Personal Injury Exhibits in Colorado: FAQ

How does comparative negligence work in Colorado PI cases?

Colorado uses modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar. Plaintiffs can recover if less than 50% at fault, with damages reduced by their percentage of fault. Prepare exhibits addressing fault allocation.

What is the file size limit for Colorado e-filing?

ICCES has a 20 MB per file limit. For larger exhibits, split into multiple parts and label clearly (e.g., "Medical Records Part 1 of 3").

What exhibit numbering does Colorado use?

Colorado typically uses numbers (1, 2, 3...) for plaintiff exhibits and letters (A, B, C...) for defendant exhibits. Check your specific court's local rules.

Are there special requirements for Denver District Court?

Denver District Court follows CRCP procedures with specific division practices. Check the assigned division's requirements for pretrial deadlines and exhibit exchange procedures.

How do ski injury cases affect exhibit preparation in Colorado?

Colorado's Ski Safety Act provides operator immunity for inherent ski risks. Prepare exhibits distinguishing inherent risks from operator negligence to overcome assumption of risk defenses.
