  • Most car-crash injury claims in Colorado must be filed within three years of the crash (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)). Most other injury claims carry a two-year filing 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)).

Longmont is a city of approximately 102,866 people in Boulder County, built at the crossroads of US 287 and several high-crash state highways. Traffic volume, documented intersection hazards, and periodic severe weather create real injury risk for drivers, pedestrians, and property visitors every day. When someone else's carelessness causes that harm, CGH Injury Lawyers manages the claim, the negotiation, and the trial. You pay nothing unless we recover for you.

Unsafe Premises

Longmont Premises Liability Lawyers

Property owners in Longmont owe visitors a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. Broken flooring, poor lighting, inadequate security, defective stairs, and other hidden hazards at commercial properties, apartment complexes, and public spaces can produce serious injuries. We identify every responsible party and the insurance behind them, and we press the claim at every stage under Colorado's premises liability statute.

See Longmont premises liability cases

Crashes

See car accident cases

Head Injury

Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries are often invisible in the first days after a crash or fall. We document the full neurological impact and build the lifetime cost into your claim.

Catastrophic Injury

Spinal Cord & Catastrophic

Colorado does not cap economic damages or compensation for physical impairment. A detailed life-care plan built on real projections is the cornerstone of a catastrophic injury recovery.

When a Life Is Lost

Wrongful Death

If a Longmont crash, dangerous property, or another person's negligence took someone you love, we handle the claim with care and resolve.

Local Knowledge

Longmont courts. Longmont trauma care. Longmont roads.

A Longmont injury case lives in Longmont: the road where it happened, the hospital that treated you, and the courthouse where the lawsuit may be filed. Here is the ground we work on.

Courthouse

Boulder County Combined Court, Longmont (20th Judicial District)

A Longmont civil personal-injury lawsuit that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed in the 20th Judicial District of Colorado. The courthouse for Longmont cases is the Boulder County Combined Court at 1035 Kimbark St, Longmont, CO 80501, reachable at (720) 564-2522. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The 20th Judicial District handles civil claims over $15,000, including personal injury cases. Local procedure, the jury pool, and the defense firms you face differ from other counties, and we handle 20th Judicial District cases directly.

Trauma Care

Longmont United Hospital (CommonSpirit Health)

Longmont United Hospital at 1950 Mountain View Ave, Longmont, CO 80501 is designated a Level III Trauma Center by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and is also certified as a DNV Comprehensive Stroke Center. When a Longmont crash, fall, or premises incident sends someone to Longmont United, those trauma records become the backbone of the damages claim. We work directly with the hospital's records and billing systems to build a complete medical picture of your injury from day one through projected future treatment.

High-Crash Roads

US 287, SH 119, SH 66, SH 52, and Downtown Longmont

US Highway 287 runs through Longmont as Main Street, an undivided highway corridor where CDOT data shows approximately 830 crashes per year on the Erie-to-Boulder County line segment, accounting for 29 percent of all fatal crashes in Boulder County, with no median barrier between northbound and southbound lanes. Colorado State Highway 119, known locally as Ken Pratt Boulevard and the Diagonal Highway, carries the highest rate of severe crashes per mile in unincorporated Boulder County and connects Longmont with Boulder at high vehicle speeds. The intersection of US 287 and SH 119, identified by Longmont traffic engineers as the city's highest-crash intersection, recorded over 290 crashes in a recent five-year period and handles more than 70,000 vehicles per day. SH 66 and SH 52 add additional arterial traffic through the city. Downtown Longmont, the Main Street commercial corridor, and the areas near Boulder County Fairgrounds and Vance Brand Municipal Airport generate additional traffic and pedestrian exposure.

The rules of the game

The Colorado law that decides what your Longmont claim is worth

Longmont 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 for any Longmont case.

Deadlines that can end a Longmont claim

  • Most car and motorcycle crash injury claims must be filed within three years of the crash (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)).
  • Most other injury claims, including many premises liability and slip and fall cases, carry a two-year filing deadline (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(a)).
  • Claims against a government entity, including a city or county vehicle or property, require a written notice of claim within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)). Missing that notice bars the claim entirely, regardless of how strong the facts are.
  • Shorter or different deadlines can apply depending on the facts, so confirm yours with an attorney as early as possible after an injury.

What you can recover in a Longmont injury case

  • Economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and future care costs are never capped under Colorado law.
  • 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 matters most in serious crash cases on corridors like US 287 and SH 119.
  • Under Colorado's modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover if you were partly at fault, but recovery is barred if you are 50 percent or more at fault (C.R.S. 13-21-111).

Insurance adjusters know these rules far better than most injured people do. The 50 percent fault bar is the single most common tool insurers use to argue you should recover nothing. On US 287 or at a commercial property in Longmont, they will look for any reason to say you share the blame. Having a lawyer who knows exactly how comparative negligence, the damages caps, and the government-notice requirements apply to your specific facts is how you keep the full value of your Longmont claim on the table.

Where Longmont injuries happen

The Longmont risks we see turn into injury claims

Longmont's road network, geography, and weather create a specific set of documented dangers. Knowing where harm tends to happen helps us identify the responsible party and build the claim.

  1. US 287 (Main Street) Undivided Highway

    US 287 runs through Longmont as Main Street without a median barrier between northbound and southbound lanes. CDOT data shows the Erie-to-Boulder County line segment averages approximately 830 crashes per year and accounts for 29 percent of all fatal crashes in Boulder County. Head-on and left-turn collisions are an elevated risk on this corridor. When they happen, the severity is high.

