Broomfield Personal Injury Lawyer

Why Broomfield Residents Need an Experienced Injury Lawyer

Broomfield is unique in Colorado as a consolidated city and county, the 64th and newest county in the state. With an estimated population of over 74,000 residents as of the 2020 Census, Broomfield sits midway between Denver and Boulder along the US-36 corridor — a highway that carries between 80,000 and 120,000 vehicle trips per day. This strategic location makes Broomfield a hub for commuter traffic, commercial activity, and unfortunately, serious motor vehicle accidents.

Before becoming its own county on November 15, 2001, Broomfield was split across four different counties — Adams, Boulder, Jefferson, and Weld — creating jurisdictional challenges for residents. Colorado voters approved a constitutional amendment in 1998 to create the consolidated city and county, and after a three-year transition period, Broomfield became the newest county in Colorado. This unique governmental structure means that personal injury cases in Broomfield are handled within the 17th Judicial District, and having an attorney who understands this specific jurisdiction is critical.

Our attorneys are experienced with the Broomfield County court system, the insurance companies that operate in this region, and the specific challenges that Broomfield accident victims face.

Dangerous Roads and Highways in Broomfield

Broomfield encompasses approximately 33 square miles along the Front Range, mainly between US Highway 36 and Interstate 25. The city's road network includes several major highways and arterial roads that carry heavy traffic and have documented histories of serious accidents:

• US-36 (Denver-Boulder Turnpike): The US-36 corridor diagonally bisects Broomfield and is the primary commuter highway connecting Denver and Boulder. The intersection of US-36 and Wadsworth Boulevard has been identified as one of the highest-ranked crash intersections in Broomfield. The highway's Express Lanes, high-speed merging traffic, and heavy daily volume create dangerous conditions for motorists, particularly near the Flatiron Crossing and Interlocken interchanges.

• Interstate 25: I-25 runs along the eastern edge of Broomfield, carrying heavy north-south traffic between Denver and northern Colorado. The interchanges where I-25 meets E-470 and the Northwest Parkway near Broomfield are particularly congested and accident-prone areas.

• Wadsworth Boulevard/Wadsworth Parkway: A heavily traveled north-south arterial running through the heart of Broomfield. The intersections of Wadsworth with US-36 and with 120th Avenue are among the most dangerous in the city, with high traffic volume and frequent turning movements contributing to collisions.

• 120th Avenue: This major east-west arterial carries high traffic volume across Broomfield. The Broomfield Police Department Traffic Unit routinely conducts special enforcement on 120th Avenue due to speeding and street racing concerns.

• Midway Boulevard and Sheridan Boulevard: The intersection of Sheridan Boulevard and Midway Boulevard is identified as a dangerous intersection in Broomfield. This area sees heavy traffic from commuters and local residents, and has been the site of serious pedestrian and vehicle accidents.

• Flatiron Crossing Area: FlatIron Crossing is a major shopping destination with nearly 1.5 million square feet of retail space and 200 stores. The surrounding road network near Flatiron Crossing Drive and Interlocken Loop generates significant traffic, particularly during peak shopping hours and holiday seasons, increasing accident risk in the area.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Broomfield

Our experienced personal injury attorneys handle all types of injury cases for Broomfield residents:

• Car Accidents: From highway collisions on US-36 and I-25 to intersection crashes on Wadsworth Boulevard and 120th Avenue, we represent Broomfield car accident victims in claims involving distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, and reckless driving.

• Truck Accidents: The US-36 corridor and I-25 carry significant commercial truck traffic through Broomfield, particularly serving the Interlocken business park and surrounding commercial areas. Truck accident claims are complex and often involve multiple liable parties including the trucking company, driver, and equipment manufacturers.

• Motorcycle Accidents: Broomfield's busy highways and multi-lane intersections are particularly hazardous for motorcyclists. The US-36 corridor has seen fatal motorcycle accidents, and we fight for fair compensation for motorcycle accident injuries throughout Broomfield.

• Pedestrian Accidents: High-traffic corridors like Midway Boulevard and Wadsworth Parkway, as well as commercial areas near FlatIron Crossing and the Arista mixed-use development, see pedestrian accidents caused by distracted or negligent drivers.

• Bicycle Accidents: Broomfield's location along the Front Range and its network of trails and bike lanes attract cyclists, but busy arterials like Wadsworth Boulevard and 120th Avenue remain dangerous for riders sharing the road with motor vehicles.

• Catastrophic Injuries: When accidents result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, paralysis, or amputations, our attorneys pursue the maximum compensation needed for long-term care and recovery.

• Wrongful Death: We provide compassionate legal representation to families who have lost loved ones in Broomfield accidents.

• Premises Liability: Slip and fall injuries at FlatIron Crossing mall, Interlocken business park, Arista development, and other Broomfield commercial properties.

Broomfield Court Jurisdiction

Broomfield is part of Colorado's 17th Judicial District, which encompasses both Adams County and Broomfield County. The 17th Judicial District is currently the third largest judicial district in Colorado by caseload volume. Personal injury lawsuits involving Broomfield accidents are filed at the Broomfield Combined Court, located at 17 DesCombes Drive, Broomfield, CO 80020. The Broomfield courthouse is staffed by two district court judges and one county court judge.

Because Broomfield is its own consolidated city and county — rather than being split across four counties as it was before 2001 — personal injury claims are now handled within a single, streamlined jurisdiction. Our attorneys are experienced with the Broomfield County court system and will ensure your case is filed correctly and handled efficiently. Colorado's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident, so it is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
