  • Most car-crash injury claims in Colorado must be filed within three years of the crash (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)). Most other injury and premises liability claims carry a two-year filing deadline (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(a)). Claims against a government entity require written notice within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)).

Superior is a city of approximately 13,896 people in Boulder County, situated along the US-36 corridor between Denver and Boulder. Its location at the edge of the Colorado Front Range, its growing Rock Creek residential neighborhoods, and its experience as one of the communities most affected by the December 2021 Marshall Fire mean that Superior residents face a distinctive set of injury risks. When someone else's carelessness or a property owner's failure to act causes harm, CGH Injury Lawyers manages the claim, the negotiation, and the trial. You pay nothing unless we recover for you.

Superior injury cases we handle

Pick the page that fits what happened to you in Superior

Each page below covers the Colorado law, the local Superior and Boulder County facts, and the strategy for that specific kind of claim. Start with the one that matches your situation.

Fire Losses and Premises

Marshall Fire Premises and Wrongful Death Claims

The December 2021 Marshall Fire destroyed large portions of Superior and the surrounding Rock Creek and Marshall Road areas. Claims arising from that fire can involve premises liability, wrongful death, and questions about utility or infrastructure responsibility. Colorado law governs all of these theories, and the facts of each individual loss determine which path to recovery is strongest. We evaluate these claims carefully, applying verified law, not assumptions, to the specific facts your family experienced.

See premises liability cases

Crashes

Car and Motorcycle Accidents

US-36 and McCaslin Boulevard carry heavy commuter traffic through and around Superior every day. Rear-end crashes, lane-change collisions, and intersection accidents on these corridors can produce serious injuries. We pursue the at-fault driver and every available insurance policy after a Superior crash, from the initial demand through trial in Boulder County court if needed.

See car accident cases

Head Injury

Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries are often invisible in the first days after a crash or fall. We document the full neurological impact and build the lifetime cost into your claim, including uncapped compensation for physical impairment.

Catastrophic Injury

Spinal Cord and Catastrophic

Colorado does not cap economic damages or compensation for physical impairment. A detailed life-care plan built on real projections is the cornerstone of a catastrophic injury recovery in any Superior case.

When a Life Is Lost

Wrongful Death

If a Superior crash, fire-related property failure, or another person's negligence took someone you love, we handle the claim with care and resolve. The non-economic cap for wrongful death in Colorado for claims accruing on or after January 1, 2025 is $2,125,000.

Local Knowledge

Superior courts. Superior trauma care. Superior roads.

A Superior injury case lives in Superior: the road or property where it happened, the hospital that treated you, and the courthouse where the lawsuit may be filed. Here is the ground we work on.

Courthouse

Boulder County District Court (20th Judicial District)

A Superior civil personal-injury lawsuit that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed in the 20th Judicial District of Colorado at the Boulder County District Court, 1777 Sixth St., Boulder, CO 80302. The 20th Judicial District covers all of Boulder County, including personal injury and wrongful death matters. Superior sits entirely within Boulder County, so every serious Superior injury claim that goes to litigation lands in this court. We handle 20th Judicial District cases directly.

Trauma Care

Foothills Hospital (Boulder) and Longmont United Hospital

Superior does not have its own acute-care hospital. Foothills Hospital in Boulder is approximately eight miles from central Superior and is the nearest full-service hospital for many crash and injury victims in the area. Longmont United Hospital is approximately 14 miles away and provides additional care for Boulder County residents. When a Superior crash, fall, or fire-related injury sends someone to one of these facilities, the resulting trauma records and treatment notes become the foundation of the damages claim. We work with medical records from both hospitals to build a complete picture from first treatment through projected future care costs.

High-Crash Roads

US-36, McCaslin Boulevard, and Rock Creek Road

US Highway 36 runs directly through Superior and serves as the primary commuter artery connecting Boulder County communities to the Denver metro. At peak travel times this corridor carries high-speed, high-volume traffic, with lane merges and abrupt deceleration near the McCaslin Boulevard interchange creating documented crash exposure. McCaslin Boulevard is the principal north-south arterial through Superior, connecting the Rock Creek residential neighborhoods to US-36 and to Louisville to the north. The Rock Creek Road corridor feeds Superior's interior neighborhoods and sees significant local traffic, pedestrian movement, and bicycle use near the Rock Creek Community Park and trailhead areas.

The rules of the game

The Colorado law that decides what your Superior claim is worth

Superior injury claims run on Colorado statutes, not local rules. A few of them quietly decide whether you recover at all and how much. Here are the ones that matter most for any Superior case.

