Westminster is a city of more than 116,000 people straddling the US-36 corridor between Denver and Boulder, with major interchanges on I-25, six state and federal highways, and heavy vehicle traffic through retail hubs like The Orchard Town Center and transit anchors like RTD Westminster Station. When Westminster's roads and properties turn dangerous, you do not have to face the insurance company alone. 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 local Westminster facts, and the strategy for that specific kind of injury claim. Start with the one that matches your case, or call us and we will point you to the right path.
Animal Attacks
Colorado holds dog owners strictly liable for bites and attacks in most circumstances. Westminster's growing residential corridors along US-36 and I-25 generate real dog-bite exposure. We establish the owner's liability and build the full injury record, from emergency treatment at St. Anthony North Hospital to lasting scarring and trauma.
See Westminster dog bite casesMotorcycle Crashes
US-36, I-25, and the Wadsworth Boulevard corridor (SH 121) are all high-speed routes where motorcycle riders face outsized danger from inattentive drivers and speed-differential merging. Multi-injury crashes on the US-36 corridor are documented. We pursue the at-fault driver and every available insurance policy, and we know how to fight the comparative negligence arguments insurers use to reduce motorcycle claims.

Federal Boulevard (US 287) at 96th Avenue and 102nd Avenue is a documented fatal pedestrian crash corridor, and the pedestrian and retail foot traffic around The Orchard Town Center and Butterfly Pavilion creates additional conflict points. Pedestrian-vehicle collisions produce some of the most severe injuries. We build the liability case and document the full impact of injuries that often involve long recovery or permanent limitation.

RTD Westminster Station draws significant rideshare activity, and the dense US-36 and I-25 corridors generate rideshare traffic around the clock. We identify which insurance tier applies based on the driver's app status at the time of the crash and pursue maximum recovery from every available source.

Traumatic brain injuries hide in plain sight after a Westminster crash or fall. We document the full neurological impact, not just the initial ER visit.

Browse all practice areasA Westminster injury case lives in Westminster: 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
Westminster sits primarily in Adams County. A Westminster civil personal-injury lawsuit that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is filed in Adams County District Court, 1100 Judicial Center Drive, Brighton, CO 80601, in the 17th Judicial District. That court's local rules, jury pool, and defense bar are what we navigate for Westminster clients. For the smaller portion of Westminster in Jefferson County, the applicable court is the Jefferson County District Court. We handle both.
Trauma Care
St. Anthony North Hospital, part of CommonSpirit Health, is the designated Level III Trauma Center serving Westminster and the surrounding North Denver metro area. A CDPHE-designated Level III center provides initial stabilization and surgical intervention for major trauma before transfer when needed. Those trauma records document the full scope of injuries sustained in Westminster crashes and become the foundation of a damages claim.
High-Crash Roads
Westminster is crossed by six named state and federal highways: I-25, US-36 (the Denver-Boulder Turnpike), US-287 (Federal Boulevard and Wadsworth Bypass), SH-128 (120th Avenue), SH-121 (Wadsworth Boulevard), and SH-95 (Sheridan Boulevard). The I-25 and US-36 interchange is a CDOT-documented crash hotspot with a steadily increasing crash rate since 2012, where rear-end collisions from congestion and speed-differential merging are the predominant crash type. Federal Boulevard (US-287) at 96th and 102nd Avenues is a documented fatal pedestrian corridor.
Westminster injury claims run on Colorado statutes, not local ordinances. A few of those statutes 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 is exactly why insurers fight hard to pin blame on you after a Westminster crash. A lawyer who knows how the comparative negligence rule and the damages caps apply keeps the full value of your claim on the table.
Westminster's geography, traffic volume, and weather patterns create a specific set of dangers. Knowing where harm tends to happen helps us build the claim and find the responsible party.
CDOT's own study documents this interchange as a crash hotspot with a steadily increasing crash rate since 2012. The predominant crash type is rear-end collisions produced by congestion and speed-differential merging. This interchange generates Westminster's most serious vehicle crash exposure, and the crash data is part of the public record we use to build liability.
The Denver-Boulder Turnpike (US-36) carries heavy commuter and truck traffic through Westminster, including the Church Ranch Business Park employment corridor. Multi-injury crashes on US-36 are documented, including a seven-car crash in June 2025. High volumes and speed differentials between trucks and passenger vehicles make this a consistent source of serious crashes.
US-287 (Federal Boulevard) through Westminster at 96th Avenue and 102nd Avenue is a documented fatal pedestrian crash corridor. High vehicle speeds and the volume of foot traffic create ongoing pedestrian risk. Pedestrian crashes on corridors like this produce catastrophic and fatal injuries, and the road design and signal history often become part of the liability picture.
Westminster sits in Colorado's Front Range "Hail Alley," one of the highest large-hail-frequency zones in North America. Damaging hail season runs mid-April through mid-August. Winter brings black ice and snow to every major corridor in the city. Weather-related crashes raise specific questions about road maintenance and driver duty that we know how to work through.
The Orchard Town Center near 144th Avenue, the Butterfly Pavilion at 6252 W. 104th Ave, and RTD Westminster Station all generate significant pedestrian and vehicle conflict. Premises liability and pedestrian injury claims arise regularly from high-density retail and transit environments where property owners and transit operators have a duty to keep the public safe.
Trial-ready attorneys, bilingual help, and no fee unless we win. We are honest about one thing up front: we serve Westminster from our Denver office. What you get is the work, not a storefront on 104th Avenue.
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 Adams County District Court, insurers respond differently to a demand for a Westminster client.
Honest About Location
Our office is at 2701 Lawrence St., Suite 201 in Denver. We do not pretend to have a Westminster address. We represent Westminster clients, file in Adams County District Court, 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 Westminster's Spanish-speaking community throughout Adams County.
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 Westminster case settles in a month or goes to an Adams 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 Westminster are often treated at St. Anthony North Hospital, the CDPHE-designated Level III Trauma Center serving the area. Even injuries that feel minor can conceal nerve, spinal, or internal damage. Get examined and preserve every record.
Photograph your injuries, the vehicles or property involved, and the specific conditions: skid marks, road defects, icy patches, animal confinement issues. Get names and contact information for any witnesses.
A claim involving a public entity, transit authority, or government-maintained road requires formal written notice within 182 days of discovering the injury (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)). That clock starts well before most people realize it.
The at-fault party's insurer may call within hours. Do not give a recorded statement or accept any offer before speaking with us. Call (303) 209-9395.
We identify every available insurance policy, gather police and crash reports, secure medical records, and value the claim across every category the law allows, including the uncapped categories that drive serious-injury cases.
Most cases settle. When insurers refuse a fair offer, we file in Adams County District Court and try your Westminster case before a 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 Westminster clients from that office, file Westminster cases in Adams County District Court, 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 dog bites and pedestrian injuries, 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 events, confirm yours with an attorney early.
Westminster sits primarily in Adams County, with a portion in Jefferson County. A Westminster civil personal-injury lawsuit that exceeds the county-court jurisdictional limit is typically filed in Adams County District Court, 1100 Judicial Center Drive, Brighton, CO 80601, within the 17th Judicial District. For incidents in the Jefferson County portion of Westminster, the case would go to Jefferson County District Court. Most cases settle before any lawsuit is filed, but the applicable court affects local procedure, the jury pool, and the defense firms you face. We file in both courts.
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 Westminster injury cases often build their value from those 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 after a Westminster crash, and why having experienced counsel who can push back matters.
We handle dog bites, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian crashes, rideshare accidents, and the full range of Westminster personal injury matters including car accidents, premises liability, brain injury, and wrongful death.
