Greeley Car Accident Attorney

Greeley Car Accident Lawyer Serving Colorado

If you have been injured in a car accident, you may be wondering what your next steps should be. The first step is to seek medical attention, even if you do not think you are injured. If possible, you should also obtain evidence from the scene of the accident. This may include photos of the scene of the collision, the damage to the vehicles, and any conditions on the road that may have played a role in the accident. You can also ensure that a police officer is called to the scene to make an official report about the causes of the accident, and by taking the contact information of any witnesses, you can ensure that they will be able to provide statements about what they observed. Once you have been seen by a doctor, you should contact an experienced car accident attorney to determine your legal options.

Addressing Driver Negligence in Greeley Motor Vehicle Accidents

Most car accidents are caused by driver negligence. All drivers are required to share the road safely with others, follow all applicable traffic laws, and drive in a way that does not put others at risk of harm. Unfortunately, many drivers choose to ignore these responsibilities, and car accidents are often the result.

There are many different forms of driver negligence that can result in motor vehicle collisions, including:

• Traffic violations - Speeding, running red lights, and other violations of traffic laws can increase the chances of a collision. A driver who violates the law may be unable to slow down in time to avoid a rear-end collision, they may collide with other vehicles that are proceeding through an intersection legally, or they may force other vehicles off the road by refusing to yield the right of way when required.
• Distracted driving - Drivers who are distracted by their cell phones, GPS devices, or anything else in the car and are not paying attention to the road are more likely to cause an accident. Inattention may cause a driver to fail to notice that another vehicle has slowed down in front of them, causing them to strike that vehicle from the rear. Looking away from the road to read or send a text message may lead a driver to wander out of their lane, potentially resulting in head-on collisions or other dangerous accidents.
• Drunk or impaired driving - Driving while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs impairs a driver's coordination, judgment, and reaction time. As a result, drunk drivers are much more likely to cause car accidents than those who are sober.

When driver negligence is to blame for an accident, the victims may be able to recover compensation through an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. Our attorneys can help victims understand their options in multiple types of car accident cases. We can assist with Uber or Lyft accidents and address issues related to insurance policies or liability by rideshare companies. We can also help victims determine how to proceed following accidents with uninsured or underinsured drivers and ensure that they receive the proper coverage through their own insurance policies.
