Crash-Type Guidance

Colorado Collision-Type Accident Guides

Each guide focuses on one collision pattern, including evidence priorities, common insurer tactics, and practical next steps that protect your claim timeline.

Rear-End Accidents

Rear-end collisions are among the most common crash types in Colorado. Even when fault appears straightforward, insurers often challenge injury severity, treatment timing, and vehicle damage context.

  • Preserve scene photos, bumper alignment, and repair estimates early.
  • Track delayed neck and back symptoms for at least 72 hours.

T-Bone Accidents

T-bone crashes often happen at intersections and usually involve competing right-of-way narratives. Traffic signal timing, witness statements, and camera coverage matter.

  • Preserve traffic light phase, lane markings, and approach angle evidence.
  • Document side-impact injuries early, especially torso and head symptoms.

Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions often involve high-force impacts, major injuries, and aggressive insurer investigation. Preserve all timeline evidence from day one.

  • Prioritize hospital records, imaging, and specialist referrals.
  • Document loss-of-function and caregiver impacts consistently.
Read Head-On Collisions Guide

Sideswipe Accidents

Sideswipe crashes frequently involve lane-position disputes. Camera footage, lane markings, and mirror-check behavior become key evidence.

  • Preserve dashcam or nearby camera footage immediately.
  • Photograph lane markings, merge zones, and vehicle contact points.
Read Sideswipe Accidents Guide

Single-Vehicle Crashes

Single-vehicle crashes may involve weather, roadway hazards, mechanical issues, or evasive maneuvers. Coverage and liability analysis can still be complex.

  • Document roadway hazards, debris, signage, and lighting immediately.
  • Verify collision, comprehensive, and MedPay coverage details early.
Read Single-Vehicle Crashes Guide

Rollover Accidents

Rollover crashes can produce multi-system injuries and complicated liability questions involving speed, road geometry, and vehicle stability factors.

  • Preserve vehicle condition evidence before major repairs.
  • Document all medical follow-up, especially neurological symptoms.
Read Rollover Accidents Guide

Hit-and-Run Accidents

Hit-and-run crashes require fast evidence collection and immediate coverage strategy, often through your own UM/UIM policy path.

  • Report quickly and retain the incident ID and police report details.
  • Preserve witness contacts, camera leads, and vehicle transfer evidence.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian crashes can involve serious injuries and disputed right-of-way narratives. Crosswalk location, signal phase, and visibility factors are central.

  • Capture crosswalk markings, signal controls, and visibility conditions.
  • Preserve footwear, device, and scene evidence if available.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle crashes often involve passing distance disputes, lane positioning, and visibility conflicts. Objective roadway evidence is essential.

  • Document bike damage before repairs and preserve helmet condition.
  • Capture lane width, shoulder markings, and pass-distance context.
Read Bicycle Accidents Guide

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle claims often face bias-based fault narratives. Strong evidence and clean medical timelines are critical to counter low-visibility assumptions.

  • Preserve gear, helmet, and bike evidence immediately.
  • Document lane position, visibility, and signal sequence in detail.
Read Motorcycle Accidents Guide

Truck Accidents

Truck crashes involve multiple parties, layered insurance structures, and fast evidence movement by carriers and insurers.

  • Preserve carrier identity and trailer/unit details early.
  • Request evidence preservation before logs and telematics cycles roll.

Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare crashes can involve multiple coverage layers that change based on app status, trip phase, and driver activity at impact.

  • Document app status and trip timeline at the moment of impact.
  • Identify all available policies before settlement discussions.
Read Rideshare Accidents Guide

Highway Accidents

Highway crashes often involve high speeds, chain-reaction dynamics, and overlapping fault narratives. Sequence evidence is critical.

  • Capture vehicle sequence and lane positions before tows if possible.
  • Document weather, visibility, and traffic-flow conditions.
