Colorado’s Most Serious Injury Cases
Michael Ferrell is a personal injury trial lawyer representing individuals injured in car accidents, commercial vehicle collisions, motorcycle and bicycle crashes, pedestrian accidents, slip and fall incidents, premises liability matters, and medical malpractice cases. Through The Ferrell Law Firm, he represents clients throughout Colorado, with a significant focus on Boulder, Denver, Longmont, and surrounding communities.Mike concentrates on serious injury and wrongful death cases.

Trial Experience That Gets Insurance Companies’ Attention
Trial experience is a differentiator in personal injury work. Many injury lawyers market aggressively but rarely, if ever, step into a courtroom. Mike has tried more than twenty jury trials to verdict in Colorado courts—a level of experience that immediately changes how insurers value a case.
Insurers pay attention because they:
- Track which lawyers actually litigate
- Adjust their risk assessments based on opposing counsel
- Offer more when they know trial is a real possibility
Mike’s litigation background includes:
- Depositions of medical providers, experts, and witnesses
- Work with treating physicians, accident reconstructionists, and other experts
- Handling disputed liability, comparative fault, and complex causation issues
- Negotiating high-value UM/UIM claims and policy-limits demands
- Presenting clear, well-supported cases to judges and juries
He represents clients throughout Boulder, Denver, Longmont, Broomfield, Louisville, Lafayette, Westminster, Arvada, Aurora, Thornton, and surrounding Colorado communities.

He also represents clients in:
