  • CGH Injury Lawyers handles the full range of Arvada injury cases: bus accidents, catastrophic injuries, DUI-related crashes, motorcycle wrecks, slip and fall, and more. There is no Arvada office. We serve Jefferson County from our Denver office and come to you.
  • Most car and motorcycle injury claims must be filed within three years of the crash (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)); most other injury claims carry a two-year deadline (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(a)); claims against a public entity require written notice within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)).
  • A personal injury lawsuit in Jefferson County that exceeds the county-court limit is filed at Jefferson Combined Court (District Court), 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, CO 80401, in the First Judicial District. We try cases there directly.

Arvada is home to more than 124,000 people in Jefferson County, sitting at the junction of I-70, I-76, and Wadsworth Boulevard -- one of the most heavily traveled corners on the Front Range. That geography produces real injury risk: high-speed interchange crashes, pedestrian hazards near RTD G Line stations and Olde Town Arvada, winter black ice, and hail storms that strike more than two dozen times per year. When any of those risks leads to a serious injury, CGH Injury Lawyers manages the claim, the negotiation, and the trial, and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.

Arvada injury cases we handle

Pick the page that fits what happened to you in Arvada

Each page below covers the Colorado law, the local Arvada facts, and the strategy for that specific kind of injury claim. Start with the one that matches your case, or call us and we will point you to the right path.

Bus Crashes

Arvada Bus Accident Lawyers

The RTD G Line (Gold Line) runs three stations through Arvada -- Arvada Gold Strike, Olde Town Arvada, and Arvada Ridge/Ward Road -- generating regular bus and pedestrian traffic across the city. When a bus crash injures a passenger or a bystander, the claim often runs against a public entity, which triggers the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act and a strict 182-day notice deadline (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)). We know that clock and start the clock immediately.

Life-Changing Injuries

Arvada Catastrophic Injury Lawyers

High-speed crashes at the I-70/I-76 interchange, rollover collisions at the I-70/Wadsworth interchange (Exit 264), and multi-vehicle pileups on major Arvada arterials produce the kinds of injuries that change a life permanently: spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, severe burns, and limb loss. Patients with these injuries are often transported to Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital, Jefferson County's Level II Trauma Center, or to UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, a Level I Trauma Center. Colorado does not cap economic damages or damages for physical impairment, so the full lifetime cost of a catastrophic injury goes into the claim. We build it to that number.

See Arvada catastrophic injury cases

Drunk or Drugged Driving

Arvada DUI Accident Lawyers

Impaired driving on I-70, Kipling Street, Wadsworth Boulevard, and Ralston Road puts every other driver at risk. When a drunk or drugged driver causes your injuries, the civil claim runs parallel to any criminal case -- you do not have to wait for a conviction to pursue compensation. We pursue every available insurance policy and evaluate whether punitive damages apply to your facts.

See Arvada DUI accident cases

Falls & Property

Arvada Slip and Fall Lawyers

Black ice on elevated ramps and arterials, freeze-thaw ice cycles in Arvada parking lots, and high foot traffic at Olde Town Arvada and the Arvada Center for the Arts all create real fall hazards. We prove the property owner's failure to maintain a reasonably safe surface.

Local Knowledge

Arvada courts. Arvada trauma care. Arvada roads.

An Arvada injury case lives in Arvada: the road where it happened, the hospital that treated you, and the courthouse where your case may be filed. Here is the ground we work on.

Courthouse

Jefferson Combined Court, First Judicial District

A personal injury lawsuit in Arvada that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed at Jefferson Combined Court (District Court), located at 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, CO 80401, in the First Judicial District. Jefferson County is the primary county for Arvada; a small portion of Arvada also falls within Adams County. Local procedure, the Jefferson County jury pool, and the defense firms you face all differ from other districts. We handle Jefferson Combined Court cases directly, and we know this courthouse.

Trauma Care

Level II and Level I Trauma Centers Serving Arvada

Seriously injured Arvada residents are often transported to Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital, a CDPHE-designated Level II Trauma Center that opened a new facility in August 2024. The most severe cases may go to UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, a CDPHE-designated and American College of Surgeons verified Level I Trauma Center. Trauma records from both facilities document the full scope of your injuries and become the backbone of your damages claim.

