Legal Help With Multiple Types of Colorado Springs Car Accidents

Motor vehicle collisions can result in multiple types of serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, whiplash or other neck injuries, broken bones, and sprains, joint dislocations, or other soft tissue injuries. If you have been injured in a car accident, it is important to seek medical attention right away. Even if you do not feel like you are injured, it is important to get checked out by a doctor. Many injuries do not manifest themselves until days or even weeks after the accident occurred.

Our attorneys can assist with multiple types of auto accidents, including:

• Head-on collisions - Frontal-impact collisions may be caused by drivers who enter oncoming traffic when passing other vehicles or travel the wrong way on a one-way street or highway interchange. Due to the speed of vehicles and the force of an impact, these accidents can result in severe injuries or wrongful death.
• Rear-end accidents - Rear-end accidents are some of the most common types of car accidents. These accidents are often caused by negligent drivers who follow other vehicles too closely or who fail to pay attention to the road.
• Drunk driving accidents - When drivers get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol, they put everyone on the road at risk. Alcohol intoxication can affect a driver in many ways, including causing them to lose control of their vehicle, making it difficult to brake in time, or causing them to make poor decisions.
• Distracted driving accidents - Drivers may become distracted by anything from talking on the phone to eating food to changing the radio station. Drivers who do not fully pay attention to the road may fail to see other vehicles or pedestrians, and they may not be able to react in time to avoid a collision.
• Speeding and traffic violations - Speeding is one of the leading causes of car accidents, since it reduces a driver's ability to control their vehicle, and it increases the distance needed to stop. Other traffic violations, such as tailgating, illegal passing, or disobeying stop signs or traffic signals, may also lead to dangerous collisions.
• Uber and Lyft accidents - As more and more people use rideshare apps, accidents involving drivers for these services are becoming increasingly common. These cases can be complex, and determining what types of insurance coverage may apply or who was responsible for a collision is not always easy. Our attorneys can help ensure that passengers, people in other vehicles, pedestrians, or others involved in a collision will be fully compensated for their damages.
• Pedestrian accidents - These accidents often occur when drivers fail to yield the right of way to pedestrians, or when they are distracted and do not see people crossing the street. These collisions can cause severe injuries, particularly if a pedestrian is hit by a large vehicle like a truck or SUV.
• Bicycle accidents - Bicycle accidents often occur when drivers fail to yield to cyclists, make unsafe lane changes, or open their doors into bicycle lanes.
• Uninsured/underinsured drivers - In Colorado, all drivers are required to carry insurance. However, some drivers either do not have insurance or do not have enough insurance to cover the full extent of damages they cause. If you are hit by an uninsured driver, our attorneys can help you recover compensation through your own insurance policy's uninsured motorist coverage.