Deadlines that can end a Superior claim

  • Most car and motorcycle crash injury claims, including crashes on US-36 and McCaslin Boulevard, must be filed within three years of the crash (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)). This three-year period also applies to bicycle and pedestrian injuries caused by a motor vehicle.
  • Most other injury and premises liability claims carry a two-year filing deadline (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(a)). This is the deadline relevant to many slip and fall and property-condition claims that do not involve a motor vehicle.
  • Claims against a government entity, including city or county roads, government vehicles, or public property, require a written notice of claim within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)). Missing that notice bars the claim entirely, regardless of how strong the facts are. The clock starts from the date you discover the injury, not necessarily the date it occurred.

What you can recover in a Superior injury case

  • Economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and future care costs are never capped under Colorado law. In a serious Superior crash or catastrophic injury case, documented future medical and wage losses can be the largest component of the recovery.
  • Non-economic damages such as pain and suffering are capped at $1.5 million for claims accruing on or after January 1, 2025, with inflation adjustments beginning in 2028 (C.R.S. 13-21-102.5). This cap does not apply to medical malpractice or wrongful death claims.
  • Compensation for physical impairment or disfigurement is not capped at all under Colorado law (C.R.S. 13-21-102.5(5)). In serious crash or fire-injury cases, this is often where the highest value lies.
  • In a wrongful death case, the non-economic cap for claims accruing on or after January 1, 2025 is $2,125,000 (C.R.S. 13-21-203(1)(a)). If the death was caused by a felonious killing, there is no cap.
  • Under Colorado's modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover if you were partly at fault, but recovery is barred if you are 50 percent or more at fault (C.R.S. 13-21-111). Insurers use this rule aggressively on US-36 and on crash scenes with disputed facts.

Insurance adjusters know these rules far better than most injured people do. The 50 percent fault bar is the single most common tool insurers use to argue you should recover nothing. On US-36 or at a commercial property in Superior, they will look for any reason to say you share the blame. Knowing how comparative negligence, the damages caps, and the government-notice requirements apply to your facts is how you keep the full value of your Superior claim on the table.

Where Superior injuries happen

The Superior risks we see turn into injury claims

Superior's location on the US-36 corridor, its Rock Creek neighborhoods, and the ongoing aftermath of the 2021 Marshall Fire create a specific set of documented injury risks.

  1. US-36 Commuter Corridor Crashes

    US Highway 36 passes directly through Superior and is one of the busiest commuter highways in the Denver-Boulder corridor. High approach speeds, frequent lane changes near the McCaslin interchange, and peak-hour congestion combine to create conditions for rear-end, sideswipe, and merge-point crashes. Crash severity is elevated because vehicles travel at highway speed, and the injuries that result often require treatment at Foothills Hospital or Longmont United Hospital.

  2. McCaslin Boulevard Intersection and Arterial Accidents

    McCaslin Boulevard is the primary north-south arterial through Superior, connecting the Rock Creek neighborhoods to US-36 to the south and Louisville to the north. As the main access road for thousands of Rock Creek residents, McCaslin carries concentrated stop-and-go traffic at key hours, with intersection crossings that mix commuters, delivery vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. Left-turn accidents at signalized intersections along McCaslin are a familiar pattern in high-traffic suburban arterials, and pedestrian and cyclist exposure is elevated near the Rock Creek Community Park and trailhead areas.

  3. Marshall Fire Aftermath: Premises, Wrongful Death, and Utility Claims

    The December 2021 Marshall Fire was one of the most destructive wildfires in Colorado history, burning through Superior, Louisville, and unincorporated Boulder County. Large portions of Superior's Rock Creek neighborhood and the area near Marshall Road suffered severe damage. The fire produced personal injury and wrongful death claims involving questions of premises liability, property owner responsibility, and potential utility or infrastructure liability. These are complex claims that require careful fact investigation. Applicable deadlines depend on the theory of recovery and when you discovered the injury or its cause. Call us to confirm your timeline.

  4. Rock Creek Area Pedestrian and Trail Incidents

    The Rock Creek community in Superior includes extensive trail networks, parks, and open space areas that draw pedestrian and cycling traffic year-round. Injuries on shared paths, in parking areas adjacent to parks, and at commercial properties within the Rock Creek development can give rise to premises liability claims when a property owner failed to maintain a safe condition. Snow and ice accumulation during Colorado winters compounds the risk on sidewalks, parking lots, and trail access points.

  5. Construction Zone and Active Development Hazards

    Post-Marshall Fire rebuilding has added active construction zones throughout Superior along McCaslin Boulevard, Rock Creek Road, and near rebuild sites. These zones create new traffic patterns, temporary lane configurations, and pedestrian detours that increase crash and injury exposure. When a construction-zone crash or worksite injury is caused by a contractor's failure to follow proper safety procedures, Colorado law provides a path to recovery.

