Broadly speaking, accidents are prevalent in Denver, Colorado. Additionally, countless people are injured by accidents throughout the United States. Some of the most common accidents are with motorcycles or cars. The leading cause of these accidents is driver error whether following too closely, distracted driving, speeding, driving while impaired or failing to yield to other cars on the road. Whatever the cause, an experienced car accident attorney such as Phil Harding from Harding & Associates P.C. can represent car accident victims effectively and professionally.
Rollover AccidentsIn general, rollover accidents are much more dangerous than other types of accidents with automobiles. The cause reflects on the vehicle type, road conditions and driver behavior. They are more likely to occur on roads with higher speed limit (over 55 mph).
Single Vehicle CrashesDrivers who are distracted or intoxicated may drift off the road or into another lane. They may also swerve suddenly to try to avoid debris or to overcorrect their vehicle.
Side SwipesThis type of accident happens when cars are traveling in the same direction. Usually this type of accident occurs, when someone is trying to move into the lane that is occupied by the other vehicle. These accidents can also happen if someone is trying to avoid a hazard while forgetting that there’s a vehicle on the side that they maneuver into to avoid the debris.
Rear End WrecksThis type of accident occurs when a driver isn’t paying attention and/or is following too closely to another vehicle. Distractions can also lead to someone looking away and forgetting to maintain their assured clear distance between other cars with them on the road. A distracted driver fails to notice a car slowing down or entering the lane, and a rear end accident will be the result.
Side Impact CrashesThis type of accident occurs when one vehicle crashes into the side of another car. The vehicles involved in this wreck usually are driving perpendicular to each other or can end up in this position as a result of the crash. This oftentimes happens at intersections. Better known as T-bone accidents, they can lead to serious injuries as the sides of car offer much less protection to those in the vehicle.
