If you were hurt, or lost a family member, because someone else was careless, we take on the insurance companies and the people responsible so you can focus on your recovery.
We know the strategies insurers use to pay injured people less, and we prepare every case for the courtroom. From our Greeley office we represent injured people along the Front Range and across Colorado.
What it costs: the consultation is free, and we take injury cases on a contingency fee, a percentage of what we recover, agreed in writing before we start. If there is no recovery you owe no attorney fee; a client may still be responsible for case costs, and for the other side's attorney fees if a court orders them.
The first days after a crash or a fall decide a lot of what comes later. In order:
Get medical care, even if you feel fine. Some injuries show up days later, and the record of that first visit matters.
Report it. Call the police after a crash. After a fall, tell the owner or manager and ask for a written incident report.
Keep what you can. Photos of the scene, the vehicles and your injuries; the names and numbers of witnesses; every bill, receipt and missed day of work.
Be careful with the other side's insurance company. You do not have to give a recorded statement, and you do not have to accept the first offer. Talk to a lawyer before you sign anything.
Call us. The consultation is free. The sooner we start, the more evidence we can secure before it disappears.
Why Colorado families call Grant & Associates
A lawyer, not a mill. You work directly with an attorney who knows your file, from the first call to the last check.
In Weld County courts since 1993. Tom Grant has practiced in Greeley for more than thirty years, including six as a City of Greeley prosecutor, and knows the courtrooms, the judges and the defense firms your case will meet.
Trial-ready. Insurers know which firms settle cheap. We prepare every case to be tried, and our representative cases include a $742,000 recovery from a trucking company and a $6 million wrongful death judgment.
Local, with reach. Based in Northern Colorado, we represent injured people along the entire Front Range and across Colorado.
Every case turns on its own facts; a past result does not predict or promise the outcome of any other matter.
Most cases follow the same path, and you will know where yours is at every step.
1
A free consultation
You talk with an attorney, not an intake desk. We listen, ask about the accident and your injuries, and tell you honestly whether you have a case.
2
Investigation
We gather the police report, photos, witness statements, vehicle data and medical records, and we put every insurer that may owe coverage on notice.
3
Treatment and documentation
Your health comes first. While you treat, we track the bills, the lost wages and what the injury has taken from your daily life.
4
Demand and negotiation
When your condition is clear, we present the claim with the evidence behind it and negotiate for a settlement that covers the whole loss.
5
A lawsuit if the offer is not fair
We prepare every case for the courtroom. If the insurer will not pay what the case is worth, we file suit in Weld County, Larimer County or wherever the case belongs.
6
Settlement or trial
Most cases settle, some on the courthouse steps. The ones that do not are tried to a jury, and we will tell you what to expect either way.
Colorado personal injury basics
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Colorado?
Most injury claims from a car, truck or motorcycle crash must be filed within three years of the accident (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)). Most other negligence claims, including falls on someone else's property, have two years (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(a)), and so do most wrongful death claims (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(d)). A claim against a city, county, school district or the state has a much shorter step first: written notice within 182 days (C.R.S. 24-10-109). There are exceptions in both directions, so call early rather than counting on the longest period.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
Colorado uses modified comparative negligence (C.R.S. 13-21-111). You can still recover if your share of the fault is less than the other side's, but your damages are reduced by your percentage. At 50 percent or more, you recover nothing. That rule is why insurers argue so hard about fault, and why the evidence from the first days matters.
What can I recover?
Economic losses: medical bills, future care, lost wages, lost earning capacity and property damage. Noneconomic losses: physical pain, emotional distress and the loss of enjoyment of life. For claims that arise on or after January 1, 2025, and cases filed during 2025, Colorado caps noneconomic damages at $1.5 million in most injury cases and at $2.125 million in wrongful death cases, with inflation adjustments from 2028 (House Bill 24-1472). Economic losses are not capped.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
Our injury cases are handled on a contingency fee: the fee is a percentage of what is recovered, agreed in writing before we start, and there is no hourly bill. The consultation is free, and we explain case costs before you sign anything.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
Be polite, give the basic facts, and decline a recorded statement until you have talked to a lawyer. Adjusters are trained to find the words that reduce a claim. Your own insurer is different: report the crash promptly, as your policy requires, so your own coverage is not at risk.
What if the driver who hit me had little or no insurance?
Colorado requires only $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident in bodily injury liability coverage, and $15,000 in property damage, which a serious injury exceeds quickly. Your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, and your medical payments coverage, can fill the gap. We review every policy that might apply.
Will my case go to court?
Most do not. Insurers pay closer attention to a firm that is ready to try a case, so we prepare each one as if it will be tried. If the offer is not fair, we file suit, and you decide with us whether to settle or go to trial.
