A serious collision on I-225 or E-470 often leads to an aggressive push from insurance adjusters to settle before your medical prognosis is even clear. At Arckey & Steele, we provide the essential defense against these early-offer strategies. By intentionally limiting our caseload, we ensure your file is scrutinized by a partner who understands the specific jury dynamics of Arapahoe and Adams Counties. We don’t run a settlement assembly line; we build trial-ready strategies focused on the nuances of Colorado negligence law to position you for maximum recovery.
Every personal injury claim is a unique challenge, but our approach remains the same. We choose cases carefully and prepare each one for trial from the start. We won’t let insurance companies control the timeline. Over the past thirty years, we have secured multi-million dollar settlements for individuals and families affected by car accidents, serious injuries, and wrongful death. We have built our reputation not by handling large volumes of cases but by putting in more effort than our opponents. We don’t define our firm’s success by how many clients we take on, but by the significant impact of the checks we deliver.

We don’t take every case that comes our way. We concentrate only on claims that involve serious, life-altering damages. The stakes are too high for a quick settlement approach. Our process begins with a thorough look at your medical situation. We ensure we are fighting not just for your current bills, but also for the care you will need down the road.
Bicyclists are especially vulnerable on Denver roadways. Many of our clients come to us unsure whether they have a claim. Our law firm defends cyclists injured by reckless drivers and dangerous road conditions and works to establish the full value of their medical expenses.
People usually contact us after car accidents because they need help navigating a complex process that often includes medical visits, work absences, and insurance company demands for rapid responses. Even minor car accidents can result in injuries that worsen over time. Our role is to step in early, protect your interests, and work to understand all consequences from the accident.
Motorcyclists are often unfairly blamed after an accident, even when another driver caused the crash. We work with injured riders whose cases require pushing back against assumptions and focusing on the facts. Because motorcycle injuries are often severe, these claims demand close attention from the start.
Vehicle collisions with pedestrians often result in permanent changes to their lives. Our law firm defends pedestrians injured in crosswalks, intersections, and parking facilities by establishing liability and securing full recovery, rather than accepting inadequate initial settlements.
Serious harm can happen when large trucks are involved in wrecks. And these accidents are rarely straightforward, often involving multiple defendants, federal regulations, and aggressive defense teams. We handle truck accident claims with a focus on early investigation and careful preparation, especially when serious injuries are involved.
Some injuries permanently change a person’s life. Our practice often handles cases that result in severe brain injuries and spinal cord damage, and other life-altering injuries that usually need assessment of future medical expenses, quality of life, and long-term care requirements.
Dog attacks result in permanent physical injuries and emotional trauma, particularly for children. Our team assists victims in obtaining compensation for medical expenses, scarring, and trauma, while handling these cases with both care and complete discretion.
Property owners need to maintain their properties in a safe condition that protects everyone who uses them. The failure of these systems to function properly can lead to dangerous situations and severe accidents. Our law firm defends clients who have suffered injuries due to hazardous conditions and thoroughly analyzes all factors that led to their accident.
Property owners have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe and free of hazards that could cause someone to slip, trip, or fall. When dangerous conditions like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor maintenance are overlooked, serious injuries can result. Our firm represents individuals harmed in slip-and-fall accidents and conducts a thorough investigation to identify the conditions that led to the incident and hold the responsible parties accountable.
The loss of a loved one due to negligence is devastating. Our law firm defends families who have lost loved ones through wrongful death incidents by delivering both respect and determined legal assistance to achieve their goals of financial security and legal responsibility.

Trial-Ready Advocacy for Victims of Aurora Injuries
Insurance adjusters in the Aurora area are known for offering low settlements shortly after a crash on I-225 or E-470. They often make these offers before you understand the long-term impact of your injury. When a fair settlement isn’t available, you need more than a negotiator. You need a trial lawyer who is respected in the Arapahoe County Justice Center and the Adams County courts. Our partners have spent over two decades fighting cases in Colorado. This reputation for being ready for trial is what really pushes insurance companies to negotiate. We don’t just ask for better terms; we show them why we are prepared to take the case to a verdict.
The Statutory Clock: How Long Do You Have to Act?
In Aurora, your opportunity to seek justice is governed by strict “statutes of limitation.” For motor vehicle accidents, you typically have three years to file a claim. For most other claims, like a slip and fall or a dog attack, you only have two years. These are firm deadlines, not suggestions. If you miss them by even one day, your right to recovery is gone for good. We encourage victims to seek legal help early. This action not only helps you beat the clock but also preserves surveillance footage and digital evidence from the scene, which often disappears in the busy environment of Aurora weeks after an accident.
Maximize your Recovery
How Much Compensation Can I Get After an Accident?
A settlement shouldn’t just cover the balance on your current ER bill. We look at the full impact of the accident, from financial losses to the personal effects, to make sure your recovery reflects your true situation.
Colorado law allows for different types of damages, and we gather evidence for each one to strengthen your claim:
Economic Damages: we work with financial experts to calculate not only your current medical bills and lost wages but also the long-term effects on your ability to earn if your injury stops you from returning to your usual job.
Non-Economic Recovery: this covers the human cost. In Aurora courts, we strive to measure pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment in life, such as not being able to enjoy the city’s parks or your favorite hobbies.
Physical Impairment & Disfigurement: these are different categories under Colorado law and often aren’t limited by the same damage caps as general pain and suffering. We make sure that permanent scarring or disability is documented with medical specialists to secure the highest compensation possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Aurora, CO
Yes. Navigating the Arapahoe County Justice Center or the Adams County courts requires an attorney familiar with local judicial procedures and the specific insurers active in the Aurora area.
In Aurora, you generally have three years for motor vehicle accidents and two years for other injury claims like slip-and-falls. Missing these hard deadlines permanently extinguishes your right to recovery.
Figuring out which agency to contact for your accident report can be confusing in Aurora. Most collisions within the city are managed by the Aurora Police Department (APD). However, if your accident happened on a county road or a main road outside the city, the Arapahoe County Sheriff or the Adams County Sheriff may be in charge. It’s important to have an attorney who understands how to deal with different records departments. They can help you get the necessary official documents to prove liability to the insurance company.
