More details to this question:
Recently paid a visit to a doctor's office at a hospital where they have complimentary valet parking there was damage done to my vehicle that I did not notice until I left the premises so when I went back I spoke with the manager of valet parking who was very rude so I ended up having to speak with the head of security and I asked him to review the security footage from the parking garage so what I'm trying to find out is if I have the right to view that as well

Rigth now you haven't asserted any sort of claim, so you have no more rightst han any other member of the public to view hte footage which, unles there is some statute in Colorado which allows you to do so (I doubt it, but it's possible) is none. If, however, you start a lawsuit allegeing negligence, you would then have the right to view the footage as part of discovery in that suit. Under certain circumstances, you are also allowed to take discovery before filing suit, but I don't know if you can do that in CO, or what the requirements would be.
