Why Trial Experience Matters in Colorado Springs Injury Cases
Insurance companies track which firms go to trial. In Colorado Springs, where several high-volume PI firms settle everything at a discount, the bar is low. When an insurer sees Jordan Law on a demand letter, the internal valuation changes — because our history of taking cases to verdict is public record.
- We have secured numerous seven- and eight-figure verdicts and settlements for injury victims across Colorado, including cases originating in El Paso County.
- Two of our attorneys are former Presidents of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association — a distinction shared by very few firms in the state.
- Our lead attorney is a member of the invitation-only Million Dollar Advocates Forum and has been named among The National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 Under 40.
- We regularly try cases in Colorado’s district and federal courts and are fully prepared to litigate in the 4th Judicial District.
“I have people tell me all the time, ‘I’ve been dealing with this insurance company for 20 years and they’ve always treated me great.’ And I say, ‘Have you ever made a claim?’ and they say, ‘no.’ Well, ok, so the person who has been taking your money has been treating you great. Wait till you make a claim.”
— Jason Jordan, Founding Partner

Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs has some of the most dangerous intersections in the state, and the data backs it up. Intersection crashes account for approximately 40% of all traffic incidents in the Colorado Springs metro area, and seven of the city’s ten worst intersections are along a single highway: I-25.
I-25 through Colorado Springs is the most dangerous corridor in the city. The 12-mile stretch through the metro carries heavy commuter, commercial, and military traffic. The interchange at I-25 and West Cimarron Street is consistently ranked as the single most dangerous intersection in Colorado Springs, with 151 crashes recorded in a single recent year. Other high-crash I-25 interchanges include West Garden of the Gods Road (59 crashes), West Fillmore Street (52 crashes), South Nevada Avenue/South Tejon Street (68 crashes), and West Uintah Street (52 crashes).
Other high-risk corridors in Colorado Springs include:
- North Powers Boulevard (Interstate 21) — One of the most heavily traveled commuter routes in the city. The intersection at Stetson Hills Boulevard averaged nearly one crash per week in recent reporting periods. The corridor carries residential, school, and commercial traffic through the east side of the city.
- North Academy Boulevard — The northern end runs through dense commercial shopping centers with constant traffic throughout the day. Dangerous intersections include East Platte Avenue, Austin Bluffs Parkway, North Carefree Circle, and Dublin Boulevard.
- South Academy Boulevard — Heavy accident volume at intersections with Airport Road and East Fountain Boulevard, where commercial traffic meets residential neighborhoods.
- West Cimarron Street — Beyond the I-25 interchange, this corridor provides access points to I-25 from multiple directions and is heavily congested during commute hours.
- North Nevada Avenue / East Platte Avenue — The intersection near the Palmer statue has been the focus of traffic pattern changes, including a 2024 restriction on left turns from East Platte onto North Nevada.
Colorado Springs’ elevation and rapidly changing weather add a layer of hazard that flat-terrain cities don’t face. Sudden snowstorms, black ice, and temperature swings can change road conditions in minutes — and drivers who aren’t prepared create chain-reaction crashes on highways and surface streets alike.
Where Your Case Will Be Filed: El Paso County Courts
Colorado Springs is located in El Paso County, which is part of Colorado’s 4th Judicial District. Personal injury lawsuits arising from Colorado Springs accidents are filed at the El Paso County Combined Courts, located at 270 South Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.
The 4th Judicial District is one of the busiest in Colorado, serving El Paso and Teller counties. The court system handles a high volume of civil litigation, and understanding the local procedural rules, discovery timelines, and judicial preferences is essential for effective case management.
This is a different judicial district than the Denver metro courts where many of our cases are filed (18th Judicial District in Arapahoe County, 1st Judicial District in Jefferson County, Denver District Court). Jordan Law is equipped to litigate in the 4th Judicial District and understands how Colorado Springs courts manage personal injury cases from initial filing through trial.

