No fee unless we winIt's More Than Money.
Littleton is a city of roughly 45,652 people sitting at the crossroads of some of the most crash-concentrated corridors on the Front Range. US-85 (Santa Fe Drive), C-470, and the surrounding network carry heavy commuter and freight loads through the city every day. When one of those roads, or any other condition in Littleton, puts you in the hospital, CGH Injury Lawyers steps in. We manage the claim, handle the insurance company, and try the case when we have to. You pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Each page below covers the Colorado law, the local Littleton facts, and the legal strategy for that specific type of injury claim. Start with the one that matches your case, or call us and we will point you in the right direction.
Public Transit Crashes
Bus accidents on Littleton's busy corridors -- including US-85 and C-470 -- can involve public entities with their own notice deadlines and damage caps under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act. Miss the 182-day written notice requirement and the claim is gone. We handle the CGIA rules and pursue every source of coverage from day one.
See Littleton bus accident casesWhen the Driver Fled
A driver who flees the scene creates a documentation crisis for the injured person. Colorado's uninsured motorist coverage exists precisely for hit-and-run victims, and the insurance company's own policy is often the primary source of recovery. We locate every available layer of coverage -- your own policy, the at-fault vehicle if later identified, and any third-party liability -- and fight the claim as aggressively as any other. Do not assume a fleeing driver means no recovery.

Motorcyclists on C-470, US-85, and Wadsworth Boulevard (SH-121) face the same left-turn conflicts and merging hazards that make those roads dangerous for everyone -- except the rider absorbs the impact directly. Littleton motorcycle crashes routinely produce fractures, road rash, and traumatic brain injuries that require long-term care. We build the claim around the full lifetime cost, not just the ambulance bill.

Pedestrians on the South Platte River Trail crossings, near Arapahoe Community College, and along the US-85 corridor face real exposure from distracted and speeding drivers. We pursue the full value of the claim.

Traumatic brain injuries hide in plain sight after a crash. We document the full impact -- not just the emergency room visit -- and build the claim around the long-term picture.

If a Littleton crash or dangerous condition took someone you love, we handle the claim with care and determination.

