Why Greeley Residents Need an Experienced Injury Lawyer
Greeley is the most populous city in Weld County and serves as the county seat, with a population that has grown to approximately 116,000 residents. Located in the High Plains of northern Colorado about 49 miles north-northeast of Denver, Greeley sits at the intersection of several major highway corridors that carry heavy commercial and commuter traffic. Weld County recorded 67 traffic fatalities in 2024, a 20 percent increase over the 55 fatalities recorded in 2023, making it the third deadliest county in Colorado according to CDOT data.
Anderson Hemmat serves Greeley accident victims from our Greenwood Village office. Our attorneys are experienced with Weld County's court system and have a proven track record of representing clients in complex personal injury cases. We offer free case evaluations and work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
The effective representation by our personal injury attorneys has not gone unnoticed. They have received various honors such as:
Dangerous Roads in Greeley
Greeley's road network includes several high-traffic corridors with documented histories of serious and fatal accidents. The city has identified 26 junctions as high-injury intersections that account for nearly a quarter of all fatal and serious injury crashes within city limits.
US Highway 34: A major east-west corridor through Greeley that carries heavy commercial and commuter traffic. This highway has been the site of multiple fatal crashes, including a 2024 rollover near Highway 257 that killed two people and seriously injured three others.
US Highway 85: A north-south corridor that serves as a major transportation route for commercial trucks traveling through Weld County. The highway has a long history of severe head-on collisions and multi-vehicle accidents, and has been the focus of safety improvement efforts for over two decades.
Highway 257: Intersects with US 34 at a high-traffic junction west of Greeley. This intersection has been the site of fatal accidents including high-speed rollovers. The combination of highway speeds and turning traffic creates dangerous conditions.
10th Street: A primary east-west arterial through Greeley with heavy traffic volumes and multiple high-injury intersections. The intersections at 35th Avenue and 47th Avenue have been identified as particularly dangerous, with fatal crashes involving motorcycles, multi-vehicle collisions, and high-speed red-light violations.
35th Avenue and 47th Avenue: These north-south arterials intersect with 10th Street at locations identified as high-injury intersections. The city has planned grade-separated interchanges at both locations to address the ongoing crash problems at these junctions.
Oil and Gas Industry Traffic in Weld County
Weld County is responsible for approximately 83 percent of all crude oil extraction and 56 percent of all natural gas produced in Colorado, making it one of the most active oil and gas producing counties in the nation. This level of industrial activity generates substantial heavy truck traffic on Greeley-area roads. Drilling rigs alone can require 60 to 100 separate truckloads to transport, and each producing well generates ongoing truck trips for water hauling, materials delivery, and waste removal.
Peer-reviewed research published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that Colorado counties with greater oil and gas activity have statistically significant higher rates of truck traffic accidents per capita. A Colorado stakeholder taskforce reported uniform agreement that one of the most serious impacts of oil and gas activity involves the use of large trucks and trailers on local roads. If you have been injured in a collision involving a commercial or industrial vehicle in the Greeley area, our attorneys have experience handling complex truck accident claims.
Types of Cases We Handle for Greeley Residents
Car Accidents: Highway collisions on US 34 and US 85, intersection crashes on 10th Street, and accidents caused by distracted, impaired, or speeding drivers on Greeley roads.
Truck Accidents: Collisions involving commercial trucks, oil and gas industry vehicles, and agricultural equipment on Weld County roads and highways.
Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcycle riders in Greeley face dangers from heavy truck traffic and high-speed highway corridors where visibility and road conditions contribute to serious accidents.
Pedestrian Accidents: Pedestrian injuries near the University of Northern Colorado campus, downtown Greeley, and along busy arterials like 10th Street.
Bicycle Accidents: Cyclist injuries on Greeley roads where bicycle infrastructure must coexist with heavy commercial traffic.
Catastrophic Injuries and Wrongful Death: When accidents on Greeley roads result in life-changing injuries or death, our attorneys pursue full compensation for victims and their families.
Premises Liability: Slip and fall injuries at Greeley businesses, retail locations, restaurants, and properties.
