Common Questions About Medical Malpractice in Denver

Where are Medical Malpractice cases filed in Denver?

Denver cases are filed at the Alfred A. Arraj U.S. Courthouse (901 19th Street) for federal matters, or the Denver City and County Building for state claims. Denver serves as the healthcare hub for the Rocky Mountain region.

What is Colorado's damage cap for medical malpractice?

Colorado caps non-economic damages at $300,000 in medical malpractice cases (with limited exceptions for catastrophic injury). Total damages including economic losses can exceed this cap. Federal Medical Malpractice claims may have different rules.

Does being treated in Denver from another state affect a case?

Yes — Denver is a regional medical hub, so many patients travel from surrounding states for care. This creates questions about which state's statute of limitations and damage caps apply. An experienced Denver attorney can determine the proper jurisdiction for a case.
