Off-Leash Dog Attacks In Northglenn Public Spaces And Dog Parks
McCormick & Murphy are Northglenn off-leash dog attack lawyers for people hurt by an off-leash dog. We file in Adams County Justice Center.
Colorado's dog-bite statute, C.R.S. § 13‑21‑124, does not require the attack to happen at the owner's home. If you were lawfully in a public place in Northglenn, whether on a path near 104th Avenue, along Washington Street, or in a neighborhood park, and the dog caused a serious injury, you may have a claim under the statute.
An off-leash dog also raises a separate negligence question. If an owner let a dog run loose and failed to control it, that failure to use reasonable care can support a claim even outside the strict statutory framework. We look at where the attack happened, whether the dog was supposed to be leashed, and what the owner did or did not do to prevent it.
Dog parks complicate things. People who bring dogs to a dog park accept some normal contact and rough play between dogs. That does not mean every dog-park injury is automatically a claim, but it also does not mean you have no case. We look at the specific dog's history, whether it was aggressive beyond normal play, and how the owner responded.
What To Preserve Near I-25, 104th Avenue, And 120th Avenue
Location matters. We want to know exactly where the attack happened, whether it was a leash-required area, and whether the dog was under any physical control at the time. Photos of the scene, the specific stretch of trail or park, and any posted signage can all matter later.
Witnesses are often the strongest evidence in an off-leash case, since these attacks usually happen in public with other people around. Names and contact information for anyone who saw the dog before, during, or after the attack can make a real difference. We also gather your own photos of injuries and any information you have about the dog and its owner.
- Note the exact location, including cross streets or landmarks near I-25, 104th Avenue, or 120th Avenue
- Get names and phone numbers of any witnesses
- Photograph the scene, the dog if possible, and your injuries
- Get the owner's name and contact information if they stayed at the scene
- Seek medical care and keep records of treatment

Does The Dog Park Or Off-Leash Location Change Your Claim?
Do I need Northglenn off-leash dog attack lawyers after an injury?
Call Northglenn off-leash dog attack lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The nearest office is in Denver, CO.
Can I still have a claim if the attack happened at a dog park?
Possibly. People at dog parks accept some normal contact between dogs, but that does not cover aggressive attacks beyond typical play. We look at the dog's behavior and history to evaluate whether you have a claim.
Does it matter that the dog was off-leash when it attacked me?
Yes, it can support both a statutory claim and a separate negligence claim. An owner who lets a dog run loose in violation of leash expectations may have failed to use reasonable care to control the animal.
What if I don't know who owns the dog?
Witness information and any photos or video from the scene can help identify the owner later. Animal control or bystanders at the scene are often the best early source of that information.
I was attacked while walking near 104th Avenue. Does the location matter?
The location helps establish that you were lawfully in a public place, which is a key part of a dog-bite claim under Colorado law. It also helps us find witnesses and any relevant surveillance in the area.
Do I need to have gone to a hospital to have a claim?
Medical treatment records support your claim by documenting the injury and its severity, so it helps to get evaluated even if the injury seems minor at first. Facilities like HCA HealthONE North Suburban Medical Center create records we can later use to support your case.
