Experienced Littleton Personal Injury Lawyers
If you’ve been hurt in an accident in Littleton, you’re likely dealing with mounting medical bills, time away from work, and an insurance company that’s already working to minimize what it owes you.

Why Trial Experience Matters in Littleton Injury Cases
Insurance companies keep track of which law firms will actually go to trial. When they see Jordan Law on a demand letter, they know the claim is backed by attorneys who have done it before — and who will do it again if a fair offer doesn’t come.
At Jordan Law, trial preparation starts on day one:
- We have secured numerous seven- and eight-figure verdicts and settlements for injury victims across Colorado.
- Two of our attorneys are former Presidents of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association.
- We regularly try cases in Arapahoe County District Court, Jefferson County District Court, and federal courts throughout Colorado.
- 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.
Many personal injury firms settle every case without ever stepping into a courtroom. Insurance adjusters know this — and they offer less because of it. Jordan Law is built differently. We don’t threaten trial. We prepare for it.
“Insurance companies know which firms settle and which firms try cases. They treat claims differently depending on who’s on the other side. Our job is to make sure your claim gets treated like it matters — because it does.” — Jason Jordan, Founding Partner

Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Littleton
Littleton sits at the southwest edge of the Denver metro area, bordered by major highways and high-traffic corridors that see serious crashes regularly.
The I-25/C-470 interchange is one of the most congested and dangerous interchanges in the south metro. C-470 connects I-25 to US-6 and carries heavy commuter traffic in both directions. Short on-ramps and off-ramps force aggressive merging, and speed differentials between through-traffic and exiting vehicles lead to frequent rear-end collisions — especially during morning and evening rush hours. Commercial trucks navigating this interchange face the same constraints with far less room to maneuver.
Other high-risk corridors in and around Littleton include:
- Santa Fe Drive (US-85) — A major north-south arterial running through the heart of Littleton with heavy commercial vehicle traffic, multiple signalized intersections, and frequent left-turn conflicts. The corridor between Mineral Avenue and Bowles Avenue is particularly prone to rear-end and broadside collisions during peak commuting hours.
- South Broadway — A high-volume corridor connecting Littleton to Englewood and south Denver with retail driveways, pedestrian crossings, and tight lane configurations that create conflict points for motorists and pedestrians alike.
- Belleview Avenue — An east-west connector linking Littleton to the DTC area, with heavy traffic at the intersections with Santa Fe Drive, South Federal Boulevard, and South Wadsworth Boulevard.
- Ken Caryl Avenue / C-470 — Western Littleton residents accessing C-470 face merging conflicts and high-speed traffic mixing with residential area traffic patterns.
- Mineral Avenue at Santa Fe — A major intersection with turning movement conflicts and significant commercial traffic from nearby retail developments.
When we investigate a Littleton accident, we know where to look for surveillance cameras, which intersections have signal timing issues, and how traffic patterns at specific times of day contribute to crash dynamics.
Where Your Case Will Be Filed: Arapahoe County Courts
Littleton straddles portions of both Arapahoe County and Jefferson County, which means your case could be filed in one of two judicial districts depending on where the accident occurred:
For accidents in the Arapahoe County portion of Littleton: Cases are filed in the 18th Judicial District at either the Arapahoe County Justice Center (7325 S. Potomac Street, Centennial, CO 80112) or the Arapahoe County Courthouse — Littleton (1790 West Littleton Boulevard, Littleton, CO 80120). The Littleton courthouse handles County Court civil matters, including smaller personal injury claims.
For accidents in the Jefferson County portion of Littleton: Cases are filed in the 1st Judicial District at the Jefferson County Courts (100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, CO 80401).
Understanding which courthouse has jurisdiction over your claim is something our attorneys handle from the outset. We regularly file and try cases in both the 18th and 1st Judicial Districts and understand the procedural differences, scheduling patterns, and judicial preferences in each.

Do You Have a Personal Injury Claim in Littleton?
Most personal injury cases in Colorado are based on negligence. To pursue a valid claim, we generally 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 repair a known hazard, 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.
You don’t need to have this figured out before you call. During your free consultation, we’ll listen to what happened and give you straightforward feedback about your options.
Deadlines: How Long Do You Have to File an Injury Claim in Colorado?
Colorado law sets 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 Littleton, Arapahoe County, Jefferson County, CDOT) require a 182-day notice under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act before a lawsuit can proceed.
Missing these deadlines almost always means losing your right to seek compensation entirely. If you’ve been hurt in Littleton, contact us as soon as possible to protect your claim.

What to Do After an Accident in Littleton
The steps you take immediately after an accident can shape the strength of your legal claim. If you’re able:
- Get medical care right away. Some injuries — particularly concussions, soft tissue damage, and internal bleeding — don’t produce obvious symptoms immediately. Medical records also create the documented connection between the accident and your injuries that insurers will scrutinize.
- Report the incident. For vehicle crashes in Littleton, call the Littleton Police Department at (303) 794-1551 or the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. For crashes on 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 or their insurer.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other party’s insurance company. Adjusters are trained to ask questions designed to reduce your claim value. Even innocent-sounding comments — like saying you feel “fine” at the scene — can be used against you later.
- Contact a Littleton personal injury lawyer before accepting any settlement. Initial offers are almost always designed to close your claim before the full extent of your injuries is known. Once you accept, you cannot go back for more — even if your condition worsens.
What Compensation Can a Littleton 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 cost of your injury — the impact that doesn’t show up on a bill:
- 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 punitive damages, we identify them early and preserve the evidence needed to pursue them.
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 total damages are $300,000 and you are found 20% at fault, your recovery would be reduced to $240,000.
Insurance companies routinely attempt to inflate the injured person’s share of fault to reduce their payout. One of the most important things our attorneys do is build the factual record that counters these arguments — through witness statements, accident reconstruction, vehicle data, and scene evidence.