High-Crash Roads

I-70, I-76, Wadsworth, Kipling, and Ward Road

Arvada sits at the junction of Interstate 70 and the western terminus of Interstate 76, two of the busiest freight and commuter corridors in Colorado. The I-70/Wadsworth Boulevard interchange (Exit 264) is a documented site of multi-vehicle and rollover crashes driven by high-speed ramp merges. Wadsworth Boulevard (Colorado State Highway 121) running north-south is a documented corridor for fatal hit-and-run crashes and pedestrian fatalities, with poor nighttime lighting at intersections including W 72nd Ave and W 80th Ave flagged as contributing factors. Kipling Street (SH 391 south of Arvada) carries high-speed suburban traffic with documented pedestrian and vehicle crashes. Ward Road (SH 72) transitions from an urban arterial at I-70 to a foothills grade with documented crash risk at grade changes heading north. Ralston Road, Arvada's primary east-west arterial through the central city, is another consistent source of collision claims.

The rules of the game

The Colorado law that decides what your Arvada claim is worth

Arvada 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.

Deadlines that can end a claim

  • Most car and motorcycle crash injury claims must be filed within three years of the crash (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)).
  • Most other injury claims, including slip and fall and premises cases, carry a two-year deadline (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(a)).
  • Claims against a government entity -- including RTD bus claims -- require a written notice of claim within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)). Miss it and the claim is barred.
  • Shorter or different deadlines can apply to your specific facts, so confirm yours early.

What you can recover

  • Economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and future care 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, with inflation adjustments beginning in 2028 (C.R.S. 13-21-102.5).
  • Compensation for physical impairment or disfigurement is not capped at all, which matters most in catastrophic Arvada cases.
  • 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).

Insurance adjusters know these rules better than most injured people do, and they use them. The 50-percent fault bar is exactly why insurers work hard to pin blame on you after an Arvada crash. Having a lawyer who knows how comparative negligence, the RTD public-entity notice rules, and the damages caps interact with your specific claim is how you keep the full value on the table.

Where Arvada injuries happen

The Arvada risks we see turn into injury claims

Arvada's location on the Front Range, at the intersection of two interstates and several state highways, creates a specific set of dangers. Knowing where harm tends to happen helps us build the claim and identify the responsible party.

  1. The I-70 / I-76 interchange

    I-76 reaches its western terminus at the I-70 interchange in Arvada, creating a high-volume divergence point where two interstates split. Drivers merging from one interstate to the other at highway speeds produce a consistent crash risk. These crashes regularly generate catastrophic-injury claims.

  2. I-70 / Wadsworth Boulevard (Exit 264)

    The interchange at I-70 and Wadsworth Boulevard (SH 121) is a documented site of multi-vehicle and rollover crashes. High-speed ramp merges, heavy commuter traffic, and freight trucks share confined ramp geometry. This single interchange generates a disproportionate share of Arvada serious-injury cases.

  3. Wadsworth Boulevard pedestrian corridor

    Wadsworth Boulevard (SH 121) is the primary north-south spine of Arvada. Fatal hit-and-run crashes and pedestrian fatalities have been documented along this corridor, with inadequate crosswalk infrastructure and poor nighttime lighting at intersections including W 72nd Ave and W 80th Ave identified as contributing factors. The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, which draws more than 300,000 visitors per year, sits near 6901 Wadsworth Blvd, adding substantial pedestrian volume.

  4. RTD G Line stations and Olde Town Arvada

    The RTD G Line (Gold Line) opened Olde Town Arvada Station on April 26, 2019. The line's three Arvada stops -- Arvada Gold Strike at 60th and Sheridan, Olde Town Arvada, and Arvada Ridge/Ward Road -- pull pedestrian traffic across station plazas, parking areas, and nearby streets. Olde Town Arvada's historic district adds a dense commercial and entertainment environment that raises foot-traffic crash exposure year-round.

  5. Winter ice and summer hail

    Arvada sits on the Front Range where rapid temperature swings create freeze-thaw ice cycles on elevated ramps and arterials. Black ice on I-70, I-76, and the Wadsworth and Kipling corridors is a documented crash factor each winter. Summer brings its own hazard: Arvada has recorded 25 documented on-ground hail events in the immediate area, with severe thunderstorm warnings issued 14 times in the past 12 months. Large hail and damaging winds are typical in summer afternoon storms.

