Colorado Traffic Accidents
Auto accidents remain a serious and rising problem throughout the United States, and Denver is no exception. With traffic congestion on the rise, ongoing construction projects, and a fast-moving city atmosphere, the Mile High City has become a frequent site of motor vehicle collisions. In the past year alone, more than 19,000 crashes were reported in Denver, many of which involved serious injuries or fatalities. Tragically, the majority of these accidents could have been prevented, as most are still caused by one main factor: human error.
From distracted driving to speeding, impaired drivers, or simple fatigue, negligent behavior continues to put lives at risk across Colorado’s roads. When a serious crash occurs, the impact can be immediate and devastating. Victims may find themselves dealing with a long and painful recovery, expensive medical treatments, lost income, and lasting emotional trauma—all because another driver made a reckless decision.
