Superior Personal Injury Lawyers Who Know the Sheriff Writes the Report

The Census Bureau lists Superior in both Boulder and Jefferson counties. Boulder County is the Twentieth Judicial District; Jefferson County is the First, with its courthouse in Golden.

The town adopted a home rule charter on December 10, 2024, according to its own website. If town property or a town vehicle is involved, the 182-day notice under C.R.S. 24-10-109(1) applies.

Knowing which agency wrote the report and which county the incident was in saves weeks at the start of a claim.

• Is this a case you handle regularly? Car and truck crashes, falls, dog bites, and wrongful death claims are all part of our practice.
• Who is my point of contact? You should know who answers when you call, and which attorney is responsible for the file.
• What will this cost me? Nothing up front. The fee is contingent on a recovery, and the agreement spells out how costs are handled.
• What deadlines apply to me? Colorado has several, and a claim against a public entity can require notice within 182 days.
• Do you prepare for trial? Insurers price claims partly on whether a firm will try them. Ours are built that way from the start.
• Can I speak with you in Spanish? We work in both English and Spanish.

• Whiplash and other soft-tissue injuries: proved by consistent care and a clear timeline, since imaging is often normal.
• Mild brain injuries: symptoms can be subtle and can be missed early. Neuropsychological testing and observations from people close to the injured person help.
• Ongoing pain: documented by treatment over time and the limits it places on work and activities.
• Emotional and psychological harm: supported by a qualified provider's diagnosis and treatment.
• Prior conditions made worse: before-and-after medical records are the key evidence.

Documentation is the common thread, starting with an early medical visit. For concussions and other head injuries, read the Superior brain injury page.

There is a threshold. When the injured person's share of negligence is equal to or greater than the defendant's, C.R.S. 13-21-111(3) requires judgment for the defendant.

With more than one defendant, each is generally responsible for its own percentage (C.R.S. 13-21-111.5(1)). Defendants can also blame someone outside the case, such as an unknown driver, by giving notice within ninety days after the case is filed, or longer if the court allows.

Crashes involving a company vehicle raise a related point. Under C.R.S. 13-21-111.5(1.5), an employer that acknowledges vicarious liability for its employee does not thereby shut down direct negligence claims against the employer itself.

1. Get evaluated. A serious injury may go to AdventHealth Avista in Louisville; a less obvious one still needs a doctor's visit soon after.

2. File a report with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office after a crash. C.R.S. 42-4-1606(1) makes reporting mandatory for drivers when anyone is hurt or property is damaged.

3. Photograph the scene and your injuries.

4. Ask witnesses for their contact information.

5. Start a simple log of symptoms, appointments, and missed shifts.

6. Hold off on recorded statements and early settlement offers.

Why wait on the adjuster? The insurance adjuster trap explains.

1. Case review

   , free and confidential, covering fault, injuries, insurance, and deadlines.

2. Investigation

   , including evidence that can be lost within days, such as video and vehicle data.

3. Medical record building

   while treatment runs its course.

4. Demand

   , sent when the extent of the injury is known.

5. Negotiation

   , where many claims end, on terms you approve.

6. Filing and trial

   in the Boulder County Combined Court when the insurer will not pay what the evidence supports. The trial team includes Managing Partner Kevin Cheney, an American Board of Trial Advocates member and Treasurer of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association for the 2025 to 2026 term.
