Car Accident - CARRIAGE WAY & 300

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.

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.
