What Sets Our Injury Lawyers Apart
Recovering from an accident is hard enough without adding legal stress to the equation. We exist to shoulder that burden while you concentrate on healing.
No Upfront Costs or Hidden Fees
We work on contingency, which means you pay nothing out of pocket to hire us. Our fee comes only from the compensation we recover for you. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. This approach ensures that quality legal representation is accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances.
Personal Attention From Start to Finish
Large firms often juggle hundreds of cases simultaneously, leaving clients feeling ignored and confused about their case status. We intentionally limit our caseload so your attorney can give your case the time and focus it deserves. You’ll work with lawyers who actually know the details of your situation and keep you informed throughout the process.
A+ Rated Client Service
We maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and our clients consistently mention our responsiveness and clear communication in their five-star ratings for us. When you call or email, you get answers. When you have questions, we take the time to explain things in plain language.
Complete Team Support
When you hire our firm, you gain access to over 100 professionals dedicated to personal injury cases. This includes experienced litigators, accident investigators, medical documentation experts, and support staff who ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Proven Results in Complex Cases
We’ve successfully resolved more than 6,500 injury claims, ranging from straightforward vehicle collisions to catastrophic injuries requiring expert testimony and aggressive litigation. We know how to build compelling cases and aren’t intimidated by well-funded opponents.
CASE RESULTS
How We Handle Your Injury Claim
Our process is designed to maximize your recovery while minimizing the stress on you.
Free Consultation
We meet with you to discuss what happened, review any evidence you have, and provide an honest evaluation of your case. There’s no cost and no obligation.
Investigation
We dispatch investigators to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and document the accident scene. We obtain police reports, medical records, and any other documentation that supports your claim.
Medical Documentation
Our team works with your healthcare providers to ensure your injuries are thoroughly documented. We may consult with medical experts who can explain the severity of your injuries and your future treatment needs.
Demand and Negotiation
We prepare a detailed demand package presenting evidence of liability and damages, then negotiate aggressively with insurance adjusters. Most cases settle at this stage, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
Litigation When Necessary
If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we file a lawsuit and pursue your case through the court system. Our trial attorneys have successfully represented injury victims before Colorado juries and aren’t afraid to fight for what you deserve.

Compensation Available After an Injury
Colorado law allows injury victims to recover several types of damages. The specific compensation available depends on the facts of your case, but common categories include:
Medical Expenses
Emergency room treatment, hospital stays, surgery, prescription medications, physical therapy, rehabilitation, medical equipment, home health care, and future medical costs related to your injuries.
Lost Income and Earning Capacity
Wages you’ve missed during recovery, lost bonuses and benefits, and reduced earning ability if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or working at full capacity.
Property Damage
Costs to repair or replace your vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle, or other damaged property.
Pain and Suffering
Physical pain, emotional distress, mental anguish, anxiety, depression, and the overall reduction in your quality of life caused by the accident and injuries.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
Compensation for activities and hobbies you can no longer participate in due to your injuries.
Permanent Disability and Disfigurement
Additional compensation for lasting physical limitations, scarring, and permanent changes to your appearance or abilities.
Loss of Consortium
In some cases, your spouse may recover damages for the loss of companionship, affection, and support resulting from your injuries.
Our attorneys carefully calculate the full value of your claim, accounting for both immediate losses and long-term consequences of your injuries.
Steps to Take After Getting Injured
The actions you take immediately following an accident can significantly impact your ability to recover fair compensation.
Get Medical Attention Right Away
Even if you don’t feel seriously injured, see a doctor as soon as possible. Some injuries don’t show symptoms immediately but can worsen without treatment. Prompt medical care protects your health and creates documentation linking your injuries to the accident.
Report the Incident
Call 911 for accidents involving vehicles so police can document the scene and file an official report. For other types of accidents, report the incident to the appropriate party, such as property managers for slip and falls or supervisors for workplace injuries.
Document Everything
Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, damaged property, and any conditions that contributed to the incident. Get names and contact information from witnesses. Save any physical evidence, like torn clothing or broken equipment. Write down your recollection of what happened while the details are fresh.
Preserve All Medical Records
Keep copies of every medical bill, prescription, treatment plan, and doctor’s note related to your injuries. Track all medical appointments and the impact of your injuries on daily activities.
Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters
Insurance companies often contact injury victims quickly, hoping to obtain recorded statements or secure low-ball settlements before victims understand the full extent of their injuries. Politely decline to give detailed statements and refer them to your attorney.
Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer
The sooner you hire an attorney, the sooner they can start protecting your rights and gathering evidence. Insurance companies assign adjusters and lawyers to your claim immediately. You deserve professional representation from the start too.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
Delaying action on your injury claim can jeopardize your right to compensation.
Colorado’s Two-Year Statute of Limitations
Colorado law generally gives you two years from your injury date to file a personal injury lawsuit. There are some exceptions depending on the type of case, but missing the applicable deadline means losing your right to compensation permanently. Insurance companies know these deadlines and sometimes delay negotiations hoping you’ll run out of time.
Evidence Has a Short Shelf Life
Critical evidence disappears quickly. Surveillance footage gets recorded over. Physical conditions at accident scenes change. Witnesses move away or forget important details. The sooner you start your case, the more evidence your attorney can preserve.
