Car Accident - S. BROADWAY & S. GRANT WAY

Alcohol Involvement Reported

When alcohol is a factor, Colorado law may treat the impaired driver as negligent per se under C.R.S. Section 42-4-1301. This can significantly affect liability determinations.

Drug Involvement Reported

Driving under the influence of drugs, including marijuana, is prohibited under C.R.S. Section 42-4-1301(1)(f). Impairment can establish fault in civil claims.

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.
