Colorado Legal Help, From the Front Range to the Western Slope
For a generation, Colorado injury law was defined by damages caps frozen in the 1980s. Then HB 24-1472 (2024) blew the numbers open — the cap on non-economic damages in ordinary injury cases jumped to $1.5 million, and the long-frozen medical-malpractice caps began a phased climb of their own. The rest of Colorado law is just as homegrown: a Ski Safety Act that shields resorts from inherent-risk claims, a Premises Liability Act that replaced the common law outright, and a dog-bite statute with no patience for the one-bite excuse. Cases here get valued differently than they did two years ago — your lawyer should know that.
