No fee unless we winIt's More Than Money.
Aurora is Colorado's third-largest city, home to roughly 410,000 residents and spanning Arapahoe, Adams, and Douglas counties. It carries some of the state's most dangerous road corridors, including I-225 and the stretch of East Colfax that CDOT targeted for safety improvements, and it sits adjacent to two Level I trauma centers on the Anschutz Medical Campus. When one of Aurora's documented risks turns into a serious injury, you do not have to face the insurance company alone. CGH Injury Lawyers manages the claim, the negotiation, and the trial, and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Each page below covers the Colorado law, the local facts, and the strategy for that specific kind of Aurora injury claim. Start with the one that matches your case, or call us and we will point you to the right path.
Falls & Property
Aurora winters bring sudden freezes and black ice across parking lots, sidewalks, and commercial properties throughout the city. Stanley Marketplace, the Anschutz Medical Campus, and Aurora's high-traffic retail corridors all generate slip-and-fall exposure. We prove what the property owner failed to do and what that failure cost you.

Falls are only one kind of premises case. Inadequate security, broken stairs, poor lighting, and other dangerous conditions on Aurora apartment complexes, medical campus facilities, commercial centers, and retail properties all fall under Colorado's premises liability law. We identify every responsible party and the insurance behind them.

A spinal cord injury from a crash on I-225 or I-70 changes a life and runs into lifetime medical costs. These are the cases where building the claim around a detailed life-care plan matters most, because Colorado does not cap economic damages or damages for physical impairment. We handle the medical proof, the expert work, and the full lifetime value.

From I-225 to East Colfax, Aurora crash corridors are among Colorado's most dangerous. We pursue the at-fault driver and every available policy.
Head Injury
Traumatic brain injuries hide in plain sight. We document the full impact, not just the ER visit.
When a Life Is Lost

