A Boulder Personal Injury Law Firm for People, Not Cars

So you got hurt in Boulder. Maybe a distracted driver blew through the crosswalk on Folsom while you were on your bike. Maybe you were strolling the Pearl Street Mall and a car turning onto Spruce just…didn’t see you. Or maybe you took a nasty fall on a patch of ice that CU should have cleared weeks ago.

Whatever happened, it wasn’t a generic car crash. It was a uniquely Boulder incident—a collision between our active, outdoor lifestyle and a world that too often forgets that roads are for people, not just for two-ton steel cages.

You don’t need a generic car accident lawyer. You need a specialist. You need a Boulder personal injury law firm that understands the difference between a fender-bender on I-25 and the catastrophic physics of a vehicle hitting an unprotected human being. This isn’t about just any injury case. This is about your injury case. And it demands an expert who gets it.

Your Case Requires a Specialist Who Understands Boulder

Let’s be blunt—most personal injury lawyers are just car accident lawyers. They see a police report and an insurance policy, and that’s their entire playbook. But your case is different, because Boulder is different.

Your case requires a deep understanding of Colorado Bike Law, the three-foot passing rule, the vulnerabilities of pedestrians, and the complex jurisdiction of local entities.

It requires an advocate who knows that a Boulder jury is one of the most educated and analytical in the country—they demand scientific proof, not just a sad story. You need a lawyer who can deliver a case with forensic precision, because that’s what it takes to win here.

We Are Boulder’s Bike and Pedestrian Accident Authority

The insurance adjuster will call your bike or pedestrian accident a “fender-bender.” This is a lie—and a deeply cynical one. There was no fender. There was you. An unprotected human being.

The reason these are often high-value cases is brutal and simple: the injuries are catastrophic. No airbags, no steel frame. Just your body against a machine.

This is why these collisions so often result in Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). A TBI isn’t a bump on the head—it’s a life-altering event that can demand a lifetime of medical care and steal the very essence of who you are. A generalist lawyer sees medical bills; we see the need to build an ironclad case for your future care, lost earning capacity, and profound suffering.

The insurance company’s first move will be to blame you.

• “You weren’t in a designated bike lane.”
• “You crossed mid-block.”
• “You assumed the risk.”

This is predictable nonsense. Our job is to dismantle it with facts. We bring in accident reconstructionists to prove the driver’s negligence. We use Colorado’s specific bike laws to establish their breach of duty. We show a jury the truth—that a moment of a driver’s inattention shattered your life.

We Defeat Complex Defendants Like CU and the City

What happens if you’re hurt on government property? A slip and fall on the University of Colorado campus/a student injury/an accident in Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (BOSMP)?

Suddenly, you’re not just fighting an insurance company. You’re fighting the government—and the government writes the rules to protect itself.

Suing a public entity like CU or the City of Boulder means navigating the treacherous waters of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (CGIA). This isn’t just another legal hurdle; it’s a minefield designed to make you fail.

The most dangerous trap is the deadline. You have just 182 days from the date of your injury to file a formal Notice of Claim. Not six months. One hundred and eighty-two days.

Miss that deadline by a single day, and your right to compensation is gone. Forever. It doesn’t matter how badly you were hurt or how negligent the government was. The door slams shut. A lawyer who doesn’t specialize in these cases might not even know this deadline exists until it’s too late. That’s a catastrophic mistake you can’t afford.

Our Strategy: Local Knowledge and a No-Fee Guarantee

Winning in Boulder requires more than legal knowledge—it requires local knowledge. It means understanding the procedures of the Boulder County District Court and knowing how to find the smoking gun in a Boulder Police Department accident report. It’s the home-field advantage.

But specialized expertise shouldn’t come with a financial barrier. That’s why we work on a contingency fee.

It’s simple—you pay us absolutely nothing unless and until we win your case. Our fee is just a percentage of the money we recover for you. This gives you access to elite legal representation with zero upfront risk. We are betting on our ability to win for you.

Of all the insurance company’s dirty tricks, the one that makes my blood boil is using a recorded statement to twist your words against you. They ask leading questions designed to trap you, then use your own honesty to deny your claim. Never, ever give one.

I’ll say it again: using a recorded statement to twist your words against you is their most powerful weapon. It’s a cynical, calculated move to cheat you out of the compensation you deserve. Learn more in our guide on what to do after a car accident.

This is a timeline of how these cases usually proceed. But with a government defendant, that critical 182-day notice deadline happens before anything else.
