How we match your Aurora car accident case

When you submit a Aurora car accident 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 car accident matter needs someone who handles car accident 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 crashes in Aurora lead to cases filed in Arapahoe County courts, though accidents in the northern part of the city may belong in Adams County and some defendants can be sued in Denver. Many claims settle with insurers first. An attorney will determine the right venue if a lawsuit is needed.

Colorado reduces your compensation by your percentage of fault, and if you are found 50 percent or more responsible you recover nothing, which is stricter than most states. Insurers know this and push blame onto injured drivers. An Aurora attorney gathers evidence to keep your share of fault accurate and low.

Yes. Claims against a government entity in Colorado require a formal written notice within roughly six months of the injury, far sooner than the normal lawsuit deadline, and mistakes in that notice can end the claim. Contact an attorney immediately if any public vehicle or agency was involved in your Aurora crash.

Three years from the date of the crash for personal injury and property damage claims under C.R.S. § 13-80-101(1)(n). If the crash involved a city, county, or state vehicle, you may have to file a formal notice of claim within 182 days under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act. Don’t wait — evidence, witness memory, and surveillance footage all degrade fast.

You pursue the at-fault driver and their liability insurer directly. Colorado dropped its no-fault PIP system in 2003. If you contributed to the crash, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and if you’re 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. That 50% bar is the single biggest reason adjusters fight to push blame onto you.