After an injury in Superior

What to do after you are hurt in Superior

Take care of your health first, protect the evidence, then call before you talk to the insurer. Here is the path we walk with every Superior client.

  1. Get medical care

    Serious Superior injuries are often treated at Foothills Hospital in Boulder, approximately eight miles from central Superior, or at Longmont United Hospital, approximately 14 miles away. Even injuries that feel minor can hide nerve or spinal damage. Get examined promptly, follow every recommendation, and keep every record.

  2. Document the scene

    Photograph your injuries, the vehicles or property, the road or site conditions, and anything that contributed to the crash or fall. On US-36 or McCaslin Boulevard, traffic camera footage and crash data recorders may preserve evidence for only a short window. On a premises liability or fire-related claim, conditions and documentation can change quickly. Get witness names and contact details before they leave.

  3. Know your deadlines

    A Superior claim involving a public entity requires a formal written notice within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)), far earlier than the main filing deadline. For Marshall Fire claims that involve public infrastructure or government property, this deadline may be critical. The clock starts from when you discovered the injury, not when the fire occurred.

  4. Call before insurance does

    The at-fault party's insurer may call within days of the incident. Do not give a recorded statement, sign any document, or accept any offer before speaking with us. An early offer is almost always far below the full value of the claim. Call (303) 209-9395 from anywhere in Superior or Boulder County before you respond to any insurer.

  5. We build your claim

    We locate every available insurance policy, gather all medical records and reports, document the full injury from first treatment through future projections, and value the claim across every category the law allows, including the uncapped categories that carry the most weight in serious cases.

  6. Negotiate or litigate

    Most cases settle before trial. When insurers refuse a fair offer, we file at the Boulder County District Court, 1777 Sixth St., Boulder, CO 80302, and try the case in the 20th Judicial District. Our managing partner has tried over 25 cases to verdict.

Superior personal injury, frequently asked questions

Does CGH Injury Lawyers have an office in Superior?

No. CGH Injury Lawyers has one office, at 2701 Lawrence St., Suite 201, Denver, CO 80205. CGH Injury Lawyers does not have a Superior office. We serve Superior and Boulder County clients from our Denver office, file Superior cases at the Boulder County District Court in Boulder, and meet you wherever is convenient, including at your home in Superior. You can reach us at (303) 209-9395.

Where would my Superior injury lawsuit be filed?

A Superior civil personal-injury case that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed in the 20th Judicial District of Colorado at the Boulder County District Court, 1777 Sixth St., Boulder, CO 80302. Superior sits entirely within Boulder County, so every Superior case lands in this court. Most cases settle before any lawsuit is filed, but where a case would go affects the jury pool and the defense firms you face. We file and try 20th Judicial District cases directly.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Superior?

The deadline depends on the type of claim. Most car and motorcycle crash injury claims on US-36 or McCaslin Boulevard must be filed within three years (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)). Most premises liability and slip-and-fall claims carry a two-year deadline (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(a)). If a government entity is involved, you must file a written notice of claim within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)) or the claim is barred entirely. Confirm your specific deadline with an attorney as soon as possible after a Superior injury.

Which hospital would treat a serious injury in Superior?

Superior does not have its own acute-care hospital. Foothills Hospital in Boulder is approximately eight miles from central Superior and is typically the nearest full-service facility for Superior crash and injury victims. Longmont United Hospital is approximately 14 miles away and provides additional care for Boulder County residents. Records from both hospitals form the foundation of the damages claim, and we work with them from the start of every serious Superior case.

Does Colorado cap what I can recover for a Superior injury?

Economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and future care costs are never capped. Non-economic damages such as pain and suffering are capped at $1.5 million for claims accruing on or after January 1, 2025 (C.R.S. 13-21-102.5). Compensation for physical impairment or disfigurement is not capped at all (C.R.S. 13-21-102.5(5)), which is where serious crash and fire cases often carry the most weight. In a wrongful death case, the non-economic cap is $2,125,000 for claims accruing on or after January 1, 2025 (C.R.S. 13-21-203(1)(a)).

Can I still recover if I was partly at fault for an accident in Superior?

Often yes. Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule (C.R.S. 13-21-111). If you are less than 50 percent at fault, you can still recover, though your award is reduced by your share of the fault. If you are 50 percent or more at fault, you recover nothing. On US-36 and McCaslin Boulevard, where facts can be disputed after a crash, having a lawyer challenge fault assignments accurately is essential. Call us before you accept any insurer's characterization of fault.
