Personal Injury Help in Boulder County
You've been hurt in a crash on U.S. Highway 36 or Foothills Parkway, or injured at work, or harmed by someone's negligence—and now an insurance adjuster is offering you far less than your claim is worth. We've seen this pattern for decades. Kirk McCormick and James Murphy built our Colorado trial team starting in 1990, and Kirk's prior experience representing insurers gives him a rare advantage: he knows exactly how they work to minimize what they pay you, and he knows how to counter it.
Our Denver office serves all of Boulder County—from Louisville and Lafayette in the south to Longmont, Broomfield, and Superior in the north. We investigate thoroughly, negotiate aggressively, and file suit without hesitation when the adjuster won't budge. Your case will be heard in the Boulder County Justice Center. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we recover money for you.

Common Injury Corridors in Boulder County
U.S. Highway 36 connects Denver to Boulder and sees heavy commuter traffic daily. Foothills Parkway, Arapahoe Avenue, and Broadway are also frequent sites of collisions, rear-end crashes, and multi-vehicle accidents. Speed, distraction, and poor weather are common factors.
Injuries sustained in highway accidents often require emergency care and ongoing treatment. We document medical records, police reports, and witness statements to establish liability and build the strongest possible claim for damages.
Accident reports filed with the Boulder Police Department or Boulder County Sheriff's Office are crucial evidence. We obtain these reports early, review them for admissions of fault, and identify discrepancies or missing details. These agencies also investigate workplace injuries and premises liability incidents. Having access to official reports strengthens your case significantly.
Medical Care & Recovery in Boulder County
Boulder Community Health Foothills Hospital is the primary acute-care facility serving Boulder County residents. If you are injured in a crash or accident, paramedics typically transport you there for emergency evaluation and treatment. Hospital records, physician notes, and imaging studies become the foundation of your damages claim.
We work with medical experts to clarify the extent of your injuries, the treatment you required, and the prognosis for full recovery. We also help identify any gaps in care or delayed diagnoses that may have worsened your condition. Medical costs—both past and future—are a central element of what we recover for you.
Litigation in Boulder County
Personal-injury lawsuits in Boulder County are filed at the Boulder County Justice Center. We prepare cases for trial if settlement negotiations stall, and we are ready to present evidence and witness testimony to a jury. The court system here moves at a predictable pace, and we know the judges, local rules, and procedural expectations.
Before trial, we often pursue mediation or arbitration to resolve claims efficiently. However, we never settle for less than fair value, and if a defendant refuses reasonable compensation, we will take the case to court and fight for you there.

Boulder Personal Injury FAQ
How much does it cost to hire you?
We work on a contingency-fee basis. You do not pay us anything upfront. We take a percentage of the money we recover for you. If we do not win your case, you owe us nothing. This aligns our interests with yours—we only succeed if you do.
What is the deadline for filing a personal-injury claim in Colorado?
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal-injury lawsuits is typically two years from the date of injury. However, some claims have shorter deadlines, and certain circumstances can extend or shorten this window. Contact us immediately so we can protect your rights and file before the clock runs out.
Do I have a case if I was partially at fault?
Colorado follows a comparative-negligence rule. You can still recover damages even if you were partly responsible, as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. We analyze all evidence to minimize any attribution of blame to you.
How long does a personal-injury case take?
Timeline varies. Simple cases may settle in months; complex cases with serious injuries may take one to three years or longer. We keep you informed of progress and manage discovery, depositions, and negotiation efficiently while never rushing into a poor settlement.
Should I talk to the insurance company before calling you?
No. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Anything you say can be used against you. Call us first. We handle all communication with insurers and protect your interests from the start.
