Colorado Car Crashes
Traffic accidents are a serious and ongoing concern throughout Colorado, and the Denver metro area is no exception. With its growing population, dense urban traffic, and ever-expanding road network, Denver has become a hotspot for vehicle collisions. Thousands of crashes occur every month on city streets, highways, and interstates—and while many factors can play a role, the overwhelming cause of most accidents remains human error.
According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 94% of traffic crashes across the United States are caused by some form of driver negligence. In Denver, common causes include distracted driving, speeding, driving under the influence, and fatigued driving. These reckless behaviors continue to put innocent lives at risk every single day.
It only takes a few seconds of inattention to cause a serious accident. At highway speeds, glancing at a phone or adjusting your navigation for just five seconds is like driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed. The consequences can be life-altering—for both victims and their families.
If you or someone you care about has been seriously injured in a car accident in Denver due to someone else’s negligence, you may be feeling overwhelmed.
