How we match your Broomfield medical malpractice case

When you submit a Broomfield medical malpractice 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 medical malpractice matter needs someone who handles medical malpractice 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 medical malpractice attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.

Medical malpractice attorneys in Colorado work on a contingency fee basis — typically 33% to 40% of the total recovery. Because HB 24-1472 raised damages caps starting January 1, 2025, valuations have shifted meaningfully upward — skilled representation matters more than ever. Case costs are advanced by the firm and deducted from the recovery only if the case wins.

If the negligent care occurred in Broomfield, the case is generally filed in Broomfield County District Court. If you were treated at a hospital in Boulder, Adams, or Jefferson County, that county's district court may be the proper venue instead. An attorney will confirm venue based on where the care was delivered.

Yes. Colorado requires expert support confirming that a provider's care fell below the accepted standard before a malpractice claim proceeds. That review takes time, which is one reason people are urged to contact a lawyer early rather than close to a deadline.

Colorado sets filing deadlines that vary depending on the type of claim, when the injury was discovered, and the age of the patient. Because a missed deadline ends the case, have a Colorado attorney confirm the exact one that applies to your situation.

Two years from when the injury was or should have been discovered under C.R.S. § 13-80-102.5, with a 3-year absolute statute of repose from the act or omission. Limited exceptions for foreign objects and minors apply. Claims against public providers (Denver Health, UCHealth) require 182-day notice under C.R.S. § 24-10-109.

Under C.R.S. § 13-20-602, the plaintiff must file a certificate of review within 60 days of service of the complaint, certifying that a qualified expert has reviewed the case and that the claim has substantial justification. Failure to file results in dismissal. The expert’s identity does not need to be disclosed in the certificate itself.
