Venue in Colorado Semi Truck Accident

courthouse pillars The facts of your Colorado truck accident will determine whether the lawsuit will be filed in state or federal court. The facts will also determine if the suit should be filed in Colorado or another state. These are critical decisions that should be made by an experienced attorney.

Colorado state trial courts are called district courts. Colorado is divided into 22 judicial districts, each of which has one or more counties. Because some Colorado counties have relatively small populations and caseloads, the legislature has combined them into multicounty judicial districts.

The federal trial court in Colorado is the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The District covers the State of Colorado, with courthouses in Denver, Colorado Springs, Durango and Grand Junction.
