After more than a decade defending insurance companies State Farm and GEICO in car accident cases, Doug Allen switched sides, and the institutional knowledge he carries from that work now operates entirely in favor of injured clients at Allen Accident Law. Located in Fort Collins, CO, and reachable at 970-232-0774, the firm handles traffic-related injury cases exclusively, with a practice record that includes more than 10,000 personal injury settlements and over $15 million recovered.

Introduction

Fort Collins sits at the center of a network of roads, highways, and cycling corridors where accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians occur regularly. Allen Accident Law is built entirely around these cases. The firm does not handle family law, estate planning, or criminal defense. Traffic-related injury is the entire practice, which means that every resource, every developed relationship with medical providers, and every negotiating pattern Doug Allen has refined over 32 years of experience applies directly to the cases his clients bring.

The firm’s results reflect this focus: 99 percent of cases settle without going to court, Doug Allen personally settles each one, and his background on the defense side of the insurance industry gives him a precise understanding of how carriers evaluate and fight claims.

Services are available in English and Spanish.

Attorney Profile

Doug Allen has practiced personal injury law in Northern Colorado for 32 years. Before representing injured clients, he spent years on the other side of these disputes, defending State Farm and GEICO against car accident claims. That background gives him specific knowledge of how insurance companies assign value to cases, which arguments they take seriously, and which tactics they use to reduce settlements.

Allen is a member of the National Board of Trial Advocacy and the National Academy of Personal Injury Attorneys, and he has settled more than 10,000 cases personally. His claim that no attorney in Fort Collins gets higher settlements is a firm assertion, and the volume of cases behind that claim is substantial.

Practice Areas

Allen Accident Law handles traffic-related injury cases only. That scope covers:

Car accidents are the most frequent case type. Whether caused by distracted driving, impairment, speeding, or failure to yield, the firm pursues full compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain, and long-term consequences.

Truck accidents present different liability structures than standard car crashes, often involving commercial carriers, federal regulations, and multiple potentially liable parties. The firm handles these cases within its exclusive traffic injury focus.

Motorcycle accidents frequently result in severe injuries because riders lack the structural protection that enclosed vehicles provide. The firm represents motorcyclists injured by negligent drivers.

Bicycle accidents in Northern Colorado’s active cycling community result in serious injuries when drivers fail to share the road. The firm handles these claims.

Pedestrian accidents involve some of the most serious injuries in traffic law, and the firm represents pedestrians struck by vehicles.

Drunk driving accidents may generate both civil and criminal consequences. The civil claim for damages from a drunk driver is handled by the firm independently of any criminal proceedings.

Rideshare accidents involving Lyft and Uber require navigating corporate insurance structures that differ from standard personal auto coverage. The firm handles both driver and passenger claims in these situations.

Location and Service Area

Allen Accident Law is located at 1901 Glenview Ct, Fort Collins, CO 80526, and serves Northern Colorado communities. The firm handles cases throughout the region. Clients can call 970-232-0774 to reach the firm.

Client Focus

Two structural commitments define how Allen Accident Law operates for its clients.

First, the firm gets clients proper medical care even without upfront payment. Injuries from traffic accidents often require immediate treatment that many people cannot afford while waiting for a case to resolve. The firm navigates this problem so that clients can get the care they need without delaying treatment for financial reasons.

Second, Doug Allen handles the settlement personally. This is not a firm where a senior attorney pitches the case and a junior handles the work. Allen brings 32 years of experience and his specific knowledge of insurance company behavior directly to each settlement he negotiates.
