Is Colorado a no-fault state for car accidents?

No. Colorado used to be a no-fault state but dropped that system in 2003. Today Colorado is an at-fault, tort-based state, meaning the driver who caused the crash, and their insurance, is financially responsible for the damage. You can pursue a claim directly against the at-fault driver’s insurer rather than being limited to your own no-fault coverage.

What’s left over from the old system

One holdover is MedPay, optional medical payments coverage that still pays your bills regardless of fault, similar to how no-fault PIP coverage used to work. It’s just no longer mandatory and no longer the primary way injury claims get resolved.
