Broomfield Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers Who Build Cases Sized to a Lifetime of Care

A spinal cord injury lawsuit arising from a Broomfield crash is filed in the Broomfield Combined Courts at 17 Descombes Drive, Broomfield, CO 80020, within the 17th Judicial District. Broomfield is Colorado's only consolidated city-county, so the Combined Courts handle district, county, and municipal matters in one building. Catastrophic injury cases like these involve significant jury-pool considerations and high-stakes damages arguments. CGH Injury Lawyers handles Broomfield Combined Court cases directly from our Denver office. We do not have a Broomfield office.

If the injury came from a motor vehicle crash, the deadline is three years from the date of the crash (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)). For general tort claims, the deadline is two years (C.R.S. 13-80-102). If a government entity such as the City of Broomfield or CDOT contributed through a road defect or dangerous condition, a written notice of claim must reach the entity within 182 days of the date you discovered the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)). Missing that notice forfeits the government-entity claim entirely. Because multiple deadlines can run at the same time from different trigger dates, confirm yours with an attorney as soon as possible.

Partially. Economic damages such as medical bills, future care costs, and lost wages are never capped. Non-economic damages such as pain and suffering are capped at $1,500,000 for claims accruing on or after January 1, 2025 (C.R.S. 13-21-102.5). Compensation for physical impairment and disfigurement is not capped at all under Colorado law. For a Broomfield spinal cord injury with permanent paralysis, the uncapped physical impairment category and the full economic claim together typically dwarf the non-economic cap, which is why a rigorous life care plan matters so much to the total recovery.

Often yes. Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule (C.R.S. 13-21-111). If your share of fault is less than 50 percent, you can still recover damages, though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 49 percent at fault, for example, you recover 51 percent of your damages. If you are found 50 percent or more at fault, you recover nothing. In catastrophic injury cases where lifetime damages run into the millions, insurers have a large financial incentive to push fault allocation toward 50 percent. Accident reconstruction and a clear liability theory are essential to counter that effort.

A life care plan is a document built by certified planners, typically nurses or rehabilitation specialists, that projects every future medical and non-medical need across a person's remaining life expectancy. In a legal case it becomes the foundation for economic damages. For a Broomfield SCI case, that means projecting power wheelchair replacements, attendant care at Denver-metro rates, accessible home modifications, vehicle conversions, medication, and ongoing therapy over 40 to 60 years. Without a life care plan, the insurer's number looks like the only number. With one, the real cost is on the record.