  2. SH 119 (Ken Pratt Blvd / Diagonal Highway) and the US 287 Intersection

    SH 119 carries the highest rate of severe crashes per mile in unincorporated Boulder County and connects Longmont with Boulder at unpredictable high speeds. The intersection of US 287 and SH 119 has been identified by Longmont traffic engineers as the city's most dangerous intersection, with over 290 crashes recorded in a recent five-year period and more than 70,000 vehicles per day passing through it.

  3. Flash Flooding Along St. Vrain Creek

    The City of Longmont officially lists floods and flash floods as a primary natural hazard. St. Vrain Creek and local drainages can produce rapid flood events with little warning. Flooded roads reduce visibility and traction for all vehicles, raising crash and premises-slip risk simultaneously, particularly in areas adjacent to drainage corridors.

  4. Winter Weather: Snow, Ice, and Hail

    Longmont maintains a Winter Weather Road Report because snowstorms and ice are an official designated hazard by the City of Longmont Office of Emergency Management. The area has also recorded 63 on-the-ground hail reports by trained spotters. Icy surfaces on Longmont roads and commercial properties create both crash liability and slip-and-fall premises liability each winter season.

  5. High-Traffic Zones: Downtown, Fairgrounds, and the Airport

    Downtown Longmont along Main Street and the US 287 corridor is a high-volume commercial and pedestrian traffic zone with concentrated foot and vehicle traffic. The Boulder County Fairgrounds generates periodic surge traffic for large events. Vance Brand Municipal Airport at 229 Airport Road brings small-aircraft and flight-training activity to the north side of the city. Each of these zones creates elevated exposure for pedestrian, property, and vehicle incidents.

After an injury in Longmont

What to do after you are hurt in Longmont

Take care of your health first, protect the evidence, then call before you talk to the insurer. Here is the path we walk with every Longmont client.

  1. Get medical care

    Serious Longmont injuries are often treated at Longmont United Hospital, 1950 Mountain View Ave, a Level III Trauma Center designated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Even injuries that feel minor can hide nerve or spinal damage. Get examined, follow every treatment recommendation, and keep every record.

  2. Document the scene

    Photograph your injuries, the vehicles or property, the road conditions, and anything that contributed to the crash or fall, whether it is ice on a commercial walkway or a poorly marked hazard. Get the names and contact details of any witnesses before they leave.

  3. Know your deadlines

    A Longmont claim involving a public entity, including a city road defect or a government vehicle, may require a formal written notice within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)), far earlier than the main filing deadline. The clock starts earlier than most people realize.

  4. Call before insurance does

    The at-fault party's insurer may call within days of the incident. Do not give a recorded statement or accept any offer before speaking with us. Call (303) 209-9395 from anywhere in Longmont or Boulder County.

  5. We build your claim

    We locate every available insurance policy, gather records and reports, document the full injury, and value the claim across every category the law allows, including the uncapped categories that carry the most weight in serious Longmont cases.

  6. Negotiate or litigate

    Most cases settle. When insurers refuse a fair offer, we file at the Boulder County Combined Court in Longmont, 1035 Kimbark St, and try your case in the 20th Judicial District.

Questions

Longmont personal injury, frequently asked questions

Does CGH Injury Lawyers have an office in Longmont?

No. CGH Injury Lawyers has one office, at 2701 Lawrence St., Suite 201, Denver, CO 80205. We serve Longmont and Boulder County clients from that office, file Longmont cases at the Boulder County Combined Court in Longmont, and meet you wherever is convenient. You can reach us at (303) 209-9395.

Where would my Longmont lawsuit be filed?

A Longmont civil personal-injury case that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed in the 20th Judicial District of Colorado at the Boulder County Combined Court, 1035 Kimbark St, Longmont, CO 80501, (720) 564-2522. The court handles civil claims over $15,000, including personal injury cases. Most cases settle before any lawsuit is filed, but where a case would go affects local rules, the jury pool, and the defense firms on the other side. We file and try 20th Judicial District cases directly.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Longmont?

The deadline 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 premises liability cases, carry a two-year deadline (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(a)). If a government entity is involved, you must file a written notice of claim within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)) or the claim is barred entirely. Because these deadlines start from different events, confirm yours with an attorney as soon as possible.

Which Longmont hospital would treat a serious injury?

Longmont United Hospital at 1950 Mountain View Ave, Longmont, CO 80501 is the area's designated trauma facility, classified as a Level III Trauma Center by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and also certified as a DNV Comprehensive Stroke Center. Those trauma records document the full scope of your injuries and are the foundation of your damages claim. We work with those records from the start of every serious Longmont case.

Does Colorado cap what I can recover for a Longmont injury?

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 serious Longmont crash cases, particularly those on US 287 or SH 119, often build their core value from the uncapped categories.

Can I recover if I was partly at fault for a Longmont accident?

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 share of the fault. If you are 50 percent or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurers know this rule well and use it aggressively on busy Longmont corridors like US 287 and SH 119, where facts can be disputed. Having a lawyer who can challenge fault assignments matters.

What kinds of Longmont injury cases does CGH handle?

We handle the full range of Longmont personal injury matters: premises liability, car and motorcycle crashes, slip and fall, spinal cord and other catastrophic injuries, brain injury, rideshare accidents, and wrongful death. Start with the Longmont service page that fits your case, browse our practice areas, or call (303) 209-9395 for a straight answer about which path applies to you.
