Longmont accident victims: contingency representation across Boulder and Weld counties, no upfront fees.
Personal Injury Lawyer in Longmont, Colorado
You were hurt in a crash or accident in Longmont, and now an insurance adjuster is offering you far less than your medical bills and lost time are worth. We've represented people in your position for over three decades—and we know how insurers operate because Kirk previously worked on the defense side. That experience means we recognize lowball tactics immediately and know how to file and fight the claims that insurers hope you'll abandon. We represent injured Longmont residents on contingency, so you pay nothing until your case succeeds.
Longmont straddles Boulder and Weld counties, with U.S. Highway 287 and Colorado Highway 119 running through the area and Hover Street and Ken Pratt Boulevard serving as major local corridors.

Common Accident Corridors in Longmont
U.S. Highway 287 runs north-south through Longmont, connecting Boulder to Loveland. Highway 287 carries heavy commuter and commercial traffic, making rear-end collisions and highway pile-ups routine. Colorado Highway 119 intersects these routes and creates additional conflict points, especially during rush hours and winter weather.
Hover Street and Ken Pratt Boulevard see constant local traffic, with pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles sharing tight intersections. We regularly handle claims from accidents at these locations — each requires knowledge of local traffic patterns, signal timing, and intersection design flaws that may show negligence.
Longmont Public Safety and the Boulder County Sheriff's Office (for unincorporated Boulder County areas) investigate crashes and maintain accident reports. We obtain police reports, witness statements, and scene photographs to build your claim. Our Denver office coordinates with both agencies to ensure evidence preservation and to establish liability through official records.

UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital is your primary acute-care facility in Longmont. For serious injuries, life flight and trauma protocols activate immediately. We work with your medical team to document injuries, gather treatment records, and establish the link between the accident and your ongoing care.
Many Longmont residents receive follow-up care through urgent-care centers, physical therapy clinics, and specialist offices in Boulder and Loveland. We coordinate with all providers to compile medical evidence and calculate the true cost of your recovery.
Where Longmont Cases Are Tried

Longmont Personal Injury FAQ
How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — we advance all costs, and you pay attorney fees only if we win or settle your case. Our fee comes as a percentage of your recovery, typically 33% for pre-trial settlement or 40% if the case goes to trial. This aligns our interests with yours: we only profit when you do.
How long do I have to file a claim after an accident in Longmont?
Colorado's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of injury to file a civil lawsuit. However, we recommend contacting us immediately after your accident. Early investigation preserves evidence, witness memories fade, and insurance companies move quickly. Waiting costs you leverage.
Do I have to go to trial?
Most cases settle without trial. We negotiate aggressively with insurance carriers, but we prepare every case for Boulder County Justice Center or Weld County Combined Courts. If the at-fault party's insurance refuses fair value, we are ready to try your case before a judge or jury.
What if the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured?
Colorado law allows you to pursue an uninsured motorist (UM) or underinsured motorist (UIM) claim through your own policy. These claims follow the same contingency arrangement. We manage the claim against the at-fault party and, if necessary, against your own coverage to maximize your recovery.
What should I do immediately after an accident in Longmont?
Call 911, remain at the scene, obtain the other driver's name and insurance information, take photographs of vehicle damage and road conditions, and get contact details from witnesses. Do not admit fault or discuss the accident with anyone but police. Then call us. We handle communication with insurance companies and investigations from there.
