How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Colorado?

The Answer

In Colorado, premises liability cases, including slip and fall accidents, have a two-year statute of limitations. That means you have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you permanently lose your right to recover any compensation.

But don't wait two years. Evidence disappears fast, surveillance footage gets overwritten, witnesses move or forget, and the hazard gets repaired with no record of it ever existing. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better your chances of building a winning case.

The full picture, the law, the deadlines, and the strategy, lives in our slip and fall guide.
