Where Crashes Happen in Aurora
Daily traffic in Aurora runs along I-225, I-70, E-470, and Havana Street. The most pressing local hazards include the busy I-225 corridor and heavy commercial traffic along Havana Street. These conditions shape the kinds of collisions — and injuries — that happen here.
Colorado Law That Applies to Your Crash
Your claim is governed by Colorado law. Motor-vehicle injury claims generally must be filed within three years for claims arising from motor-vehicle accidents. Colorado's modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar — you can recover only if you are less than 50% at fault, and your award is reduced by your share of fault also applies, so insurers will try to shift blame onto you to reduce or eliminate what they pay.
First Steps After a Aurora Crash
Call 911, document the scene and your injuries, seek prompt medical care, and avoid giving recorded statements to the other driver's insurer. These steps preserve both your health and the evidence your claim depends on.
