirm your specific deadline with an attorney promptly.
