Denver Speeding Accident Lawyer

Denver Speeding Accident Attorney Serving Colorado

In most communities throughout the United States, driving is an essential part of life. The majority of people spend some time on the road nearly every day, whether they are commuting to and from work, running errands, or traveling for other purposes. With so many vehicles on the roads, it is essential for drivers to abide by all traffic laws, which have been put in place to protect people's safety. Unfortunately, traffic violations are common. Whether they occur out of carelessness, because drivers are running late and need to get to their destinations more quickly, or because a person is behaving aggressively and refusing to respect others' safety, these violations can put everyone on the road at risk of being injured in a car accident.

Motor vehicle collisions can result in a variety of serious injuries, and drivers who behave unsafely may be held responsible for the damages they have caused to others.

Common Traffic Violations That Can Lead to Collisions

Traffic laws have been created to ensure that all vehicles can share the roads safely. By limiting drivers to appropriate speeds, ensuring that vehicles maintain a safe distance from each other, requiring drivers to yield the right of way to others when necessary, and directing vehicles through intersections, entrances, and exits in a way that maintains a safe and steady flow of traffic, these laws protect the safety of drivers, passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, those on scooters, and anyone else who travels on or near roads and highways. However, to maintain the proper level of safety, all drivers must abide by the appropriate laws and take care to act as safely as possible.

There are numerous ways that violations of traffic laws can put others at risk. These include:

• Speeding - Speed limits ensure that drivers can safely slow down and stop when needed. Many drivers violate these limits, and they may do so because they believe they can drive safely at higher speeds, because they think a speed limit is too low, or because they wish to get to their destinations more quickly. However, drivers who speed are more likely to lose control of their vehicles, and they may be unable to slow down in time to avoid collisions with vehicles that are abiding by the speed limit, drivers who are entering or exiting the roadway, or pedestrians who are crossing the street.
• Disobeying traffic signs and signals - Intersections are one of the locations where accidents take place most often, and these collisions may occur because drivers run red lights or stop signs. These violations may involve a driver continuing through an intersection when a traffic light changes or failing to stop at a stop sign because they believe that traffic is clear. When committing these types of violations, drivers may fail to notice vehicles traveling in other directions or making turns at an intersection, and this can lead to dangerous collisions.
• Aggressive driving - Issues such as road rage, being behind schedule, or disregarding other people's safety can lead drivers to behave aggressively when behind the wheel, and this can result in multiple types of accidents. Tailgating closely behind cars that a person believes are traveling too slowly can lead to rear-end accidents if a vehicle slows down suddenly. Illegal passing may lead a driver to enter oncoming traffic lanes, which could result in a head-on collision. Aggressive drivers may also cut off other vehicles, make illegal turns in front of cars or motorcycles, force other cars off the road when changing lanes, or refuse to allow other drivers to merge into traffic.