  6. Ward Road foothills transition zone

    Ward Road (SH 72) runs north from I-70 Exit 266 through western Arvada and into the foothills. The rural-to-urban transition zone creates a documented crash risk where high-speed through traffic meets slower local access at foothills grade changes. Cyclists and hikers accessing the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge along SH 93 add further exposure along the western Arvada boundary.

Why CGH

Why injured people in Arvada choose CGH Injury Lawyers

Trial-ready attorneys, bilingual help, and no fee unless we win. We are honest about one thing up front: we do not keep an Arvada office. We serve Jefferson County from our Denver office and come to you. What you get is the work, not a storefront on Wadsworth Boulevard.

Trial-Ready

Built to try your case.

Managing Partner Kevin Cheney is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates and has tried over 25 cases to verdict. When attorneys are genuinely ready to try a case in Jefferson Combined Court, insurers respond differently to a demand from the start.

Full Value

No category left out.

We build the claim around every loss the law allows, including the uncapped categories -- economic damages and physical impairment -- that drive the value in serious Arvada cases.

Bilingual

Hablamos espanol.

Spanish-speaking staff and attorneys serve Arvada and Jefferson County's Spanish-speaking community at no added cost.

No Win, No Fee

After an injury

What to do after an injury in Arvada

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

  1. Get medical care

    Serious Arvada injuries are often treated at Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital, the area's Level II Trauma Center, or for the most severe cases at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, a Level I Trauma Center. Even injuries that feel minor in the moment can hide nerve damage, internal bleeding, or spinal injury. Get examined and keep every record.

  2. Document the scene

    Photograph your injuries, the vehicles or property involved, and the conditions at the time of the crash or fall -- whether that is ice on a Kipling Street sidewalk or debris on an I-70 on-ramp. Get the names and contact details of any witnesses.

  3. Watch your deadlines

    If a public entity such as RTD is involved, you have only 182 days from discovering the injury to file a formal written notice (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)). That clock runs well before the general filing deadline and before most people even realize it has started.

  4. Call before insurance does

    The at-fault party's insurer may call within days of your crash. Do not give a recorded statement or accept any offer before speaking with us. Call (303) 209-9395.

  5. We build your claim

    We locate every available insurance policy, gather the records and any crash reports, document the full injury, and value the claim across every category the law allows -- including the uncapped economic and physical-impairment categories.

  6. Negotiate or litigate

    Most cases settle. When insurers refuse a fair offer, we file in Jefferson Combined Court (First Judicial District) and try your case in front of a Jefferson County jury.

Questions

Arvada personal injury, frequently asked questions

Does CGH Injury Lawyers have an office in Arvada?

No. CGH Injury Lawyers has one office, at 2701 Lawrence St., Suite 201, Denver, CO 80205. We serve Arvada and Jefferson County clients from that office, file cases in Jefferson Combined Court (First Judicial District), and meet you wherever is convenient. You can reach us at (303) 209-9395.

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

It depends on the type of claim. Most car and motorcycle crash injury claims must be filed within three years of the crash (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)). Most other injury claims carry a two-year deadline (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(a)). If a government entity such as RTD is involved, a written notice of claim must be filed within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)) -- missing that notice bars the claim entirely. Because these deadlines run from different events, confirm yours with an attorney early.

Where would my Arvada lawsuit be filed?

A personal injury lawsuit arising out of an Arvada incident that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed at Jefferson Combined Court (District Court), 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, CO 80401, in the First Judicial District. Most cases settle before any lawsuit is filed, but where a case would be filed affects local procedure, the jury pool, and the defense firms you face. We handle Jefferson Combined Court cases directly.

Does Colorado cap what I can recover for an Arvada injury?

Economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and future care 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, with inflation adjustments beginning in 2028 (C.R.S. 13-21-102.5). Compensation for physical impairment or disfigurement is not capped at all, which is why catastrophic Arvada cases -- the kind produced by high-speed interstate crashes -- often build their value around the uncapped categories.

Can I still recover if I was partly at fault for the Arvada accident?

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 recover, though your award is reduced by your share of the fault. If you are 50 percent or more at fault, you recover nothing. This is why insurers work hard to shift blame onto you after an Arvada crash, and why having counsel who can push back on that framing matters.

What kinds of Arvada injury cases does CGH handle?