Browse all practice areasA Littleton injury case lives in Littleton: 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 Littleton civil personal-injury lawsuit that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed in the 18th Judicial District, Arapahoe County District Court. That court operates at two locations: the Arapahoe County Courthouse at 1790 West Littleton Blvd, Littleton, CO 80120, and the Arapahoe County Justice Center at 7325 S. Potomac Street, Centennial, CO 80112. The local rules, the jury pool, and the defense firms you face differ from other jurisdictions. We handle 18th Judicial District cases at both locations directly.
Trauma Care
Serious injuries in Littleton are often treated at AdventHealth Littleton (formerly Littleton Adventist Hospital), located at 7700 South Broadway, Littleton, CO. AdventHealth Littleton is a Level II Trauma Center designated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in April 2004, and verified by the American College of Surgeons in October 2005. The trauma records generated at this facility document the scope of your injuries and form the backbone of your damages claim. We obtain and analyze every relevant medical record from the first visit forward.
High-Crash Roads
Littleton sits at the intersection of some of the most dangerous roads on the Front Range. US-85 (Santa Fe Drive) is a documented high-crash corridor with 2,282 crashes recorded from 2016 to 2018 on that single corridor, a rate CDOT attributes to congestion, left-turn conflicts, and freight traffic. C-470 (the Centennial Freeway) carries high-speed commuter traffic with short on-ramps and off-ramps that force aggressive merging and produce rear-end collisions during peak hours. Wadsworth Boulevard (SH-121) and US-285 (Hampden Avenue) carry the rest of the city's through-traffic load. When a crash happens on any of these roads, the physical evidence -- camera footage, crash reports, roadway data -- disappears quickly. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can preserve it.
Littleton 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, and they use them against unrepresented injured people every day. The 50-percent fault bar, in particular, is why insurers fight hard to assign blame to crash victims. Having a lawyer who knows exactly how Colorado's comparative negligence rule and the damages framework apply to a Littleton case is how you keep the full value of your claim on the table from the first phone call forward.
Littleton's roads, geography, and weather create a specific set of dangers. Knowing where harm tends to happen helps us identify responsible parties and build the claim.
CDOT data shows 2,282 crashes on this single corridor between 2016 and 2018 -- an above-average rate driven by congestion, frequent left-turn conflicts, and heavy freight traffic. The corridor runs through Littleton past Arapahoe Community College (5900 S. Santa Fe Drive) and alongside the South Platte River corridor, generating both vehicle and pedestrian exposure at every signalized intersection and driveway cut.
C-470 (the Centennial Freeway) is a high-speed bypass route serving the south and west sides of the metro area. Its interchange with I-25 features short on-ramps and off-ramps that compress merging distances and produce rear-end and sideswipe collisions at peak hours. C-470 also connects to the Chatfield State Park entrance -- a reservoir and trail system that draws more than one million visitors per year and spikes weekend traffic on the SH-121 / Wadsworth Boulevard approach.
The South Platte River Trail is a regional multi-use path connecting Littleton to downtown Denver and Waterton Canyon. Trail crossings create documented bicycle-vehicle and pedestrian-vehicle conflict points along the US-85 corridor. A driver who fails to yield at a trail crossing can cause severe injury to cyclists and pedestrians who have no means of protecting themselves from a vehicle moving at speed.
Doppler radar has recorded 92 documented hail events at or near Littleton. Rapid Front Range temperature swings create freeze-thaw black ice on the elevated bridge decks of C-470 and on expressway segments of US-85 -- surfaces that drain poorly and remain icy long after the surrounding roadway clears. Front Range wind gusts exceeding 50 mph and Red Flag Warning conditions along the I-25 urban corridor further reduce driver control, particularly for motorcyclists and high-profile vehicles.
AdventHealth Littleton at 7700 S. Broadway is a major medical campus that generates high-volume vehicle traffic on South Broadway around the clock. Emergency vehicle activity, frequent left-turn conflicts at campus entrances, and congestion from medical appointments combine to make this stretch one of the more consistently busy arterials in the city.
Trial-ready attorneys, bilingual help, and no fee unless we win. We are honest about one thing up front: we do not keep a Littleton office. We serve Littleton from our Denver office and come to you. What you get is the legal work, not a local storefront.
Trial-Ready
Managing Partner Kevin Cheney is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates and has tried more than 25 cases to verdict. When attorneys are genuinely ready to try a case in Arapahoe County District Court, insurance companies respond differently to a demand letter.
Honest About Location
Our office is at 2701 Lawrence St., Suite 201 in Denver. We do not pretend to have a Littleton address. We represent Littleton clients, file cases in Arapahoe County District Court, and meet you where it works for you. The legal work is what matters -- not the ZIP code on the door.
Full Value
We build every claim to include each loss the law allows -- especially the uncapped categories that drive serious-injury value, like economic damages and compensation for physical impairment.
Bilingual
Spanish-speaking staff and attorneys serve the Littleton community. You do not need to navigate a legal claim in a second language.
No Win, No Fee
You pay nothing out of pocket for legal fees. We advance the costs and collect only if we recover for you.
One Standard
Whether your Littleton case settles in a month or goes to an Arapahoe County jury, the same trial-ready team and the same level 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 insurance company. Here is the path we walk with every Littleton client.
Serious Littleton injuries are often treated at AdventHealth Littleton, the Level II Trauma Center at 7700 S. Broadway. Even injuries that feel minor -- neck soreness, headache, numbness -- can mask nerve or spinal damage that worsens over days. Get examined right away and keep every record and discharge instruction you receive.
Photograph your injuries, the vehicles, the road conditions, and any nearby camera locations. Get the names and contact information of witnesses. On US-85, C-470, or any commercial corridor, business and traffic cameras may have captured the crash -- that footage often overwrites within 24 to 48 hours.
If a bus, municipal vehicle, or other government entity was involved in your crash, you may have only 182 days from the date you discovered the injury to file a written notice of claim (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)). That deadline applies long before the general filing deadline and is a jurisdictional requirement -- miss it and the claim against the public entity is gone.
The at-fault party's insurer may contact you within hours of a crash. Do not give a recorded statement or accept any settlement offer before speaking with an attorney. Recorded statements are used to lock in low-damage narratives. Call (303) 209-9395 first.
We locate every available insurance policy, gather crash reports and camera footage, secure AdventHealth Littleton medical records, and value the claim across every damage category the law allows -- including the uncapped categories that matter most in serious-injury cases.
Most cases settle. When insurers refuse a fair offer, we file in Arapahoe County District Court and try your case in the 18th Judicial District. We prepare every case as if trial is the destination.
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 Littleton clients from that office, file cases in Arapahoe County District Court, and meet you where it is convenient. You can reach us at (303) 209-9395.
It depends on the type of claim. Colorado gives you three years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit for injuries from the use or operation of a motor vehicle (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 government entity require a written notice within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)) -- that is a jurisdictional prerequisite. Because these deadlines run from different trigger events, confirm your specific deadline with an attorney as early as possible.
A Littleton civil personal-injury lawsuit that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed in the 18th Judicial District, Arapahoe County District Court. That court operates at two locations: the Arapahoe County Courthouse at 1790 West Littleton Blvd, Littleton, CO 80120, and the Arapahoe County Justice Center at 7325 S. Potomac Street, Centennial, CO 80112. Where the case is assigned affects the local rules, the jury pool, and the defense lawyers you face. We handle 18th Judicial District 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 (C.R.S. 13-21-102.5(5)), which is why catastrophic Littleton cases often build their highest 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 still recover -- though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 50 percent or more at fault, you recover nothing. This is exactly why insurers push hard to assign blame to injured people, and why having counsel who can counter that narrative matters from the start.
We handle bus accidents, hit-and-run crashes, motorcycle collisions, pedestrian accidents, car crashes, spinal cord and catastrophic injuries, brain injuries, and wrongful death matters.
