Colorado Fault & Insurance Rules

Colorado is a modified comparative fault state. You can recover if you are less than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your fault percentage. At 50% or more fault, you cannot recover.

Colorado requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/15. Colorado does not require uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, but it must be offered by insurers and explicitly rejected in writing.

Colorado allows 3 years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim (CRS § 13-80-101). For wrongful death, the limit is 2 years. While 3 years seems generous, evidence and witnesses become harder to secure over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Colorado crash reports from the Colorado State Patrol are available through the CSP records portal. For accidents on city streets, contact the local police department. Denver PD and other major departments have online records portals. The CSP report fee is approximately $5 to $10.
While not always legally required, a police report is essential for any significant insurance claim in Colorado. It provides official documentation of the accident, the officer’s fault assessment, and witness information. Without a police report, fault disputes are much harder to resolve in your favor and claims take longer to process.
