Greeley is a city of roughly 108,795 people and Weld County's seat, sitting near the Cache la Poudre River on Colorado's Front Range, just west of where it joins the South Platte River. Heavy commercial truck traffic from the JBS USA beef processing plant, complex highway interchanges at US 34 and US 85, and the dense pedestrian and vehicle activity around the University of Northern Colorado campus create conditions where serious injuries happen every day. When one of those risks takes you down, 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 Weld County local facts, and the strategy for that specific type of injury claim. Start with the one that matches your situation, or call us and we will point you to the right path.
Bicycle Injuries
Cyclists on Greeley's arterials share roads with heavy commercial trucks heading to and from the JBS USA plant, high-speed traffic on the US 34 corridor, and distracted drivers at the complex US 34 and US 85 interchange near Garden City. When a driver takes you down on your bike, we prove fault, document the full injury, and build the claim to what it is worth.

Colorado is a strict-liability dog bite state, which means you do not have to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous in order to recover. Weld County's residential neighborhoods, parks, and agricultural areas all generate dog bite claims. We hold the animal owner accountable, pursue every available insurance policy, and make sure infection costs, scarring, and emotional harm are all part of your recovery.

Dangerous conditions on Greeley's rental properties, retail spaces like the Greeley Mall, event venues including the Union Colony Civic Center and Bank of Colorado Arena, and the University of Northern Colorado campus all create premises liability exposure. Broken stairs, wet floors, poor lighting, and inadequate security can make a property owner legally responsible for what happened to you. We identify every liable party and pursue the insurance behind them.

If a Greeley crash, dog attack, or unsafe property took someone you love, we handle the claim with care and full resolve. Colorado's wrongful death law allows surviving family members to pursue economic damages, non-economic damages, and solatium.

US 34, US 85, and SH 257 carry the bulk of Greeley's traffic. When a crash injures you on those roads, we pursue every available policy.

Courthouse
A Greeley civil personal-injury lawsuit that exceeds the county-court limit is filed in Weld County District Court, which sits in the 19th Judicial District. The courthouse is at the Weld County Courthouse, 901 9th Ave, Greeley, CO 80631, with a clerk's office and filing location at the Centennial Center, 915 10th Street, Greeley, CO 80631. Local procedure, the jury pool, and the defense firms you face in Weld County all differ from other judicial districts. We handle 19th Judicial District cases directly.
Trauma Care
Banner North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley is a designated Level II Trauma Center, confirmed by Banner Health. That designation means on-call trauma surgeons and specialists are available around the clock for severe injuries. The trauma records from Banner North Colorado document the full scope of your injuries and become the backbone of your damages claim. We gather every record and make sure it is reflected in the demand.
High-Traffic Roads
US Route 34 is Greeley's primary east-west expressway, with documented dangerous intersections at 35th Avenue and near Weld County Road 17. US Route 85 is the main north-south corridor through the city. Together they meet at the "Spaghetti Junction" interchange near Garden City, a complex multi-highway interchange with a documented crash history that is the subject of a $4 million CDOT safety improvement project. State Highway 257 connects the city north-south and has been involved in fatal crashes near the US 34 and SH 257 junction. Heavy semi-truck traffic generated by the JBS USA beef processing plant on the east side of the city adds commercial vehicle hazard across local streets and roads.
Greeley 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 work so hard to pin blame on you after a Greeley crash or dog bite. Having a lawyer who knows exactly how the comparative negligence rule and the damages caps apply to a Weld County case is how you keep the full value of your claim on the table.
Greeley's geography, its highway infrastructure, and its industry create specific dangers that produce injury claims. Knowing where harm tends to happen helps us build the claim and identify the responsible party.
US Route 34, Greeley's primary east-west expressway, has documented dangerous intersections at 35th Avenue and near Weld County Road 17, where high-speed traffic mixes with commercial driveways and turning conflicts. At the city's western edge, US 34 meets US 85 at the Spaghetti Junction interchange near Garden City, a complex multi-highway crossing with a crash history significant enough to prompt a $4 million CDOT safety improvement project covering guardrails, signage, and shoulder widening.
The JBS USA beef processing plant on the east side of Greeley is one of the largest meatpacking facilities in the country and a top employer in the city. The plant generates heavy semi-truck volume on local streets and county roads. Collisions involving commercial trucks produce some of the most severe injuries we handle, and the claims often involve multiple parties, including the driver, the carrier, and the company that loaded the vehicle.
The University of Northern Colorado, with approximately 9,800 students, generates dense pedestrian and vehicle traffic on and around campus streets. Large event crowds at the Union Colony Civic Center and the Bank of Colorado Arena create additional pedestrian exposure in downtown Greeley. Foot traffic and vehicle conflict in those corridors produces both crash and premises liability claims.
Greeley sits within Colorado's Hail Alley corridor, averaging 7 to 9 hail days per year. A May 28, 2024 hailstorm buried parts of the city under more than one foot of hail, causing one fatality and creating extreme road-surface hazards, since hail on roadway acts like ice and eliminates tire traction. Front Range severe thunderstorms bring damaging winds and tornado risk every spring and summer. These weather events frequently contribute to crash injuries across the metro area.
Weld County is one of Colorado's most active agricultural counties. Farm equipment and livestock trucks share roads with passenger vehicles, particularly on the county roads surrounding Greeley. These vehicles move slowly, take up wide lanes, and create hazards that drivers unfamiliar with the area do not expect. Crashes involving agricultural equipment frequently produce severe injuries.
Trial-ready attorneys, bilingual help, and no fee unless we win. We are honest about one thing up front: we do not keep a Greeley office. We serve Weld County from our Denver office and travel to you. What you get is the work, not a storefront.
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 Weld 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 Greeley address. We represent Weld County clients, file in Weld County District Court in the 19th 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 Greeley and Weld County's large 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 Weld 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 Greeley are often treated at Banner North Colorado Medical Center, the area's Level II Trauma Center. Even injuries that feel minor can hide nerve damage or internal injury. Get examined promptly and keep every record.
Photograph your injuries, the vehicles or property, and the conditions, whether it is hail on the roadway, a hazardous intersection on US 34, or an unsafe surface inside a property. Get the names and contact details of any witnesses while they are still present.
If a public entity such as a city or county agency is involved, a written notice of claim is required within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)). That clock starts well before most people realize it. Even in non-government cases, the standard filing deadlines run from the date of the injury or the crash.
The at-fault party's insurer may contact you quickly, especially after a commercial truck crash or a dog bite. 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 medical records and any police or accident 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 Weld County District Court in the 19th Judicial District and try your case before a Weld County jury.
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 Weld County clients from that office, file Greeley cases in Weld County District Court in the 19th 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 bicycle accident, dog bite, 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 starting events, confirm yours with an attorney early.
A Greeley civil personal-injury lawsuit that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed in Weld County District Court, 19th Judicial District. The courthouse is at 901 9th Ave, Greeley, CO 80631, with a clerk's office and filing location at the Centennial Center, 915 10th Street, Greeley, CO 80631. Most cases settle before any lawsuit is filed, but where a case would be tried affects the local rules, the jury pool, and the defense firms you face. We handle 19th Judicial District cases directly.
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, 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 Greeley 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 injured people, and why having counsel who can push back on that framing matters from day one.
