By intentionally restricting our caseload, we ensure your file receives the high-level strategic scrutiny required to secure a trial-ready recovery.

Focused Personal Injury Representation in Longmont, CO
We intentionally limit the cases we take. We focus on serious injury claims where the consequences are life-changing. The risks of a quick settlement are too high. Our work starts with a careful review of your medical situation. This helps us seek compensation that covers not just your current expenses, but also the future care and financial impact you may face.
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.

Navigating the Legal Landscape in Longmont and Northern Colorado
If you are injured in Longmont, your case may be heard in either the Boulder County District Court or Weld County, depending on the exact location of the incident. This jurisdictional split is a critical detail that high-volume national firms often overlook. Winning a fair settlement in Northern Colorado requires “venue intelligence”—an understanding of local jury pools and the procedural preferences of the 20th and 19th Judicial Districts. Our partners have spent decades litigating in these courtrooms, and that local reputation is your primary leverage against insurance companies who hope you’ll settle for a “nuisance value” offer.
Why Evidence Preservation is the First Step in Litigation
In a growing city like Longmont, the most critical evidence is often digital and highly perishable. From city traffic cameras to private security networks at local business plazas, the data that proves a driver was distracted or a property owner was negligent is often erased within 48 to 72 hours. Our process involves immediate “spoliation letters” sent to all involved parties. This legal notice prevents the “accidental” deletion of dashcam footage, black-box data from commercial vehicles, or surveillance tape, ensuring the truth is preserved for your case.
Maximize your Recovery
Beyond Medical Bills: Quantifying Your True Loss
A fair recovery must account for the total “human cost” of an accident.
We perform a forensic audit of your losses, categorizing them into:
Economic Damages: Not just your current hospital bills, but projected future surgeries, physical therapy, and the long-term loss of your earning capacity if you can no longer return to your career.
Non-Economic Recovery: Quantifying the “invisible” toll of pain, suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment of life.
Physical Impairment & Disfigurement: In Colorado, these are distinct legal categories. By documenting permanent scarring or loss of function with medical specialists, we can bypass standard “pain and suffering” caps to maximize your take-home recovery.

2Forensic Evidence Seizure & Analysis
In a growing city like Longmont, the most critical evidence is often digital and highly perishable. We move immediately to issue “spoliation letters” to negligent parties, legally forcing the preservation of Hwy 119 traffic footage, commercial “black box” data, and private security video from local business plazas before it is overwritten.
3Adversarial Negotiation & Trial Positioning
We don’t negotiate based on hope; we negotiate based on your case’s readiness for a jury. We know the “settlement formulas” insurance companies use, and we exist to break them. By preparing every file as if it is headed for a verdict in Boulder or Weld County, we create the leverage necessary to force a fair offer.
4Complex Resolution & Recovery Management:
Our involvement doesn’t end when a settlement is reached. We handle the technical “final mile,” including resolving complex medical liens and clarifying the tax implications of your recovery. This ensures that the compensation you receive is protected and that you can move forward with genuine financial security.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Longmont, CO
Jurisdiction can be complex in Longmont. We analyze the specific location of the crash and the residency of the parties involved to determine the most favorable venue for your claim. Filing in the correct court is the first step in a successful litigation strategy.
Colorado law allows you to recover damages as long as you are less than 50% responsible. We focus on forensically proving the other party’s majority negligence to protect your payout from insurance “blame-shifting” tactics common in intersection accidents.
For motor vehicle accidents, Colorado’s statute of limitations is typically three years; for other personal injury claims like dog bites or slip and falls, it is generally two years. However, if a government vehicle or entity was involved, you may have as little as 182 days to file a formal notice. Early engagement is critical to protecting your right to sue.
