Colorado Car Accidents
Auto accidents are a daily reality in Denver, where thousands of collisions occur each year on city streets, highways, and residential roads. As one of Colorado’s busiest urban areas, Denver sees a high volume of traffic, and with that comes a greater risk of injury. In recent years, the Denver metro area has reported some of the highest crash rates in the state, with thousands of people seriously hurt and hundreds tragically killed.
For those injured in a car crash, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Between hospital stays, rehabilitation, missed work, and mounting bills, recovery can feel like an uphill battle. Common crash-related injuries, such as fractures, head trauma, spinal cord damage, and chronic pain, often require long-term treatment and impact every aspect of life.
Many of these accidents are preventable. Across Denver, negligent driving remains the top cause of collisions. According to national safety statistics, more than 90% of crashes involve driver error. In the city, distracted driving (especially texting behind the wheel), speeding, impaired driving, and running red lights are some of the most frequent contributors to serious wrecks.
Denver’s traffic density, frequent construction zones, and unpredictable weather, especially icy winter roads, can further increase the likelihood of an accident. Major roadways like I-25, I-70, and Colfax Avenue are common hotspots for collisions, particularly during rush hour.
