Greenwood Village Personal Injury Lawyers

Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Greenwood Village, CO

Greenwood Village injury claims are usually heard in the 18th Judicial District, most often at Arapahoe County Justice Center, 7325 S. Potomac Street, Centennial, CO 80112. 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 Greenwood Village:

• 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.

Hit by a Car in Greenwood Village: Pedestrian Claims Near the Tech Center

Greenwood Village pedestrian crashes tend to happen where office foot traffic meets commuter driving: crosswalks on Arapahoe Road, Belleview Avenue, and Orchard Road, parking garages and surface lots around Denver Tech Center offices, and the walk to and from the Orchard and Arapahoe at Village Center light rail stations. A driver turning across a crosswalk, backing out of a garage space, or looking at a phone can cause serious injuries at low speed.

Colorado law requires drivers to exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian on any roadway, and to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks where signals are not in place or not working. A pedestrian claim usually turns on the same evidence as any crash: the police report, the crosswalk and signal layout, nearby business or traffic video, witness statements, and the medical record. Because a car-versus-pedestrian claim arises from the use of a motor vehicle, Colorado's three-year motor-vehicle deadline generally applies, but video and witness memories do not last that long.

• Crosswalks and turning vehicles: left- and right-turn conflicts at signalized DTC intersections
• Garages and parking lots: backing and low-speed impacts where property-owner and driver responsibility can overlap
• Light rail station areas: if an RTD vehicle or employee is involved, the 182-day government notice deadline applies
• Hit-and-run: the driver must stop and remain at the scene of an injury crash; if they flee, your own uninsured motorist coverage may matter
