Colorado’s scenic mountain highways attract riders from across the country, but winding roads and inattentive drivers create serious risks. Cases in Denver County are filed in Denver County Court, 2nd Judicial District.
Under Colorado law, motorcycle accident claims are subject to 2 years for motor vehicle accidents (C.R.S. § 13-80-101(1)(n)). Colorado's modified comparative fault system with a 50% bar (C.R.S. § 13-21-111) applies. Noneconomic damages are capped at approximately $642,180.
