Evans Personal Injury Lawyers

Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Evans, CO

Evans injury claims are usually heard in the 19th Judicial District, most often at Weld County Courthouse, 901 9th Ave, Greeley, CO 80631. That venue is a fact of the crash location, not a slogan.

Colorado Personal Injury Law

The filing window and fault rule are statewide, not unique to Evans:

• Statute of Limitations: Most injury claims: 2 years from the date of injury. Auto collisions: 3 years from the date of crash.
• Fault System: Modified comparative fault (50% bar)
• Damage Caps: No cap on economic damages; non-economic damages capped in some cases
• Dram Shop Laws: Bars can be liable for serving intoxicated patrons
• Dog Bite Liability: Strict liability for dog bite injuries

Colorado's modified comparative fault rule means you can recover damages as long as you're less than 50% at fault for your accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Evans Injury Claims Along US-85 and 37th Street

In Evans, US-85 and the Union Pacific main line run side by side, and the at-grade crossings between them are part of daily life. So is heavy traffic: the city describes Weld County as the center of Colorado's largest oil-producing area, and those trucks share US-85 and 37th Street (Freedom Parkway) with commuters headed to Greeley and I-25. The 37th Street widening project adds construction zones to the mix.

• Who writes the report: the Evans Police Department, with reports available through crashdocs.org or LexisNexis BuyCrash.
• Where people are treated: Banner North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley; the nearest Level I trauma center is UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland.
• Where a case is filed: Weld County District Court in the 19th Judicial District, at the Weld County Courthouse in Greeley.

Crashes involving a train, an oilfield truck or a road under construction often have more than one responsible party, and each has its own insurance and its own records. The early job is to identify all of them and preserve what they hold. If a government vehicle or road condition is involved, read about Colorado's 182-day notice rule for claims against a government entity, because that clock is much shorter than the normal deadline.
