Sterling Personal Injury Lawyers

Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Sterling, CO

Sterling injury claims are usually heard in the 13th Judicial District, most often at Logan County Combined Courts, 110 N. Riverview Road, Room 205, Sterling, CO 80751. 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 Sterling:

• 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.

Sterling and Logan County Injury Claims

Sterling is where I-76, US-6, CO-14 and US-138 come together, which makes it the crossroads of northeast Colorado. A lot of heavy traffic moves through: Logan County ranks among Colorado's top agricultural counties, both BNSF and Union Pacific run through town, and CDOT's S-Curve project moved east-west trucks onto a bypass built on old railroad right-of-way to get them out of downtown.

• I-76 at exit 125 (US-6): the interstate connection, where highway speeds meet local traffic.
• US-6 (3rd Street), CO-14 and US-138: farm equipment, grain trucks and local drivers share these routes year-round.
• Who writes the report: the Sterling Police Department inside city limits (crashdocs.org for crashes after May 2021), Colorado State Patrol on the highways.
• Where people are treated: Sterling Regional MedCenter, a Level III trauma center; the most serious injuries are often transferred to a Level II center such as Banner North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley.
• Where a case is filed: Logan County Combined Courts in Sterling, 13th Judicial District.
