Common Causes of Car Accidents in Colorado

Close to 4 million drivers get into traffic crashes every year in the U.S.1 The following is a look at some of the most common causes of these collisions.

Top 5 Causes of Auto Accidents in Colorado

The top 5 causes of car accidents in Colorado are distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, reckless behavior, and adverse weather conditions.

• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, eating, or even adjusting the radio can divert attention and lead to serious collisions.
• Speeding: Driving above posted limits or too fast for conditions dramatically increases crash severity. According to the Colorado State Patrol, speeding is the second most common cause of fatal and injury accidents statewide.
• Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug impairment remains a leading cause of roadway fatalities in Colorado, impairing judgment and response time.
• Reckless Driving: Tailgating, running red lights, and weaving through traffic elevate collision risk.
• Adverse Weather: Snow, ice, and fog reduce visibility and traction, creating hazardous driving environments across Denver.

If you’ve been injured in a crash caused by these factors, Dormer Harpring is here to help you pursue full and fair compensation.

“I would recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney for a personal injury case!!“

I was under the gun with my statute of limitations less than a month away, and K.C. at Dormer Harpring took on my case anyway. They gave me super professional and super personal service and got me a settlement that was FAR more than the insurance company offered me on my own. I would recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney for a personal injury case!!
