Is Colorado a no-fault state?

I’m moving to Colorado and am trying to read up on their driving and insurance laws to prepare myself for driving. Is it a no-fault state?

No, Colorado is not a no-fault state for car insurance. They are an “at-fault” or “tort” state, meaning that whoever is at fault for an accident is responsible for covering the cost of the other party’s injuries or property damage resulting from the accident.
On top of that, drivers in Colorado can file a lawsuit for compensation for even basic medical expenses after an accident. In no-fault states, drivers are typically required to carry
personal injury protection (PIP)
to cover the cost of their accident-related medical expenses regardless of who’s at fault, but PIP is not required in Colorado.
Because the
car insurance laws in Colorado
don’t require drivers to carry additional coverage beyond
liability insurance
, it may be wise to invest in some additional
car insurance
options.
