Fort Collins and Denver Personal Injury Lawyer

Attorney Aaron Israels is a Colorado‑based personal injury lawyer with offices in Fort Collins and Denver, proudly serving clients throughout Northern Colorado and the North Denver Metro. Aaron is committed to helping injured people and their families secure full and fair compensation after serious accidents caused by negligence.

If you or someone you love was injured in Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Greeley, Longmont, Boulder, Westminster, Thornton, or anywhere in North Denver or Northern Colorado, you deserve a lawyer who understands both the law and the community. Aaron Understands how accidents happen, how insurance companies operate, and what it takes to protect your future.

How We Can Help Injury Victims in Northern Colorado

Not every accident requires a lawyer. Sometimes injuries truly are unavoidable. But when an accident happens because someone failed to act responsibly, you should not be left to carry the burden alone.

Imagine slipping on an icy sidewalk outside a Fort Collins grocery store on South College Avenue, being hit by a distracted driver on I‑25 near Harmony Road or suffering injuries in a multi‑vehicle crash on Highway 287 or U.S. 34. In situations like these, another person or company may be legally responsible — and having an experienced Fort Collins and North Denver personal injury attorney like Aaron Israels can make all the difference.

Many people believe filing an insurance claim is enough. Unfortunately, insurance companies are there to make a profit. Their goal is to limit payouts, even when their insured is clearly at fault. Without legal representation, injured victims often receive far less than their claim is truly worth.

Aaron Israels focuses on protecting you — not the insurance company’s bottom line. From the very beginning, we evaluate liability, document damages, and position your case for maximum recovery.


What Sets Aaron Understands Apart

In addition to legal experience and being a licensed Colorado attorney, Aaron Israels brings local knowledge of Northern Colorado and the North Denver Metro. We understand how accidents commonly occur along I-25, Highway 287, College Avenue, U.S. 34, and major commuter corridors connecting Fort Collins to Denver. This regional insight allows us to investigate cases efficiently and anticipate the tactics used by local insurers and local defense attorneys.

Aaron Israels is not a volume‑based lawyer. Personal injury law is his passion, and every case receives his individualized attention.

  • We accept challenging cases others turn away
  • We accept small cases and cases with less obvious liability
  • We prepare every case as if it will go to trial
  • We understand local roads, insurers, and courts in Northern Colorado
  • We fight back when insurance companies delay, deny, or undervalue claims

Our approach is straightforward: do what is right for our client, even when that means pushing harder or going further than the insurance company expects.


Why Choose Aaron Israels as Your Personal Injury Lawyer

Insurance companies have teams of adjusters, investigators, and lawyers working to protect their interests. You deserve someone just as committed to protecting yours.

Personal Injury Practice Areas We Handle

We represent injury victims across Fort Collins, North Denver, and Northern Colorado in a wide range of cases, including:

Auto Accidents

Car crashes often result in serious injuries, lost income, and long-term medical needs. Whether your accident involved distracted driving, speeding, or impaired driving, we hold negligent drivers accountable and pursue full compensation. Auto accidents are especially common along I-25, Highway 287, College Avenue, and major North Denver corridors like I-76 and U.S. 36, where congestion and aggressive driving increase risk. We regularly help clients injured in rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and highway pileups throughout Fort Collins and North Denver. As a Colorado car crash attorney, Aaron Israels is ready to take on the insurance companies and fight for your rights.

Boat Accidents

Boating accidents on Colorado lakes and reservoirs can lead to catastrophic injuries. We investigate operator negligence, intoxication, and safety violations to protect injured victims. Accidents frequently occur on Horsetooth Reservoir, Boyd Lake, and other popular Northern Colorado waterways, especially during peak summer months. We work quickly to preserve evidence and identify all liable parties, including operators, rental companies, and insurers. Our legal team understands laws affecting boating and water sports in Colorado and knows how to maximize compensation for water and boat accident victims.

Truck Accidents

Commercial truck crashes often involve complex liability issues and aggressive insurers. We conduct thorough investigations and fight trucking companies and their insurers for full recovery. Tractor-trailer and delivery truck accidents are common along I-25, I-76, and Highway 34, where heavy commercial traffic mixes with local commuters. These cases often require expert analysis of driver logs, maintenance records, and federal safety regulations. If you’ve been injured in a Colorado semi-truck accident, we will fight for the highest compensation for your injuries, medical bills, and lost income.

Rideshare Accidents Like Uber and Lyft

Rideshare accidents involve layered insurance policies and unique legal challenges. We identify all available coverage and pursue every source of compensation. Whether your crash occurred in downtown Fort Collins, near CSU, or in busy North Denver neighborhoods, rideshare claims require precise timing and documentation. We handle disputes involving driver status, app activity, and competing insurance carriers. As Colorado rideshare accident attorneys, we understand the legal complexities and will aggressively pursue compensation on your behalf.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians often suffer life-altering injuries when struck by vehicles. If you were hit while walking, jogging, or crossing the street, you have rights. Pedestrian accidents frequently happen near intersections, school zones, and urban corridors such as College Avenue, Old Town Fort Collins, and North Denver arterial roads. Our firm will investigate your case, gather evidence, and aggressively pursue the compensation needed to cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost income. We believe in holding careless drivers accountable for their actions. If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident in Colorado, our attorneys are here to help you recover the money you deserve and seek justice.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists have little protection in a crash, making injuries particularly severe. Motorcycle accidents are common along scenic Colorado Front Range routes and high-speed corridors where drivers fail to yield or check blind spots. If a negligent driver caused your accident, we will fight to ensure you receive fair compensation. Insurance companies often try to blame riders, but we will push back against unfair bias and work to establish the true cause of the crash to strengthen your claim. Our experienced Colorado motorcycle accident lawyers will stand up for your rights and seek the maximum compensation for your injuries.

Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists face significant risks from distracted and careless drivers. We protect injured bicyclists throughout Northern Colorado and the Front Range. Bicycle crashes frequently occur near bike lanes, trail crossings, and urban streets in Fort Collins, Boulder, and surrounding communities. We pursue compensation for medical care, lost wages, and damage to bicycles and equipment. If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident in Colorado, let us help you get the justice and compensation you deserve.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to negligence is heartbreaking and life-changing. While no amount of money can replace your loved one’s lost life, a wrongful death claim can provide financial stability to family members and hold negligent parties accountable. We will handle your case with compassion and determination, fighting to secure justice and the highest compensation for your family. If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence in the state of Colorado, we will guide you through the legal process every step of the way.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Property owners in Fort Collins and Denver have a duty to maintain a safe premises, and when they fail, serious injuries can occur and you may need a personal injury lawyer. If you slipped and fell due to hazardous conditions like wet floors, icy sidewalks, poor lighting, or uneven surfaces, we will work to hold the property owner accountable. Our team will gather evidence, consult with experts, and build a strong case to maximize your recovery. Colorado slip and fall injury claims require strong legal representation, and we are here to fight for you.

Dog Bites

Dog attacks can cause permanent physical and emotional harm. Colorado law protects victims, and we enforce those rights. Dog bite incidents often occur in residential neighborhoods, parks, and apartment complexes throughout Northern Colorado. We pursue compensation for medical treatment, scarring, and psychological trauma. If you or a loved one has been attacked by a dog in Colorado, we will pursue the justice you deserve.

Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Elderly individuals deserve care and dignity. Yet nursing home neglect and abuse are all too common. If your loved one has suffered from mistreatment, unexplained injuries, inadequate care, medication errors, understaffing, or abuse in a nursing facility, we will take full legal action to protect their rights. Our firm is committed to holding negligent caregivers and institutions accountable for the harm they cause. If you suspect nursing home abuse in the state of Colorado, contact us immediately to protect your loved one’s rights.

Areas We Serve

We proudly represent clients throughout Northern Colorado and the North Denver Metro, including:

Fort Collins, Denver, Loveland, Windsor, Greeley, Longmont, Boulder, Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn, Arvada, Broomfield, Superior, Lafayette, Louisville, Erie, Brighton, Fort Lupton, Frederick, Dacono, Lyons, and surrounding communities.

Personal Injury Claims vs. Insurance Claims

A personal injury claim seeks compensation for physical, emotional, and financial harm caused by negligence. Insurance claims are handled by insurers and often prioritize cost control over fairness.

Typically, an insurance claim is filed first. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, a personal injury lawsuit may be necessary. We handle both — and we know when it’s time to escalate.


Compensation Available in Colorado Personal Injury Cases

Depending on the circumstances, Aaron Israels will fight to recover compensation that may include:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress

Colorado follows a “modified comparative negligence rule”, which means you may still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault.


Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after an accident? After an accident in Fort Collins or the North Denver metro area, your first priority should always be your safety and health. Call 911 and seek medical attention—even if you believe your injuries are minor. Many injuries common in I-25, Harmony Road, and College Avenue crashes (such as whiplash, concussions, or soft-tissue injuries) may not show symptoms right away. 

If you are able, document the scene by taking photos or videos of the vehicles, road conditions, traffic signals, and your injuries. Exchange information with the other parties and gather contact details for any witnesses.  Do not speculate about what happened when talking to police, your insurance company or medical providers.  Contact your insurance company to document what happened, but do not speculate about the details. Once things are under control, contact attorney Aaron Israels as soon as you can so that he can help protect you from insurance tactics that may harm your claim. Do not discuss your case with the other sides’ insurance company.

How do I know if I have a valid claim? You may have a valid claim if someone else was negligent, that negligence caused an accident, and you suffered injuries or financial losses as a result. A free consultation can clarify your options. Call us at 720-599-3505.

What if I was partially at fault? Colorado follows comparative negligence rules. If you are less than 50% at fault, you may still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault.

How long do I have to file a claim? Colorado’s statute of limitations varies by case type, but waiting too long can harm your claim.  Many personal injury claims have a two-year statute of limitations.  Injuries arising from a motor vehicle have a three-year statute of limitations. It is always best to contact our office as soon as possible as there may be other timing issues.

Do cases usually settle? Many do, but we prepare every case as if we have to take it to trial to maximize your leverage and your payouts.

How do fees work? We work on a contingency fee basis—meaning no fee unless we recover compensation for you. There are also no up-front fees to hire us.
