Car Accident - E 17TH AVE & N PEORIA ST

Hit-and-Run Reported

Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offense under C.R.S. Section 42-4-1601. Victims may still recover damages through their own uninsured motorist coverage.

Rear-End Collision Pattern

In Colorado, the trailing driver in a rear-end collision is often presumed to be at fault for following too closely, though this presumption can be rebutted with evidence.

Work Zone Crash

Fines and penalties are typically doubled for violations in active work zones under Colorado law. Work zone liability may extend to contractors or government entities.
