Colorado Law & Birth Injury Claims
Birth injury claims in Colorado fall under the medical malpractice statute, including the certificate of review requirement and the total damages cap of approximately $1 million. However, the statute of limitations is tolled for minors until they turn 18, giving more time to file. Lifetime care costs often exceed the malpractice cap, making these cases particularly challenging.
Birth injury claims follow the 2-year medical malpractice statute, but the statute is tolled for minors until they turn 18.
