Statutes of Limitation

Each state sets its own limitations periods and these periods are often different for different kinds of cases. The limitations periods for lawsuits alleging negligence are as follows.
In Colorado, negligence cases must be filed within two years of the date when the negligence was discovered or could have reasonably been discovered.
