Colorado Car Accident Lawyers & Information

The rich, majestic backdrop of Colorado makes the state a destination for tourists and adventurers from all over the world. This influx of citizens and visitors takes a toll, however, as thousands of people are injured and hundreds die in car accidents throughout the state each year.

Recreational vehicles such as ATVs combined with mountainous terrain and exponential population growth can be a recipe for danger. These kinds of accidents exact a heavy price nationally on victims and taxpayers alike. Last year there were over 38,000 fatal car accidents, and Americans spent over $719.2 million in auto collision-related expenses.

Colorado is also an important transportation center, as it is centrally placed and links several western states with the agricultural heartland of the Midwest. Many important highways run through the state, including U.S. Highways 6, 24, 34, 36, 40, 50, 85, 87, 285, and Interstate routes 25, 70, and 76. Not bad for a mountainous state of only 168,648 square miles.

Unfortunately, difficult terrain and inclement weather combined with significant urban population density makes Colorado a prime location for vehicle accidents of every type. Trucking accidents take a truly tragic toll on the roads of Colorado, as 69 people died due to accidents involving big rigs, semis, tractor trailers, and 18 Wheelers.

Larger schools include Colorado State University, University of Denver, University of Northern Colorado, and the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Denver.

One notable distinction about Colorado is that is the least populous state to have a team in each of the major sports leagues in the U.S. MLB's Colorado Rockies, the NBA's Denver Nuggets, the NHL s Colorado Avalanche, and the NFL's Denver Broncos entertain and delight fans throughout the state and across the nation.

The scenic beauty of Colorado's topography is showcased in several national parks including Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Mesa Verde National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, and world-class skiing and snowboarding can be found in the gorgeous resort towns of Winter Park, Vail, Durango, Aspen, Telluride, and Steamboat Springs.
