Types of car accidents in colorado
Understanding the nuances of the different types of car accidents that frequently occur on Colorado roadways and the injuries that commonly result is critical to effectively negotiating with the insurance companies and obtaining the maximum possible compensation for your claim.
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions are some of the most frequent car accidents occurring on Colorado’s highways and other roadways. In Colorado, the at-fault driver who rear-ends another vehicle is generally liable for any damages caused by the accident.
If you’re involved in a rear-end collision, here are some important steps to take immediately following the accident:
- Seek immediate medical evaluation and care for any injuries that you sustained in the accident.
- Gather evidence, such as accident reports, photographs of the accident scene and witness statements, to support your case.
- Contact Fisher & Associates to seek legal representation from an experienced car accident attorney who specializes in car accidents and who can help guide you through the process and ensure that you understand your rights.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions, where two or more vehicles collide head-on, can be caused by distracted driving, driving while texting, driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol, speeding, or failing to yield the right of way, and often result in catastrophic injuries or even fatalities.
If you or a loved one are involved in a head-on collision, here are the important steps you should take immediately following the accident:
- Seek immediate medical evaluation and care for any injuries sustained in the accident.
- Gather evidence, such as accident reports, photographs of the accident scene and witness statements, to support your case.
- Contact Fisher & Associates to seek legal representation from an experienced car accident attorney who specializes in car accidents and who can help guide you through the process and ensure that you understand your rights.
T-Bone Accidents
T-bone accidents, where one vehicle collides head-on with the side of another, can be caused by distracted driving, impaired driving, disregarding a red light or stop sign, or not yielding the right of way, and often result in considerable property damage and catastrophic injuries including head trauma, or even fatalities.
If you or a loved one are involved in a T-bone accident, it is essential that you seek immediate medical evaluation and treatment and contact an experienced car accident attorney to preserve your rights. At Fisher & Associates, our car accident attorneys have extensive experience in handling T-bone accident cases and are committed to helping you secure the medical care and compensation that you need to recover from your injuries and get your life back on track.
Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Denver
Motorcycle accidents in Denver can be attributed to various factors including speeding, reckless driving, distracted driving and driving under the influence. Some of the most common types of motorcycle accidents seen in Denver are left turn collisions, rear-end collisions and lane splitting accidents.
Understanding these types of accidents and their causes is critical to determining liability and successfully pursuing compensation for your injuries.
Left Turn Collisions
Left turn collisions occur when a vehicle turning left is hit by an oncoming vehicle. These accidents are often the result of underestimating the speed of oncoming traffic, incorrectly assessing the distance across the intersection, or failing to yield the right of way. Generally, the driver or rider making the turn will be held liable for the accident as they have the duty to yield.
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions involving motorcyclists are often the result of driver negligence, inattentive driving, tailgating, distracted driving, speeding, hazardous conditions on the road or vehicle defects such as faulty brakes or transmission issues. For a motorcyclist, being rear-ended by a car, even at a low rate of speed, can result in significant property damage and devastating injuries.
Lane Splitting Accidents
Lane splitting accidents occur when motorcyclists ride between two lanes of moving traffic. While lane splitting is illegal in many states, including Colorado, many motorcyclists still elect to split the lanes to escape traffic and congestion on the roadways. The most frequent causes of lane splitting accidents are unsafe lane changes, driving at excessive speeds, driving while intoxicated, inattentiveness and hazardous road conditions.
Each of these common types of traffic accidents can lead to serious injuries for motorcyclists who lack the protection offered by cars. While some may be avoided by keeping a safe distance from other vehicles on the road, observing speed limits and remaining vigilant, there is no way to fully protect yourself against other drivers’ carelessness or negligence.
Types of Truck Accidents
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions involving large trucks occur when the truckdriver fails to stop in time and collides with the back of the vehicle in front of the truck in the lane. These accidents are often caused by tailgating, distracted driving, speeding, or brake failure. Because of the size and weight of commercial trucks, even low speed rear-end collisions can result in catastrophic injuries and extensive property damage to the vehicle hit.
Jackknife Accidents
When a truck’s trailer swings out to form a 90-degree angle with the cab, resembling a folding knife, this is referred to as a jackknife accident. These accidents are commonly caused by sudden braking, slick roads, or unbalanced cargo in the truck’s trailer. When a jackknife accident occurs, it can block multiple lanes of traffic, involve multiple vehicles, and result in serious injuries or fatalities.
Rollover Accidents
A rollover accident occurs when a truck rolls onto its side or roof. These accidents are typically the result of speeding, sharp turns, overcorrecting, or unevenly distributed cargo. Rollover accidents pose a significant risk not only to the truckdriver but to nearby motorists who may be unable to avoid the overturned vehicle or spilled cargo.
Underride Accidents
When a smaller vehicle slides beneath the rear or side of a truck’s trailer, this is referred to as an underride accident. These accidents often occur during sudden stops or in low-visibility conditions. Because of the extreme force involved and the lack of impact absorption in these accidents, underride accidents are among the most fatal types of truck accidents.
Blind Spot Accidents
Blind spot accidents occur when a truck driver fails to see a vehicle in one of the truck’s blind spots and makes a lane change or turn colliding with that vehicle. The larger the truck, the bigger its blind spots, making large commercial vehicles the most likely to be involved in this type of accident.
