If a government vehicle or employee caused your accident, the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (C.R.S. § 24-10-109) requires a written notice of claim to the appropriate government agency, or the Attorney General, within 182 days of the crash, far shorter than the standard three-year deadline for private claims. Miss this notice deadline and you can lose your right to sue the government entity entirely.
Why this one is unforgiving
The notice has to include specific details: what happened, when, where, and the amount of damages claimed. Courts tend to enforce this deadline strictly, which makes fast action essential if a city, county, or state vehicle was involved.
