Northglenn Personal Injury Lawyers

Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Northglenn, CO

Northglenn injury claims are usually heard in the 17th Judicial District, most often at Adams County Justice Center, 1100 Judicial Center Dr, Brighton, CO 80601. 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 Northglenn:

• 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.

Northglenn Accident Lawyer for I-25, 104th Avenue, 120th Avenue, and Washington Street Crashes

Most Northglenn injury claims start on the corridors listed above: I-25 along the city's west edge, the 104th and 120th Avenue interchanges, Washington Street (US-85), and Huron Street. When someone is hurt on one of those roads, the first job is the plain facts: where the crash happened, which lane each car was in, what the signals showed, and which cameras may have caught it before footage is overwritten.

Preliminary data the Colorado Department of Transportation released in January 2026 counted 701 traffic deaths statewide in 2025, up from 689 in 2024. CDOT listed Adams County at 59 deaths (down 30% from 2024) and Weld County at 76 (up 13%). Those are county figures, not Northglenn-only counts, and they say nothing about any one crash.

Northglenn lies mostly in Adams County, part of the 17th Judicial District. The Colorado Judicial Branch lists the Adams County Justice Center at 1100 Judicial Center Dr., Brighton. A small part of the city extends into Weld County, whose cases go to the 19th Judicial District at the Weld County Courthouse, 901 9th Ave, Greeley. The exact crash location decides the county, so it is worth confirming before anything is filed.

• Filing deadline: tort actions for bodily injury or property damage arising out of the use or operation of a motor vehicle have three years under C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n). Most other negligence claims, such as a fall at a store, have two years under C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(a), and wrongful death claims have two years under C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(d).
• Government vehicles and roads: a claim against a city, county, RTD, or CDOT needs written notice within 182 days after the injury is discovered (C.R.S. 24-10-109(1)). Our notice of claim guide explains the steps.
• Shared fault: your own negligence does not bar recovery if it was not as great as the other driver's, but your damages are reduced in proportion to your share (C.R.S. 13-21-111(1)).
