Claim Process & Instructions

To file a claim with the State of Colorado, you must:

1. Complete the attached form and return it to the address listed at the top of the page. You may fill in
the form on line, but you must print out the form in order to send it to the Attorney General’s Office
(AGO). Please use the arrow keys to navigate through the fields in the form. Do not use the enter
key.

2. Provide as much detail as possible about the incident, especially the location where it happened; e.g.
highway traveling on, direction traveling, lane traveling in, mile marker or nearest exit, streets at a
specific intersection, city, county, or nearest landmark. Please provide an approximate dollar amount
of damages.

3. After your claim has been received at the Attorney General’s Office for filing, it will be forwarded to
the State Office of Risk Management. An insurance adjuster will be assigned to investigate your claim.

4. If any further information or documentation is needed from you, the adjuster will contact you.
Investigation of your claim may take an additional 4 - 6 weeks from the time you mail your form to the
AGO.

5. Once liability has been established, the insurance adjuster will contact you by phone or mail,
depending on the nature of your incident.
 If your claim is denied you will receive a letter in the mail.
 If the State accepts liability, an Adjuster will contact you for estimates and send a release for
payment. A check will be mailed to you approximately 2 weeks from the date you send the
signed release to the Adjuster.

https://osc.colorado.gov/liability-claims to check on the status of your claim or call SORM at
