C.R.S. Section 12-225-112
Assumption of risk

no vicarious liability
professional liability insurance required

(1)

It is the policy of this state that registrants are liable for their acts or omissions in the performance of the services that they provide, and that no licensed physician, nurse, certified midwife, prehospital emergency medical personnel, or health-care institution is liable for any act or omission resulting from the administration of services by any registrant. This subsection (1) does not relieve any physician, nurse, certified midwife, prehospital emergency personnel, or health-care institution from liability for any willful and wanton act or omission or any act or omission constituting gross negligence, or under circumstances where a registrant has a business or supervised relationship with the physician, nurse, certified midwife, prehospital emergency personnel, or health-care institution. A physician, nurse, certified midwife, prehospital emergency personnel, or health-care institution may provide consultation or education to the registrant without establishing a business or supervisory relationship, and is encouraged to accept referrals from registrants pursuant to this article 225.

(2)

If the director finds that liability insurance is available at an affordable price, registrants shall be required to carry liability insurance.
