If someone else's carelessness put you in the hospital, you should not be the one absorbing the cost. Our attorneys represent injured people across the Denver metro area and throughout Colorado, and we handle the insurance company so you can focus on recovering.
A serious injury does not stay in one lane. It becomes missed work, a stack of bills arriving faster than answers, physical therapy that eats the rest of your week, and a family adjusting around you. We take that full picture into account when we value a case, not just the emergency room invoice.
Cases We Handle
- Car accidents: rear-end and intersection collisions, distracted and impaired driving, and multi-vehicle crashes.
- Truck and commercial vehicle accidents: claims involving federal motor carrier regulations, driver logs, and corporate defendants with aggressive defense counsel.
- Motorcycle accidents: including cases where the insurer leans on rider bias to discount the claim.
- Pedestrian and bicycle collisions: crosswalk and bike lane cases, hit-and-run claims, and incidents involving poorly designed or maintained roadways.
- Rideshare accidents: Uber and Lyft claims, where coverage depends on the driver's status at the moment of the crash.
- Premises liability: slip and fall, inadequate security, and unsafe property conditions under Colorado's premises liability statute.
- Dog bites and animal attacks: Colorado applies strict liability for serious bodily injury from a dog bite in many circumstances.
- Catastrophic injury: traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, severe burns, and injuries requiring lifetime care.
- Wrongful death: claims brought by surviving family members, including cases arising from misconduct in custody.
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims: including bad faith claims against your own insurer when it refuses to pay what the policy owes.
What You Can Recover
- Medical expenses, past and future, including surgery, therapy, medication, and assistive equipment.
- Lost wages, lost benefits, and reduced future earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Permanent physical impairment and disfigurement.
- Property damage, including vehicle repair or replacement and a rental while you are without a car.
- Household and personal care services you now need help with.
- Punitive damages where the conduct was willful or wanton, such as a drunk driving crash.
Colorado Rules That Shape Your Claim
Comparative fault: Colorado uses modified comparative negligence with a 50 percent bar. If you are found 20 percent responsible, your award is reduced by 20 percent. If you are found 50 percent or more responsible, you recover nothing. Expect the insurer to argue for the highest fault percentage it can support.
Deadlines: two years for most injury claims, three years for motor vehicle claims, and 182 days written notice for claims against a public entity under the CGIA.
Insurance minimums: Colorado requires only 25,000 dollars per person in bodily injury liability coverage, which is frequently far less than a serious injury costs. That is why underinsured motorist coverage and every available policy layer need to be identified early.
A Warning About Insurance Adjusters
The adjuster who calls in the first days after a crash is friendly, prompt, and working for the other side. Recorded statements are used to lock in a version of events before you know the extent of your injuries. Broad medical authorizations are used to comb your history for something to blame. First offers arrive early precisely because they are low and because a signed release is final. You are not required to give the other driver's insurer a statement, and you should not sign anything before it is reviewed.
Serving the Denver Metro Area
We handle claims arising throughout Denver and the surrounding corridor, including crashes on I-25, I-70, I-225, C-470, US-36, Colfax Avenue, Federal Boulevard, Colorado Boulevard, Speer Boulevard, and Peña Boulevard, and cases in Aurora, Lakewood, Westminster, Thornton, Arvada, Englewood, Littleton, Centennial, Commerce City, Boulder, and Colorado Springs.
No Fee Unless We Recover
Your case review is free. We advance the costs of investigation and litigation, and our fee comes as a percentage of the recovery. If we do not recover for you, you owe no attorney fee.
If your injury happened in police custody or in a jail, our Civil Rights practice is likely the stronger route, and often both claims proceed together.
