Services
Car Accidents
Our car accident attorneys help clients recover compensation for injuries caused by distracted, impaired, or reckless drivers. We investigate all factors, including speeding, defective machinery, and environmental conditions, to establish liability. With Colorado's three-year statute of limitations, timely action is critical to securing medical expense coverage, lost wage reimbursement, and pain and suffering damages.
Wrongful Death
We represent families in wrongful death claims resulting from preventable tragedies like medical malpractice, vehicle collisions, and workplace accidents. Our team navigates Colorado's two-year statute of limitations to pursue economic damages for funeral costs and lost income, while advocating for non-economic compensation for emotional suffering and loss of companionship.
Truck Accidents
Truck accident cases require specialized expertise due to federal regulations and multiple liable parties. We investigate causes like driver fatigue, improper cargo loading, and mechanical failures to build strong claims against carriers and manufacturers, ensuring victims receive compensation for severe injuries and long-term care needs.
Insurance Disputes
When insurers act in bad faith by denying or delaying valid claims, we hold them accountable. Our attorneys challenge unfair practices under Colorado's Insurance Fair Conduct Act, pursuing compensation for withheld benefits, emotional distress, and punitive damages against major carriers like State Farm and Allstate.
Bicycle Accidents
Boulder's cycling community faces unique risks from motor vehicle collisions. We advocate for injured cyclists, proving liability in cases involving distracted driving and failure to yield. Our team secures compensation for medical treatment, bike repairs, and lost income while addressing comparative fault claims that could reduce recovery.

Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Colorado?
Colorado's statute of limitations is three years for motor vehicle accidents and two years for other personal injury cases. Missing these deadlines typically bars recovery.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes, under Colorado's modified comparative fault rule, you can recover damages if less than 50% at fault, though compensation reduces proportionally.
What types of damages can I recover?
Economic damages (medical costs, lost wages) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering) are recoverable, with no cap on economic damages in Colorado.
How are attorney fees handled?
We work on contingency fees, meaning you pay no upfront costs. Fees are collected as a percentage of your final settlement or verdict.
What if the insurance company denies my claim?
We challenge bad faith denials through litigation, leveraging Colorado's Insurance Fair Conduct Act to pursue withheld benefits and punitive damages against insurers.
How does the consultation process work?
We offer free, confidential consultations to evaluate case merits, explain legal options, and create personalized strategies for pursuing maximum compensation.
