If you've been injured in a car accident in Fort Collins or surrounding areas, our experienced car accident and injury attorneys are here to help you pursue fair compensation.

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.

  • Larimer County District Court procedures
  • Working with Poudre Valley Hospital and UC Health records
  • Agricultural vehicle accident reconstruction
  • Understanding of Fort Collins' Vision Zero initiative

Types of Compensation We Recover

  • Medical expenses (current and future)

  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Rehabilitation costs

Not sure what your claim is worth? Run the numbers with our free car accident settlement calculator — estimate your payout from medical bills, lost wages, and injury severity in about two minutes.

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.

Common Questions

How much does it cost to hire a car accident attorney?

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no upfront costs. You only pay if we win your case.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Colorado?

In Colorado, you generally have 3 years from the date of a motor vehicle accident to file suit (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)). Most other personal injury claims have a 2-year deadline (C.R.S. 13-80-102). Certain circumstances can shorten these timelines, so it's important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Fort Collins?

Seek medical attention immediately, document the scene if safe to do so, gather contact information from witnesses, and contact an experienced attorney before speaking with insurance companies.
