Description
We granted certiorari to review Reider v. Dawson, 856 P.2d 31 (Colo. App. 1992), which held that the three-year statute of limitations for actions under the Colorado Auto Accident Reparations Act (No-Fault Act), § 13-80-101(1)(j), 6A C.R.S. (1987), is applicable when a party commences a civil action against a sheriff and his deputy predicated upon an automobile-pedestrian accident. In reaching this Conclusion, the court of appeals rejected the assertion that the applicable statute is section 13-80-103(1)(c), 6A C.R.S. (1987), which addresses the period of limitation when a sheriff is a defendant in an action. The court also held that because a party moving for summary judgment has the burden of establishing the lack of a triable issue of fact, it was the petitioners' burden to establish that there was no insurance on the vehicle that struck the respondent.
