Why Englewood Residents Choose Anderson Hemmat

Englewood is a home rule city in Arapahoe County, situated in the heart of the southern Denver metro area.

Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Englewood

Englewood's compact geography and position at the crossroads of several major corridors create a high concentration of traffic accidents:

• South Santa Fe Drive (US-85): A high-speed, multi-lane north-south highway that carries heavy commuter and commercial traffic through Englewood. This corridor has been the site of numerous serious collisions, including incidents involving vehicles traveling well over the posted speed limit. The intersection of Santa Fe Drive and Hampden Avenue is a particularly high-traffic junction near the CityCenter Englewood redevelopment and the RTD light rail station.

• South Broadway: A major north-south arterial connecting Englewood to Denver and Littleton. South Broadway runs through the heart of Englewood and carries high traffic volumes past commercial areas, generating frequent rear-end collisions and pedestrian accidents.

• Hampden Avenue (US-285): A critical east-west route through the southern part of Englewood known for dangerous curves and high-speed traffic. This road has seen fatal motorcycle and vehicle collisions, and businesses along the corridor have experienced multiple vehicle crashes into buildings due to a hazardous curve near the Shoppes at Cherry Hills.

• Belleview Avenue: An east-west arterial along the southern boundary of Englewood that connects to the Denver Tech Center. Belleview carries significant daily traffic and has been the site of serious intersection collisions, including fatal crashes at intersections that lack traffic signals.

• Oxford Avenue and the Englewood Light Rail Station Area: The area around the Englewood RTD light rail station at Santa Fe Drive and Oxford Avenue sees heavy pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicle traffic. The city has invested in safety improvements including a new pedestrian bridge on Oxford Avenue to reduce conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles in this busy transit-oriented corridor.

World-Class Medical Facilities in Englewood

Englewood is home to two of the most important medical facilities in Colorado for accident victims. The proximity of these hospitals to the community means that Englewood residents who are seriously injured can receive rapid, expert care.

• Swedish Medical Center (HCA HealthONE Swedish): A 504-bed acute care hospital in Englewood and one of only three Level I Trauma Centers in Colorado. Swedish is a regional referral center for neurotrauma and became the first Comprehensive Stroke Center in Colorado. The hospital treats more than 200,000 patients annually and provides critical emergency care for accident victims from across the Denver metro area and the Rocky Mountain region.

• Craig Hospital: Located at 3425 South Clarkson Street in Englewood, Craig Hospital is a world-renowned 93-bed rehabilitation hospital that specializes exclusively in spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury. Craig has treated more spinal cord injury patients than any other facility in the world and has been ranked among the top rehabilitation hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for over 35 consecutive years. Craig is designated as a National Model System Center for both spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury.

When an accident results in a catastrophic injury such as a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord damage, the costs of treatment and long-term rehabilitation at facilities like Craig Hospital can reach millions of dollars. Our attorneys understand the full scope of these damages and fight to ensure that injury victims receive compensation that accounts for their current and future medical needs.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Englewood

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

• Car Accidents: From high-speed collisions on Santa Fe Drive and Hampden Avenue to intersection crashes on South Broadway and Belleview Avenue, we represent Englewood car accident victims in claims involving distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, and reckless driving.

• Truck Accidents: South Santa Fe Drive (US-85) carries significant commercial truck traffic through the Englewood area. Truck accident claims are complex and often involve multiple liable parties including the trucking company, driver, and equipment manufacturers.

• Motorcycle Accidents: Hampden Avenue has been the site of fatal motorcycle collisions, and the high-speed corridors through Englewood pose particular dangers for riders. We fight for fair compensation for motorcycle accident injuries.

• Pedestrian Accidents: High-traffic areas near the Englewood RTD light rail station, along South Broadway, and around the CityCenter Englewood redevelopment see frequent pedestrian accidents, especially during commute hours.

• Bicycle Accidents: The mix of transit, vehicle, and bicycle traffic near Englewood light rail stations and along major arterials creates dangerous conditions for cyclists.

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

Englewood Court Jurisdiction

Englewood is located in Arapahoe County, part of Colorado's 18th Judicial District. As of January 2025, the 18th Judicial District serves Arapahoe County exclusively, after Douglas, Elbert, and Lincoln counties separated to form the new 23rd Judicial District. Personal injury lawsuits involving Englewood accidents are typically filed in Arapahoe County District Court. The Arapahoe County Justice Center is located at 7325 South Potomac Street in Centennial, and a second courthouse is located at 1790 West Littleton Boulevard in Littleton. Our attorneys are very familiar with the Arapahoe County court system and will ensure your case is filed correctly and handled efficiently.
