Common Causes of Car Accidents in Boulder

Boulder is one of the most pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly cities in Colorado. Unfortunately, distracted and reckless drivers often cause serious crashes in high-traffic areas such as Pearl Street Mall, University Hill, and downtown Boulder.Dangerous Highway Accidents on US-36 & Foothills Parkway
With heavy commuter traffic and high speeds, US-36 and Foothills Parkway are common locations for multi-vehicle pileups, rollovers, and severe rear-end collisions.Drunk Driving & Impaired Driver Crashes
Boulder has a thriving nightlife and college scene, which increases the risk of DUI-related accidents. If you were hit by a drunk driver, we will fight to hold them fully accountable.Weather-Related & Mountain Road Accidents
Boulder’s proximity to mountain roads and changing weather conditions means drivers often encounter icy roads, fog, and steep inclines, leading to loss-of-control accidents and vehicle rollovers.What to Do After a Car Accident in Boulder

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents in Boulder
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Colorado?
Colorado law allows three years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, waiting too long can make it harder to gather evidence.Can I still get compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Under Colorado’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.What if the driver who hit me was uninsured?
If the at-fault driver has no insurance, you may be able to file a claim under your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Our attorneys can guide you through this process.What if the insurance company is offering me a quick settlement?
Initial insurance settlements are often much lower than what you actually deserve. Once you accept, you can’t ask for more later. We’ll review your offer and negotiate for full compensation.Do I need a lawyer if my accident was minor?
Even minor accidents can lead to hidden injuries and unexpected medical costs. Consulting with an attorney ensures that you are not taken advantage of by insurance companies.Get a Free Consultation Today
