- DUI/DWIDriving under the influence is another major cause of car crashes. Impaired driving can also take many forms; drunk driving or drug-impaired driving is illegal in the US. Driving impaired puts you and everyone else on the road at risk, and also hinders your decision making abilities. Avoiding driving under the influence avoids making reckless decisions.

- Traffic ViolationsSecond, you can’t handle a truck accident case alone. Hire a Denver truck accident lawyer as quickly as possible. Timing is everything in these cases and the longer you wait, the higher the chances are of losing critical evidence. For example, modern big rigs have “black boxes” just like airplanes. If the driver was speeding or never attempted to slow down until after the collision, the black box will show this. Some truck manufacturers automatically overwrite the data after a certain number of engine restarts and without an attorney’s intervention, the trucking company will attempt to repair their equipment to keep business moving forward which will permanently erase this critical evidence.
- Hit and RunHit and Run: Maybe they didn't want to get caught, couldn't pay for their insurance rates to go up, or were scared. Hit-and-run accidents may only cause minor damage, and they might not hurt you physically or emotionally. But they can be very bad and cause injuries that take weeks or months to get better from. And they can lead to deaths as well.
- Workers CompensationNo. Workers compensation coverage only aims to provide coverage for some medical expenses and a portion of lost wages. Workers comp will not provide full payments and coverage for all future lost wages and potentially not all future medical needs. In addition, future care needs for serious injuries such as home care needs are not covered. Most importantly, workers compensation does not compensate for pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disability, mental anguish including post-traumatic stress and other “invisible” psychological injuries and traumatic brain injuries.
- Premises LiabilityPremises liability laws vary from state to state. In Colorado and Wyoming, for example, the victim needs to prove that they were on the property legally, that the owner had a duty to protect them, and that the injury was a result of the owner’s negligence. Keep in mind there are additional responsibilities for landlords in terms of maintaining sound structural and security measures.
- Property DamageIf your Gillette car accident was caused by another driver, they may be responsible for compensating you for your serious injuries and property damage.
