What Counts as Distracted Driving in Colorado?

In January 2025, Colorado became the newest state to ban drivers from using handheld devices while driving. The change in law comes from distracted driving being one of the leading causes of fatalities in our state.

Distracted driving goes beyond texting while driving and talking on your phone without hands-free technology. When you drive a car or truck and your focus is not on the road, you are distracted. This can affect your ability to drive safely, including:

Careless Driving Incidents Can Result in Real Injuries

A short glance away from the road can cause catastrophic injuries. You can’t always rely on an insurance company to give you a fair financial deal. They often give you an offer that’s low in hopes you take the money and move on.

The distracted driving lawyers at Schofield & Green Law know how these accidents can cause serious pain. We can help you fight the at-fault driver for damage liability and compensation. Our attorneys understand that there’s a long journey for proper reimbursement and recovery for:

TBIs happen because of a sudden jolt or impact. They can be mild, like concussions, or severe, causing brain damage. This can lead to problems with thinking and physical abilities.
A sudden impact can damage the spinal cord, resulting in partial or full paralysis. This often requires extensive medical care and rehabilitation.

Fractures and Broken Bones

High-impact collisions often lead to broken bones and torn ligaments. These injuries may need surgery and physical therapy. Regaining full function often takes time.

Psychological Trauma

Emotional injuries, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, can happen after a distracted driving accident. They can affect the victim’s mental health, relationships, and quality of life.

The length of a distracted driving case can vary depending on the complexity and severity of the accident. On average, it can take several months to a year to reach a resolution.

The amount of compensation varies depending on the specifics of your case, such as the severity of your injuries, the extent of damages, and the impact on your life. Our goal is to recover the maximum compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other losses you’ve experienced due to the accident.
Absolutely not. You are not required to speak to the insurance company of the at-fault driver.

We’ll make sure your interests are protected, and you won’t be pressured into accepting a low settlement offer.