Medical Treatment Creates Time-Sensitive Documentation
Gaps between the accident and your first medical visit, or between treatments, give insurance companies ammunition to argue your injuries aren’t serious. Seeking prompt medical care and following treatment plans strengthens your claim.
Insurance Companies Start Building Their Defense Immediately
Adjusters begin investigating and developing defense strategies within hours of learning about an accident. The longer you wait to hire legal representation, the bigger advantage you give them.
Proving Negligence in Injury Cases
To recover compensation, you must prove that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. This requires demonstrating four elements:
Duty of Care
The at-fault party owed you a legal duty to act reasonably. For example, drivers owe other road users a duty to follow traffic laws and drive safely.
Breach of Duty
The at-fault party violated that duty through action or inaction. Running a red light, failing to clear ice from a sidewalk, or ignoring safety regulations are all breaches of duty.
Causation
The breach directly caused your injuries. You must show that your injuries resulted from the defendant’s negligent conduct, not some other cause.
Damages
You suffered actual harm, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or property damage.
Our attorneys investigate thoroughly to gather evidence supporting each element of your claim. This may include police reports, witness statements, expert testimony, video footage, medical records, and accident reconstruction analysis.
Colorado’s Modified Comparative Negligence Rule
Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence system, which affects how much compensation you can recover if you share any fault for the accident.
You can still recover damages if you’re partially at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. However, if you’re 50% or more at fault, you can’t recover anything.
For example, if your total damages are $100,000 and you’re found 20% at fault, you can recover $80,000. If you’re 50% or more at fault, you receive nothing.
Insurance companies often try to exaggerate victims’ fault to reduce payouts. Our attorneys know how to counter these tactics and ensure the facts are presented accurately to minimize any fault attributed to you.

FAQs
Do I really need to hire a personal injury lawyer?
You can file a claim on your own, but having experienced legal representation significantly improves your chances of recovering fair compensation. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize payouts. Without legal representation, you’re at a major disadvantage during negotiations. An attorney handles the entire claims process, investigates liability, gathers evidence, calculates the full value of your damages, and negotiates aggressively on your behalf. This allows you to focus on recovery while professionals protect your legal rights and financial interests.
How much does hiring your firm cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, which means our fee comes only from the compensation we recover for you. If we don’t win your case, you pay us nothing. We also offer free consultations, so there’s no cost to speak with us and learn about your options. During your consultation, we’ll explain our fee structure clearly so you understand exactly how payment works if we take your case.
How long does a personal injury case take in Denver?
Every case is different. Some settle within a few months, while others take a year or longer, particularly when injuries are severe or liability is disputed. Several factors affect timing: the severity of your injuries, how long treatment takes, the strength of available evidence, and the insurance company’s willingness to negotiate fairly. Our priority is securing full and fair compensation, not rushing to close your case. We’ll keep you informed about realistic timelines based on your specific situation.
What is my case worth?
The value depends on many factors: the severity of your injuries, total medical expenses, how much work you’ve missed, future medical needs, the degree of pain and suffering you’ve experienced, any permanent disability or disfigurement, and who was at fault. During your free consultation, we can review your situation and provide a realistic assessment of your case’s potential value. We calculate damages carefully to ensure we’re pursuing compensation that truly reflects all your losses.
What if the other party doesn’t have insurance?
You may still have options. Depending on your situation, compensation might be available through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, the at-fault party’s personal assets, or other applicable insurance policies. We evaluate every potential source of recovery and pursue all available avenues for compensation.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes, as long as you’re not more than 50% responsible. Colorado’s modified comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages even when you share some fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. For example, if you’re awarded $50,000 but found 30% at fault, you receive $35,000. If you’re 51% or more at fault, you can’t recover anything. Insurance companies often try to inflate your fault percentage to reduce their payout, which is why skilled legal representation matters.
What if I didn’t go to the doctor right away?
You can still pursue a claim, though delayed treatment can complicate your case. Many injuries don’t show symptoms immediately, so seeking medical care days after an accident is common and understandable. That said, seeing a doctor as soon as symptoms appear is important for both your health and your claim. It creates documentation connecting your injuries to the accident. If you haven’t sought treatment yet, do so now and then contact our firm to discuss your situation.
Will I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle through negotiation without going to trial. However, preparing your case for trial is essential to achieving a strong settlement. Insurance companies make better offers when they know your attorney is fully prepared to present the case to a jury. If settlement negotiations fail and the insurance company refuses fair compensation, we’re ready to take your case to court. We have significant trial experience and aren’t intimidated by courtroom proceedings.
How do I pay my medical bills while my case is pending?
This depends on your situation. Your health insurance may cover treatment initially, subject to reimbursement from any settlement you receive. Some medical providers agree to defer payment until your case resolves and accept payment from the settlement proceeds. In some cases, medical liens can be arranged. We can discuss your specific circumstances and help coordinate with medical providers when appropriate.
What information should I bring to my consultation?
You don’t need to bring anything to speak with us, but any documents you already have can be helpful. This might include accident or police reports, photos or videos from the scene, medical records or bills, insurance correspondence, and witness contact information. If you don’t have these items yet, that’s fine. We can help you obtain necessary documentation after your consultation. The most important thing is to contact us as soon as possible so we can start protecting your rights.
