Littleton Personal Injury Lawyers

A personal injury is legally defined as any injury to the body or the mind. If you or someone you love is injured as a result of another person’s negligence, you have a right to receive compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation and lost wages. In addition, you may be entitled to compensation for non economic damages such as emotional distress, decreased quality of life and pain and suffering.

After an accident, you may have many questions. Who will pay your medical bills? How will you recover from your injuries? Who will take care of your financial obligations if you are unable to work? Our experienced personal injury attorneys can help you review all of your options after an accident. We have handled numerous personal injury cases including:

Automobile Accidents

Motorcycle Accidents

Truck Accidents

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

Work related Accidents

Slip and Fall Accidents or Premises Liability Accidents

Defective Product or Product Liability Accidents

Medical Negligence

Construction related Accidents

Nursing Home Abuse and Elder Abuse

No matter what type of injury you sustained, Colorado has strict laws in place that hold negligent parties liable for your injuries. Since Colorado is an “at fault” state, it is important to determine who those responsible parties are prior to filing a lawsuit. In many cases, there may be many parties responsible for your injuries and an experienced Colorado personal injury attorney will be able to help determine who the responsible parties are and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.

In the state of Colorado, there is a 2 year statute of limitations on all personal injury claims. This means that you only have 2 years after an accident to bring a lawsuit against the responsible parties. If your injuries were the result of an automobile accident however, you have 3 years to file your claim. If you or someone you love is injured in an accident, don’t delay. Contact a Colorado personal injury attorney immediately to avoid missing any critical deadlines and to ensure that your claim is handled quickly and efficiently.

After an accident, debilitating injuries can quickly overwhelm victims and families struggling to get their lives back on track. Medical expenses, rehabilitation expenses and lost wages can easily become financial burdens as insurance companies delay rightful compensation. When this happens, you need a qualified and experienced colorado littleton personal injury attorney on your side who will aggressively pursue maximum compensation for all of your injuries.

The attorneys at Littleton Lawyers™ can examine your personal injury case and advise you of your rights and your possible financial recovery. Please call today for a free consultation – (303) 562-1507.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a personal injury lawyer help if my case goes to trial?

Yes, a personal injury lawyer can represent you in court if your case goes to trial. At Littleton Lawyers, we prepare every case thoroughly as if it will go to trial, ensuring we are ready to advocate for your rights before a judge and jury. Our trial experience and commitment to justice help us fight effectively for the compensation you deserve.

How do personal injury laws in Colorado affect my case?

Colorado's personal injury laws, including the statute of limitations and comparative negligence rules, significantly impact your case. Understanding these laws is crucial for building a strong claim. Our knowledgeable attorneys are well-versed in Colorado law and will guide you through each step, ensuring your rights are protected and your case is handled efficiently.

What is the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in Colorado?

In Colorado, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. However, motor vehicle accident claims usually have a three-year limit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from seeking compensation. Exceptions may apply if the injury was not discovered immediately. It’s critical to consult an attorney early to preserve your rights. Timely filing ensures evidence and witness testimony are preserved.

How does comparative negligence affect personal injury claims?

Colorado uses a modified comparative negligence system, meaning your recovery may be reduced if you were partially at fault. If you are found 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. For example, if you are 20% responsible, your award is reduced by that percentage. Courts weigh evidence from both sides to allocate fault. Attorneys work to minimize your share of fault during negotiations or trial. This system ensures fairness but requires careful case strategy.

What role do expert witnesses play in personal injury cases?

Expert witnesses provide specialized knowledge to support claims of liability and damages. They may include doctors, accident reconstructionist, or economists. Their testimony can explain complex issues clearly to a judge or jury. Experts often strengthen the credibility of your case and support higher settlements. Attorneys carefully select and prepare experts to align with case strategy. Effective use of experts can be pivotal in winning compensation.

In 2026, how long do you generally have to file a Colorado personal injury lawsuit, and why does the deadline vary by case type?

In 2026, Colorado limitation periods vary depending on the kind of injury claim you are bringing. Many tort actions must be filed within two years under Colorado’s general limitation statute. Motor vehicle injury claims commonly fall under a separate three-year limitation category for tort actions arising out of the use or operation of a motor vehicle. That difference matters because the same crash can involve multiple claim types, such as negligence plus a product or premises theory, with different deadlines. Even if you have time, evidence like video and witness availability can disappear quickly, so early preservation is still critical. Tracking the correct limitation period early helps prevent a good case from being lost to a calendar mistake.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael Bahr is absolutely amazing! I was in a head on collision and after talking with several attorneys decided to go with Mike Bahr. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He is compassionate, reasonable, and a good lawyer all together. I was able to claim the maximum benefits from both my insurance and the at-fault parties due to the extent of my injuries. When you are in an accident there is a lot of unknowns that add additional stress on top of trying to heal. Mike was able to answer all the questions I had and made sure I was focused on recovery. On top of just being an outstanding person and attorney he also was reasonably priced. Some attorneys are only in it for the money, but Mike Bahr genuinely seems like he wants to help people. He was extremely helpful during one of the most stressful times in my life and for that I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are ever involved in an accident I 100% would recommend reaching out to Mike Bahr.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and Ben both worked on my case against the seller of my house that did not disclose a mouse infestation. Both of them listened to my case and discussed possible strategies to help me win. They had very little time to prepare (roughly a month) between the mediation and the trial. They were both very sympathetic to what had been an incredibly stressful situation. Because of Ben and Mike's help I ended up winning my case and I am beyond grateful for their help.
