Fort Collins' Unique Accident Risks
Fort Collins has its own traffic patterns: dense campus traffic around Colorado State University, high-speed crashes on Highway 287 and I-25 where commuter and agricultural traffic mix, and impaired-driving crashes near the College Avenue bar district, particularly on Ram football weekends. Colorado requires minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident, and $15,000 for property damage (C.R.S. § 42-7-103), which often falls short after a serious crash. Non-economic damages in Colorado are capped at $1,500,000 for claims that accrue on or after January 1, 2025, and actions filed during 2025, making thorough claim evaluation essential.
Serving Northern Colorado Communities
We represent accident victims throughout Northern Colorado's interconnected communities. The Highway 287 corridor extends south through Loveland, with crashes at the Highway 34 interchange and near the Centerra shopping district that draws regional traffic. To the east, grain trucks, cattle haulers, and farm equipment contribute to serious accidents on US-34 and Highway 85 around Greeley. When the at-fault driver is uninsured or carries only minimum limits, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may be an important source of recovery.
The I-25 corridor connects Fort Collins to smaller communities like Wellington and Timnath, where rapid growth has outpaced infrastructure in places. Limited traffic controls, insufficient signage, and poorly maintained roads can all contribute to crashes. When accidents occur in these areas, thorough documentation of hazardous conditions, traffic control failures, and road defects becomes essential for establishing liability.

No Fees Unless We Win
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don't pay attorney fees unless we secure a settlement or verdict in your favor. This allows you to focus on your recovery while the legal work is handled, and it means financial barriers don't stand between you and representation, including when an uninsured or underinsured driver caused the crash.
