Colorado Car Accident Lawyer

A car accident can change everything in the time it takes a light to turn red. Colorado saw nearly 700 traffic deaths in 2024 alone, and far more crashes that left people with injuries, medical bills, and a fight with an insurance company that is not on their side.

At Mile High Legal, our car accident attorneys represent people hurt in car accidents across Colorado — from fender-benders that turned into serious injuries to high-speed highway collisions. As your car accident law firm, we handle the insurance claim process, deal directly with adjusters, and build the case to trial if an insurer will not offer a fair number. You focus on recovering; we focus on your claim.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Colorado

Our car accident lawyers see the same patterns behind serious crashes again and again. Common causes include:

• Distracted driving — texting, phone use, and other distractions remain one of the leading causes of crashes on Colorado roads.
• Speeding — higher speeds mean less reaction time and more severe injuries when a collision happens.
• Impaired driving — alcohol or drug impairment that affects judgment and reaction time.
• Failure to yield or follow traffic signals — running red lights and stop signs, or failing to yield at intersections.
• Following too closely — a leading cause of rear-end collisions, especially in heavy Denver-metro traffic.
• Adverse weather — snow and ice are a year-round reality on Colorado roads and a frequent factor in multi-vehicle crashes.

What Compensation Can Cover

A car accident claim can account for more than just the initial medical bill. Depending on the facts of your case, compensation can include:

• Medical expenses, including future treatment and rehabilitation
• Lost wages and diminished future earning capacity
• Vehicle repair or replacement and other property damage
• Pain and suffering
• In the most serious cases, costs associated with permanent disability or disfigurement

What To Do After a Car Accident in Colorado

• Call 911 if anyone is hurt or the damage looks significant — Colorado law requires reporting crashes involving injury, death, or substantial property damage [ATTORNEY TO VERIFY — current reporting threshold].
• Get checked out by a medical professional even if you feel fine; some injuries do not show symptoms right away.
• Photograph the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries before anything is moved or repaired.
• Exchange information with the other driver and get contact details from any witnesses.
• Avoid giving a recorded statement to any insurance company, including your own, before speaking with an attorney.
