Available 24 / 7|Free ConsultationWas the City Negligent?
In order to bring a suit against the City of Denver, you will need to prove that the RTD bus or driver was negligent in some way. You will also need to prove that this negligence is what caused your injuries.
If you are not able to prove that the government was negligent in some way, you will likely not be able to pursue your claim against the city of Denver.

Available 24 / 7|Free ConsultationGovernmental Immunity
Broadly defined, “governmental immunity” refers to the legal doctrine and statues that provide municipalities (cities) and other local government entities immunity from tort-based claims. Each state has the power to grant cities and other political subdivisions governmental immunity, as well as determine when that immunity can be waived.
The Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, C.R.S. § 24-10-106, provides that governmental immunity is waived for the following categories:
- Operation of a motor vehicle, except emergency;
- Dangerous condition of building;
- Dangerous condition of street; and
- Operation or maintenance of public water facility, gas facility, sanitation facility, electrical facility, power facility, swimming facility.
If you are injured by an RTD bus, governmental immunity would be waived because it falls within the operation of a motor vehicle category.

If you believe that the city of Denver is responsible for your injuries, you should notify the city by filing a notice of claim within 182 days. This notice will alert the city that you are intending to sue them for your injuries.
You should submit the notice to the mayor’s office with as much supporting documentation as possible. Your notice of claim should comply with the provisions of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act notice requirements. C.R.S. § 24-10-109.
Your notice of claim must contain the following:
- Your name and address (phone number and e-mail are not required, but it is a good idea to include this information as well);
- If you are represented by an attorney, provide their name and address;
- The date, time place and circumstances of the accident;
- If any public employee was involved (like the bus driver) you should provide their name and address;
- A concise statement of the nature and extent of damages you suffered; and
- The amount of monetary damages requested (provide any bills that establish this amount to make it easier).
