BACKGROUND & CREDENTIALS

 Ferrell earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Colorado Boulder and his Juris Doctor from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.

APPROACH TO CASES

Ferrell maintains a deliberately small caseload so clients work directly with him rather than case managers or support staff. He has taken more than twenty jury trials to verdict in Colorado courts and approaches insurance negotiations on the premise that a case may go to trial rather than settle for less than full value. His litigation work includes disputed liability, comparative fault disputes, and bad faith insurance claims litigated in federal court.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most Colorado personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. If your case involves a motor vehicle accident, the deadline extends to three years. Claims against a government entity require written notice within 182 days, so it’s important to speak with an attorney early.

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

Yes, as long as you were less than 50% at fault. Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule (C.R.S. § 13-21-111): your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re barred from recovering anything if you’re found 50% or more responsible.

Can I still recover damages if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Seek medical attention, document the scene and your injuries, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the insurance company before speaking with an attorney. An early consultation helps preserve evidence and protects your claim within Colorado’s filing deadlines.

What should I do after a car accident in Boulder?

Not necessarily — most cases settle. But insurers evaluate claims differently when they know the attorney is prepared and willing to take a case to verdict, which can affect settlement offers before trial is ever necessary.

Do I need to go to trial to get a fair settlement?

Personal injury attorneys typically work on contingency, meaning you pay no upfront fee and the attorney is paid a percentage of any settlement or verdict. Ask about the specific fee structure during your free consultation.
