Volunteer Liability

Several years ago, the Colorado legislature recognized that many public-minded individuals hesitate to volunteer their time for fear of personal liability. Consequently, in 1992, they passed the Volunteer Service Act. In summary, it states in part that:

Any volunteer shall be immune from civil liability in any action on the basis of any act or omission of a volunteer resulting in damage or injury if:

1. The volunteer was acting in good faith and within the scope of such volunteer’s official functions and duties…; and
2. The damage or injury was not caused by willful and wanton misconduct by such volunteer.

Please refer to Colorado Rev. Statute 13-21-115.5(4) for further information on this legislation.
