Colorado law provides for a medical malpractice statute of limitations (SOL), which states a claim for medical or health care injuries may be barred after a certain period of time has passed. According to section 13-80-102.5 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, this time period is only two years for most medical malpractice cases. However, some medical providers are employed by governmental entities. If the provider who committed the malpractice is employed by a governmental entity, such as a state, county, city or university owned or operated hospital, different rules may apply. Under Colorado’s governmental immunity laws (CRS § 24-10-109), an injured party must give formal written notice of the claim to the governmental entity within 180 days of the date of the incident. If you fail to give proper notice under Colorado law, you will be barred from seeking compensation for your injuries and damages. Therefore, it is important to contact a personal injury lawyer immediately to ensure your claim for injuries is not barred. less
