Denver’s Shocking Car Accident Statistics 

According to data compiled by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Denver averaged around 32 car accidents per day in a recent year, about one-quarter of which (8 per day) involved reports of injuries or fatalities. At least 67 people died, and 563 suffered injuries deemed severe.

And that's just accidents within the Denver city limits. That year, the tally reached over 46,000 crashes in Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Denver, and Jefferson Counties combined, more than 12,000 of which resulted in deaths (227) or injuries (1,691 serious). 

Crash maps compiled by Denver's Vision Zero traffic safety project and a companion initiative by the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) reflect that fatal and injury crashes happen all over the metro area.

They're common in commercial districts like Downtown, Lodo, and Capitol Hill, along busy roads like Federal Boulevard, and in neighborhoods like Montbello. They're also a frequent occurrence on major highways. Without exaggeration, no matter where you turn in Denver, you're never far from the site of a recent car accident.  

T-bone (or front-to-side) and rear-end accidents are the types most likely to cause injuries or fatalities in Denver, according to CDOT. Together, those crashes accounted for more than half (59 percent) of the fatal or injury crashes in the region in a recent year. Though far less common, head-on collisions, sideswipes, and rollovers (7, 4, and 2 percent of crashes, respectively) also tended to inflict severe harm to drivers and passengers in the Denver area. 

Those are troubling data. But even so, they only tell part of the story. No statistics can adequately capture the toll a car accident takes on a person's life or the lives of their loved ones. The damage inflicted by a crash can alter every aspect of a victim's existence, burdening them with difficulties they should not have to bear alone. 

Do You Have a Right to Compensation for a Denver Car Accident?

The harm done by a Denver car accident rarely falls only on the person whose actions triggered the crash. Often, innocent victims sustain losses because of an accident they had no hand in causing. Colorado law entitles those victims to seek compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial harm they've suffered. At Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, getting them that compensation is our top priority.

Parties Liable for a Denver Car Accident

In Colorado, anyone who causes a car accident by engaging in careless or reckless actions (or inaction) can have liability to a victim who suffered injuries. Others can share that liability if they have a legal duty to answer for an at-fault party's conduct. Sometimes just one party will bear the blame for a crash in Denver. But in many cases, multiple parties are at fault and share liability for a victim's losses.  

The attorneys at Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, scrutinize the facts of every car accident case we handle to identify the party (or parties) who owe damages to our clients. Every crash differs, so we approach each case with an open mind, ready for our investigation to reveal liability on the part of any number of individuals, businesses, or entities.

For example: 

  • A motorist whose careless actions behind the wheel, like speeding or getting distracted, led to a crash
  • The employer of a negligent motorist who crashed a work vehicle or while performing job duties
  • A bar or restaurant that served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated or underage drunk driver
  • The manufacturer of defective automotive parts that played a role in causing a car accident 
  • A government entity or private road owner is at fault for failing to maintain reasonably safe roads
  • An insurer that issued liability insurance coverage to any at-fault party 

These are just some examples. There's no telling who will be liable for the damages a Denver car accident victim suffered until a lawyer reviews the evidence.

Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, works tirelessly to identify as many liable parties as possible to ensure our clients have every opportunity to secure the maximum compensation available. When justified by the evidence, we may seek payment from multiple parties on behalf of our clients. 

Compensation for a Denver Car Accident

Victims of Denver car accidents have the legal right to receive compensation for every harm they suffer in a crash. The Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, team ensures that any legal action we take on our client's behalf seeks the maximum payment available.

Every case differs, but often we can secure monetary damages for our client that include: 

  • Medical expenses for treating car accident injuries
  • Costs to repair or replace a damaged vehicle
  • Expenditures for goods and services our client needs while healing from or living with their injury
  • Lost pay and benefits from missing work while healing
  • The loss of future earnings or opportunities due to a disability
  • Physical pain from injuries and medical treatments
  • Emotional distress from the car accident or injuries it caused
  • Inconvenience and loss of independence
  • Diminished quality and enjoyment of life

Sometimes, we can also secure a court award of exemplary damages when fraud, malice, or willful and wanton conduct triggered the crash. In some circumstances, our clients may also receive statutory damages. 

The amount our clients can receive for their car accident losses varies from case to case, depending on the evidence, the severity of their injuries, and the liable parties' financial resources.

Our team has secured awards totaling hundreds of thousands, and even millions, of dollars in car accident cases. Of course, there's no guarantee we can get that much money in every case.

But clients of Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, always have our commitment to pursue as much money as possible to help them pay their expenses and plan for the future. 

Denver Car Accident Wrongful Death Cases

As the above statistics reflect, hundreds die in Denver region car accidents annually. Fatal crashes inflict devastating losses on the deceased victims' surviving loved ones.

Under Colorado law, they can seek damages for their loss through a wrongful death lawsuit, which may result in compensation for:

  • Loss of the victim's income, services, or financial support
  • Loss of the victim's companionship or consortium
  • Surviving loved ones' grief
  • The victim's pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Funeral and burial expenses

At Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, we recognize that monetary damages can never make up for losing a loved one. But in our experience, the money we recover for our clients in a wrongful death car accident case can provide crucial financial support to assist them in paying their bills and rebuilding after a tragedy. Contact our team to learn your rights if you recently lost a loved one in a Denver car accident.
