Colorado Auto Accidents

Every day in Colorado, lives are turned upside down by traffic accidents. With more than 100,000 crashes reported annually across the state, the impact on individuals and families is staggering. These collisions result in tens of thousands of injuries and claim hundreds of lives each year—many of which are entirely preventable.

Driver negligence is at the heart of most of these incidents. Whether it’s speeding through a red light, texting while driving, getting behind the wheel under the influence, or simply not paying attention, careless behavior on the road can have devastating consequences. For victims, the aftermath can mean long hospital stays, painful recoveries, and mounting medical expenses—not to mention the emotional trauma and disruption to everyday life.

Among the leading causes of crashes today is distracted driving. Despite growing public awareness, distractions behind the wheel—especially from smartphones—continue to fuel a rising number of accidents, injuries, and fatalities across Colorado.
