Colorado Dog Bite Liability and Statute of Limitations

In Colorado, dog bite liability and the statute of limitations are important considerations for both dog owners and victims. McCormick & Murphy - Personal Injury Lawyers, based in Colorado Springs, can help you navigate these complex legal matters.

Dog bite liability in Colorado focuses on the "one bite rule." This means that if a dog has never bitten someone before, the owner may not be liable for the first incident. However, after that first bite, the owner becomes responsible for the dog's actions. Our experienced attorneys can help determine if you have a valid claim against a dog owner, even if the dog has never shown aggression in the past.

The statute of limitations in Colorado for dog bite cases is three years from the date of the incident. This means you have a limited time to file a lawsuit and seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Our team at McCormick & Murphy can ensure your case is filed within the appropriate timeframe and work to get you the settlement you deserve.
