What We Take On

Why Golden Residents Choose a Foothills Firm Over a Downtown Denver Attorney

Most personal injury firms in Colorado are concentrated in Denver. They advertise heavily, staff large call centers, and assign your case to whoever is available. When you call The Fields Group, you reach someone who knows your case — not a stranger reading from a screen. We know Jefferson County courts the way a local firm should, and we don't treat Golden clients as a secondary market. We're your neighbors, and we handle your case like it.

What the Jefferson County Courthouse Means for Your Case

The Jefferson County Courthouse in Golden is one of the most recognizable courtrooms in Colorado — it has appeared in film and television and carries a distinct weight in the local legal community. Doug Fields has tried cases there for decades. That familiarity isn't a minor detail. Knowing the local judges, understanding how Jefferson County juries respond to evidence and arguments, and having a track record in that specific courthouse gives our clients a meaningful advantage that an out-of-town firm simply cannot replicate.

Common FAQs

Answers to Common Questions from Golden Injury Victims

  • How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Golden, CO?

    Nothing upfront. The Fields Group handles all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees and we advance all case expenses. Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict we recover on your behalf — if there is no recovery, there is no fee.

  • How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Colorado?

    Colorado's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury. Certain cases — including medical malpractice and claims against government entities — have shorter deadlines. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the better your position for preserving evidence and meeting all filing requirements.

  • What if the insurance company has already made me an offer?

    Do not accept a settlement offer before consulting with an attorney. Initial offers from insurance companies are typically far below the full value of a claim. Once you accept and sign a release, you cannot pursue additional compensation. We review offers at no charge and can tell you whether what you've been offered reflects the actual value of your case.

  • Do I have to go to court if I hire a personal injury attorney?

    Most personal injury cases resolve through negotiation before trial. However, if the insurer refuses to offer fair compensation, we are prepared to take your case to the Jefferson County Courthouse and try it before a jury. Our willingness to go to trial — and our track record of doing so — is often what compels insurers to settle fairly.

  • Can The Fields Group handle my case if my accident happened outside of Golden?

    Yes. We serve clients throughout Jefferson County, Arapahoe County, the greater Denver metro, and across Colorado. Our office is in Conifer, and we regularly represent clients in Golden, Evergreen, Bailey, and communities throughout the foothills and Front Range.