Do You Have a Personal Injury Claim in Colorado Springs?
Most personal injury cases in Colorado are built on negligence. To pursue a valid claim, we need to establish four elements:
- Duty of Care — The other party had a legal obligation to act reasonably. Drivers must follow traffic laws, property owners must maintain safe conditions, and employers must provide a safe workplace.
- Breach of Duty — They failed to meet that standard. Speeding, distracted driving, running a red light, failing to maintain property, or over-serving alcohol are all common examples.
- Causation — Their breach directly caused or substantially contributed to your injuries.
- Damages — You suffered real, measurable losses — medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, or diminished quality of life.
With five military installations in the Colorado Springs area (Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, the Air Force Academy, and NORAD/Cheyenne Mountain), we also handle claims involving military personnel injured off-base by civilian negligence, as well as claims arising from interactions with military vehicles and personnel on public roads.
You don’t need to have the legal analysis figured out before you call. We’ll listen and give you direct feedback.
Deadlines: How Long Do You Have to File an Injury Claim in Colorado?
Colorado law imposes strict time limits — called the statute of limitations — for filing a personal injury lawsuit:
- Motor vehicle accident claims (car, truck, motorcycle) must be filed within three years of the date of the crash under C.R.S. § 13-80-101.
- General personal injury claims (slip and fall, dog bite, premises liability, and most other negligence claims) must be filed within two years of the date of injury under C.R.S. § 13-80-102.
- Wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death under C.R.S. § 13-21-204.
- Claims against government entities (City of Colorado Springs, El Paso County, CDOT, or federal military installations) require a 182-day notice under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act before a lawsuit can proceed. Claims against federal entities may fall under the Federal Tort Claims Act with its own separate deadlines.
Missing these deadlines almost always eliminates your right to pursue compensation. If you’ve been hurt in Colorado Springs, contact us as soon as possible.

What to Do After an Accident in Colorado Springs
The steps you take immediately after an accident shape the strength of your legal claim. If you’re able:
- Get medical care right away. Colorado Springs has several Level I and Level II trauma centers, including UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central. Some injuries — particularly concussions, soft tissue damage, and internal bleeding — don’t show obvious symptoms immediately. Medical records also create the link between the accident and your injuries that insurers will scrutinize.
- Report the incident. For vehicle crashes in Colorado Springs, call the Colorado Springs Police Department at (719) 444-7000. For crashes on I-25 or state highways, contact the Colorado State Patrol. For incidents on commercial property, report to management and request a copy of their incident report.
- Document everything you can. Photograph the scene, vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signals, and visible injuries. Get names and contact information from witnesses. Preserve dashcam footage, text messages, and any communications from the other party’s insurance company.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other party’s insurer. Adjusters are trained to ask questions that reduce your claim’s value. Even casual comments — like saying you feel “OK” at the scene — can be used against you months later when the full extent of your injuries becomes clear.
- Contact a Colorado Springs personal injury lawyer before accepting any settlement. The first offer is almost always designed to close your claim before the full scope of your injuries is known. Once you accept, you cannot go back for more — even if your condition worsens.
What Compensation Can a Colorado Springs Injury Claim Cover?
Economic Damages
Economic damages cover the measurable financial losses caused by your injury:
- Emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, and follow-up treatment
- Physical therapy, imaging, prescriptions, and medical devices
- Future medical expenses and long-term care needs
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity
- Property damage and out-of-pocket costs related to the injury
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages compensate for the human impact — what doesn’t appear on a bill but still changes your life:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress, anxiety, or depression
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship or consortium
- Inconvenience and disruption to daily living
Colorado’s House Bill 24-1472, effective January 1, 2025, imposes a cap of $1.5 million on noneconomic damages in most personal injury cases, with adjusted caps for wrongful death claims. We explain how these caps apply to your specific situation during your case evaluation.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are rare and apply only when the defendant’s conduct was willful, wanton, or recklessly indifferent to others’ safety. If the facts support it, we preserve the evidence needed to pursue these additional damages.
What If You Were Partly at Fault?
Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule under C.R.S. § 13-21-111. You can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident — but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if your damages total $400,000 and you are found 15% at fault, your recovery would be reduced to $340,000.
Insurance companies routinely try to shift blame to the injured person. In Colorado Springs, where weather conditions, military vehicle interactions, and complex multi-lane intersections create ambiguous crash scenarios, fault disputes are particularly common. Building the evidence to counter these arguments — through accident reconstruction, vehicle data, witness statements, and surveillance footage — is a core part of what our attorneys do.
How Much Does a Colorado Springs Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
Jordan Law works on a contingency fee basis. There is no retainer, no hourly rate, and no upfront cost. Our legal fees are a percentage of the recovery we obtain on your behalf. If we don’t win, you don’t pay.
This means we absorb the financial risk and expense of building your case. We only succeed when you do.
