How we match your Arvada personal injury case

When you submit a Arvada personal injury matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A personal injury matter needs someone who handles personal injury work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Colorado law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Colorado who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

Most Colorado personal injury attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.

Personal injury attorneys in Colorado work on a contingency fee basis — typically 33% to 40% of the total recovery. With the new $1.5M non-economic cap under HB 24-1472, skilled representation is more valuable than ever. Case expenses are typically advanced by the firm and deducted from the final recovery.

Because most of Arvada is in Jefferson County, cases are commonly filed in Jefferson County District Court in Golden, while lower-value claims can go to county court. If the incident happened in the Adams County portion of the city or in a neighboring city, another court may apply. An attorney will identify the right venue.

Colorado compares fault and allocates it among the people involved, so an adjuster will often try to shift some responsibility onto you to reduce what they pay. Photos, witness names, and the police report help push back. An attorney can build the record that keeps the fault allocation accurate.

Colorado sets filing deadlines that vary by the type of claim and by who the defendant is, and claims involving a government entity often require much earlier notice. Do not rely on a general rule you read online. A Colorado attorney can confirm the deadline that applies to your case.

Two years from the date of injury under C.R.S. § 13-80-102 for most personal injury claims. Motor vehicle injury claims get three years under C.R.S. § 13-80-101(1)(n). Wrongful death is two years under § 13-80-102(1)(d). Claims against any Colorado public entity require written notice within 182 days under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act.

Under C.R.S. § 13-21-111, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but if you are 50% or more at fault you recover nothing. Colorado is stricter than many states — it’s a 50% bar, not 51%. Combined with several liability under § 13-21-111.5, every apportionment decision matters.