Browse all practice areasAn Aurora injury case lives in Aurora: 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
Aurora spans three counties: most of the city falls in Arapahoe County, where civil personal-injury lawsuits are filed in Arapahoe County District Court, 18th Judicial District, at the Arapahoe County Justice Center, 7325 S. Potomac Street, Centennial, CO 80112 (open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., (303) 645-6600). Incidents in the Adams County portion of Aurora are filed in Adams County District Court, 17th Judicial District, Brighton. We handle both.
Trauma Care
Aurora is home to UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, a Level I Trauma Center verified by the American College of Surgeons and designated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, located on the Anschutz Medical Campus at E. 16th Avenue and Fitzsimons Parkway. The campus also houses Children's Hospital Colorado, the only Level I Regional Pediatric Trauma Center in the region. Trauma records from these facilities document the full scope of your injuries and become the backbone of your damages claim.
High-Crash Roads
Aurora's road network is defined by four major corridors. I-225 is a 12-mile interstate connecting I-25 in Denver to I-70 in Aurora, spanning Adams, Arapahoe, and Denver counties, and has been the site of repeated serious and fatal crashes. I-70 crosses Aurora east-west, with the Tower Road interchange (Exit 286) as a key access point; its eastern corridor carries heavy commercial truck traffic. East Colfax Avenue (US Highway 40 / US Highway 287) runs as a primary arterial through Aurora, and CDOT specifically targeted its intersections at Chambers Road and I-225 for safety improvements due to collision frequency. E-470 is a 46.4-mile eastern toll beltway serving Aurora and providing access to Denver International Airport.
Aurora 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.
Insurance adjusters know these rules better than most injured people do, and they use them. The 50-percent fault bar is exactly why insurers fight hard to pin blame on Aurora crash victims. Having a lawyer who knows how the comparative negligence rule and the damages caps apply to an Aurora case is how you keep the full value of your claim on the table.
Aurora's geography, size, and traffic patterns create a specific set of dangers. Knowing where harm tends to happen helps us build the claim and find the responsible party.
I-225 is a 12-mile interstate corridor that connects I-25 in Denver to I-70 in Aurora, running through Adams, Arapahoe, and Denver counties. I-225 is one of Colorado's most dangerous urban corridors, and multiple serious multi-car crashes have been reported on this stretch in 2025 and 2026. These are the crashes that produce catastrophic injuries and wrongful death claims.
East Colfax Avenue (US Highway 40 / US Highway 287) runs as a major east-west arterial through Aurora and carries heavy vehicle volume daily. CDOT launched a specific intersection safety improvement project targeting Colfax at Chambers Road and Colfax at I-225 because collision frequency at both locations was high enough to draw agency attention.
I-70 crosses Aurora east-west, and the stretch from Tower Road toward Pena Boulevard carries high-speed commercial truck traffic. Semi-truck crashes are a recurring hazard on this corridor. Buckley Space Force Base, with its daily commuter traffic through the Peoria Street gate, adds another dense traffic concentration in east Aurora.
The Anschutz Medical Campus at E. 16th Avenue and Fitzsimons Parkway is a dense medical complex generating heavy employee, patient, and delivery vehicle traffic daily. High pedestrian and vehicle volumes on the campus perimeter roads create recurring crash and injury risk for workers, visitors, and patients traveling to and from the area.
Aurora sits in Colorado's hail alley, with documented severe hail events occurring regularly throughout the spring and summer months. Large hail reduces visibility, damages vehicles mid-drive, and creates slick road surfaces. Overnight winter freezes from November through March generate black ice on I-225, I-70, and East Colfax that has produced serious crashes across multiple seasons.
Trial-ready attorneys, bilingual help, and no fee unless we win. We are honest about one thing up front: we do not keep an Aurora office. We serve Aurora and Arapahoe County from our Denver office and come to you. What you get is the work, not a storefront on Colfax.
Trial-Ready
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 Arapahoe County District Court, insurers respond differently to a demand.
Honest About Location
Our office is at 2701 Lawrence St., Suite 201 in Denver. We do not pretend to have an Aurora address. We represent Aurora and Arapahoe County clients, file in the 18th Judicial District, and meet you where it works for you.
Full Value
We build the claim around every loss the law allows, including the uncapped categories that drive serious-injury value.
Bilingual
Spanish-speaking staff and attorneys serve Aurora's Spanish-speaking community throughout Arapahoe County.
No Win, No Fee
You pay nothing out of pocket for legal fees. We advance costs and collect only from a settlement or verdict.
One Standard
Whether your case settles in a month or goes to an Arapahoe County jury, the same trial-ready team and the same standard of preparation apply. We do not run a settlement mill. We prepare every case as if it will be tried.
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.
Serious injuries in Aurora are often treated at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital or Children's Hospital Colorado, both Level I trauma centers on the Anschutz Medical Campus. Even injuries that feel minor can hide nerve or spinal damage. Get examined and keep every record, because those records are the foundation of your claim.
Photograph your injuries, the vehicles or property, and the conditions, whether it is black ice on a parking lot or a hazard on I-225. Get the names and contact details of any witnesses before they leave.
A claim involving an Aurora public entity or city vehicle may require formal written notice within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)), well before the general filing deadline. The clock starts before most people realize it.
The at-fault party's insurer may call quickly. Do not give a recorded statement or accept any offer before speaking with us. Call (303) 209-9395.
We locate every available insurance policy, gather the records and any reports, document the full injury, and value the claim across every category the law allows, including the uncapped categories for economic loss and physical impairment.
Most cases settle. When insurers refuse a fair offer, we file in Arapahoe County District Court at the 18th Judicial District and try your case.
I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!

No. CGH Injury Lawyers has one office, at 2701 Lawrence St., Suite 201, Denver, CO 80205. We serve Aurora and Arapahoe County clients from that office, file Aurora cases in Arapahoe County District Court (18th Judicial District), and meet you wherever is convenient. You can reach us at (303) 209-9395.
It depends on the type of claim. Most car and motorcycle crash injury claims must be filed within three years (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)). Most other injury claims, including many slip and fall and premises cases, carry a two-year 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)). Because these deadlines run from different events, confirm yours with an attorney early.
Aurora spans three counties. An incident in the Arapahoe County portion of Aurora is filed in Arapahoe County District Court, 18th Judicial District, at 7325 S. Potomac Street, Centennial, CO 80112. An incident in the Adams County portion of Aurora is filed in Adams County District Court, 17th Judicial District, Brighton. Most cases settle before any lawsuit is filed, but where a case would be filed affects the local rules, the jury pool, and the defense firms you face. We handle cases in both courts.
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 Aurora cases often build their value from the uncapped categories.
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 exactly why insurers work to shift blame onto you after an Aurora crash or fall, and why having counsel who can push back matters.
We handle the full range of Aurora personal injury matters: car and motorcycle crashes, slip and fall, premises liability, spinal cord and other catastrophic injuries, brain injury, and wrongful death.
