Boulder is a city of roughly 105,898 people pressed against the Rocky Mountain foothills, with heavy bicycle, pedestrian, and student traffic and several documented high-crash corridors. When one of those 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 Boulder injury claim. Start with the one that matches your case, or call us and we will point you to the right path.
Falls & Property
Winter ice on the foothills slopes and shaded west-side sidewalks, plus the crowds along the Pearl Street Mall, make falls a real Boulder hazard. We prove the property owner's failure to keep the surface reasonably safe.

Falls are only one kind of premises case. Inadequate security, broken stairs, poor lighting, and other dangerous conditions on apartment complexes, businesses, and rental properties around Boulder and the CU campus area all fall under Colorado's premises liability law. We identify every responsible party and the insurance behind them.

A spinal cord injury 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 US-36 to the CO-119 Diagonal, Boulder crashes are common. 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
If a Boulder crash or unsafe property took someone you love, we handle the claim with care and resolve.

Browse all practice areasA Boulder injury case lives in Boulder: 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
A Boulder civil personal-injury lawsuit that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed in Boulder County District Court, housed in the Boulder County Justice Center at 1777 6th Street, Boulder, CO 80302, in the 20th Judicial District. Local procedure, the jury pool, and the defense firms you face all differ from other counties. We handle Boulder County District Court cases directly.
Trauma Care
Boulder Community Health's Foothills Hospital at 4747 Arapahoe Avenue describes itself as an American College of Surgeons verified Level II Trauma Center and the first designated Level II Trauma Center in Boulder County. Those trauma records document the full scope of your injuries and become the backbone of your damages claim.
High-Crash Roads
US-36 (the Denver-Boulder Turnpike) enters the city as 28th Street, Boulder's main commercial corridor. CO-119 runs as Canyon Boulevard through Boulder Canyon and as the Diagonal Highway toward Longmont, a corridor CDOT documents as producing more severe crashes per mile than any other road in unincorporated Boulder County. Broadway and Foothills Highway (SH 93), Foothills Parkway (SH 157), and the Arapahoe Avenue corridor (CO-7) carry the rest of the city's traffic.
Boulder 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, in particular, is why insurers fight so hard to pin blame on you. Having a lawyer who knows exactly how the comparative negligence rule and the damages caps apply to a Boulder case is how you keep the full value of your claim on the table.
Boulder's geography 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.
CDOT documents the Boulder-to-Longmont segment of CO-119 as a high crash corridor with the highest rate of severe crashes per mile in unincorporated Boulder County, which is why the agency launched its CO 119 Safety, Mobility and Bikeway Project. These are the crashes that produce catastrophic injuries.
The University of Colorado Boulder campus and the pedestrian-only Pearl Street Mall create dense student and foot traffic. That density raises pedestrian-vehicle risk and premises risk across downtown and the campus area.
Because Boulder sits against the Rocky Mountain foothills, winter ice and snow linger on the slopes and shaded west-side streets and sidewalks. That is classic slip-and-fall and premises-liability territory.
Heavy cycling along the Boulder Creek Path, the CO-119 bikeway corridor, and narrow Boulder Canyon, with its curves and seasonal rockfall and ice, drives cyclist-vehicle collision exposure throughout the area.
Trial-ready attorneys, bilingual help, and no fee unless we win. We are honest about one thing up front: we do not keep a Boulder office. We serve Boulder County from our Denver office and come to you. What you get is the work, not a storefront on Pearl Street.
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 Boulder 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 a Boulder address. We represent Boulder County clients, file in Boulder County District Court, 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 Boulder County's Spanish-speaking community.
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 a Boulder 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 Boulder are often treated at Boulder Community Health's Foothills Hospital, the area's Level II trauma center. Even injuries that feel minor can hide nerve or spinal damage. Get examined and keep every record.
Photograph your injuries, the vehicles or property, and the conditions, whether it is ice on a sidewalk or a hazard on the road. Get the names and contact details of any witnesses.
Note that a claim involving a public entity may require formal written notice within 182 days (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.
Most cases settle. When insurers refuse a fair offer, we file in Boulder County District Court 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 Boulder County clients from that office, file Boulder cases in Boulder County District Court, 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 a written notice of claim 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.
A Boulder civil personal-injury lawsuit that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed in Boulder County District Court, in the Boulder County Justice Center at 1777 6th Street, Boulder, CO 80302, within the 20th Judicial District. 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 Boulder County District Court cases directly.
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 Boulder 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, and why having counsel who can push back matters.
We handle the full range of Boulder personal injury matters: car and motorcycle crashes, slip and fall, premises liability, spinal cord and other catastrophic injuries, brain injury, and wrongful death. Start with the Boulder page that fits your case, browse all of our practice areas, or call (303) 209-9395 for a straight answer about which path applies to you.
