Boulder, CO Car Accident Lawyers

Attorneys for Collisions Caused by Drunk Driving, Distracted Driving, and Driver Negligence in Boulder County

There are a wide variety of scenic roads in the city of Boulder and the Boulder County area, but nothing can disrupt the natural beauty of Northern Colorado like a dangerous car accident. Collisions can result in multiple types of serious injuries that can require extensive medical treatment and cause a person to lose income while they are recovering. In the most serious cases, victims may suffer permanent disabilities, or a car accident may lead to a person's wrongful death. When collisions are caused by negligent drivers, victims can pursue financial compensation for their injuries and property damage.

Legal Help With Boulder County Car Accidents

Whether you were involved in a relatively minor fender bender, a multi-vehicle pileup, or anything in between, we can help you take the right steps to protect your right to compensation. We will investigate your accident and gather evidence to demonstrate liability by a negligent driver or other parties, and we will work to pursue compensation from all available sources. We can assist with multiple types of auto accidents, including those involving:

• Rear-end collisions - While crashes in which one vehicle strikes another from behind may seem minor, they can lead to multiple types of injuries for drivers and passengers, including whiplash, traumatic brain injuries, and broken bones, as well as significant vehicle damage.
• Rollovers - Vehicles may roll over when taking turns at high speeds, when their wheels leave the road, or when they strike obstacles or other vehicles. These types of accidents can lead to severe injuries for a vehicle's occupants. If a person is crushed by the roof or frame of a vehicle, they may suffer damage to their limbs that require amputation, or a person may suffer burn injuries after being trapped in a vehicle that catches on fire.
• Distracted drivers - It is important for drivers to pay attention to the road and the act of driving, but many drivers become distracted by cell phones, conversations with passengers, eating and drinking, reaching for objects, adjusting their radio, or daydreaming. A driver who takes their eyes off the road or their hands off the wheel may be unable to react in time to avoid a dangerous collision.
• Drunk driving - Intoxication by alcohol or drugs can affect a driver in a variety of ways, making it impossible for them to operate their vehicle safely. Drivers may experience increased reaction times, problems with balance and coordination, and impairments to their vision, causing them to collide with others and inflict serious injuries.
• Uninsured or underinsured drivers - A driver who is responsible for a car accident may not have auto insurance, or their policy may not fully cover the damages suffered by victims. In these cases, victims may be able to receive uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage through their own auto insurance policy. Our attorneys can negotiate with insurance companies to make sure victims receive the full coverage they deserve.
• Rideshare drivers - When a driver who works for a service such as Uber or Lyft is responsible for a car accident, victims can sometimes struggle to receive compensation for their damages. In many cases, these companies attempt to avoid liability by claiming that their drivers are independent contractors rather than employees. We can help victims of these types of accidents pursue compensation through insurance policies, or we can work to hold a rideshare company liable for injuries caused by negligence, such as failing to properly screen drivers who had a history of unsafe driving.
