Helping Victims of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Pueblo

While car accidents occur for a variety of reasons, they are most commonly caused by driver negligence. There are multiple ways that drivers may act negligently and put others in danger, including speeding or driving too fast for conditions, failing to yield the right of way, running red lights or stop signs, making unsafe lane changes, driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and distracted driving, including texting while driving.

Our attorneys can help victims determine their options in multiple types of motor vehicle collisions, including:

• Rear-end accidents - These collisions are often caused by tailgating, speeding, or distracted driving, and a driver who strikes another vehicle from behind will usually be found to be at fault for an accident.
• Head-on collisions - These are some of the most dangerous types of accidents, as they often occur at high speeds and result in serious injuries. They may occur because of illegal passing, or a driver may wander out of their lane and into oncoming traffic because they are distracted or intoxicated.
• Motorcycle accidents - Motorcycles provide very little protection for riders in the event of a collision, and motorcycle crashes often result in serious injuries or death. These accidents may occur because drivers fail to see motorcycles or do not yield the right of way when they should.
• Pedestrian accidents - Drivers have a responsibility to look out for pedestrians, and people on foot may be seriously injured because drivers are speeding, distracted, or intoxicated. These accidents can result in serious injuries, especially if the pedestrian is hit by a large vehicle like a truck.
• Bicycle accidents - Like pedestrian accidents, bike accidents often occur because drivers fail to see cyclists or yield the right of way. Bicyclists may be injured because drivers refuse to share the road with them or because of "dooring" in which a person in a parked vehicle opens their door into a bicycle's path.
• Rideshare accidents - Services like Uber and Lyft have become increasingly popular in recent years. Accidents involving drivers for these apps may occur because drivers are not properly vetted or trained, and victims may struggle to receive the proper insurance coverage.
• Uninsured or underinsured driver accidents - In Colorado, all drivers are required to have insurance, but some drivers choose to violate this law or only purchase the minimum amount of coverage. If you are hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may still be able to recover compensation through the uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage in your own insurance policy.
