Under Colorado law, pedestrian accident claims are subject to a 2-year statute of limitations. Colorado follows a modified comparative fault system with a 50% bar (C.R.S. 13-21-111) — you can recover damages only if you are less than 50% at fault. Noneconomic damages are capped at approximately $642,180, though courts can increase this to approximately $1 million with clear and convincing evidence.
