Colorado law makes the person at fault for a car, truck, motorcycle or another motor vehicle accident financially responsible for damages incurred by others. For an injured person, this can mean payment for medical bills, lost wages, property damage and also some “noneconomic” damages, depending on a range of circumstances.
Several legal challenges must be overcome to actually collect these damages after an auto wreck — even if you know or strongly believe another driver’s distracted, careless or inattentive driving caused the accident. Contact our Lakewood distracted driving attorneys. Our firm can help victims recover compensation for what was lost.

Cellphone enhancements such as internet access only increase a driver’s chances of causing an accident. Typing into a search field requires the user to pay attention to the device and the search, rather than the road and other drivers. Unlike the early days of cellphones, most plans today offer unlimited texting at reasonable prices. Teenagers are well-connected to their mobile devices, which is one reason why drivers under 18 have high penalties for using a cellphone while driving.
One of the largest problems with cellphone use while driving is texting. In 2009, it became illegal to text or email while driving in Colorado.
If Attorneys at Flesch Law can show that the other driver was using his or her phone, in the middle of a text or web search or otherwise using his or her device, it could strengthen your case significantly. Other phone-related causes could include:
