What Qualifies as Distracted Driving in Colorado?

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of fatalities in Colorado. Every year, tens of thousands of Coloradans are involved in car crashes and thousands are injured. As of January 1, 2025, Colorado strictly prohibits drivers from using handheld devices while operating a vehicle. 

 

This includes texting, phone calls, scrolling social media, checking emails, or any other activity that does not use hands-free technology. Distracted driving is any driving that pulls your attention from the road and can take many forms, including:

  • Eating or drinking
  • Looking at passengers or pets
  • Adjusting in-car controls like the radio or GPS
  • Smoking or vaping
  • Reaching for items inside the vehicle
  • Applying makeup or fixing hair

Injuries We’ve Seen From Reckless Driving Accidents

A short glance away from the road can result in catastrophic injuries. The distracted driving lawyers at Schofield & Green Law have seen firsthand how these accidents can lead to life-altering injuries and long-term recovery.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

TBIs are caused by a sudden jolt or impact and can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage, leading to cognitive and physical disabilities.

Spinal Cord Injuries

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 result in broken bones and torn ligaments, requiring surgery, physical therapy, and long recovery periods to regain full function.

Psychological Trauma

Emotional injuries, like post-traumatic stress disorder, can arise after a traumatic accident, affecting the victim’s mental health, relationships, and quality of life.

How We Establish Liability in Distracted Driving Accidents for Your Personal Injury Claim

Proving liability in distracted driving accidents can be challenging, especially when insurance companies often offer low settlements or shift blame. At Schofield & Green Law, we fight to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve. We gather key evidence and work with experts to build a strong case. 

 

Consulting a distracted driving accident lawyer can significantly help in filing claims, understanding your legal rights, and navigating the complexities of personal injury lawsuits following a distracted driving incident. Here’s how we establish liability in careless driving cases:

  • Accident Reports: Review of official documentation, like police reports, to understand the facts of the case.
  • Witness Statements: Gathering witness testimonies to strengthen the case and support your account.
  • Video Footage: Analyzing video footage from traffic cameras or nearby businesses to establish fault.
  • Expert Testimony: Collaborating with accident reconstruction experts to prove how distractions caused the accident.
  • Cell Phone Records: Examining phone records to confirm if texting or calling occurred during the crash.
  • In-Vehicle Data: Collecting data from vehicle systems to show actions like braking or swerving.

Let Us Answer Your Questions About Distracted Driving Accidents

If you or someone you love has been involved in a careless driving accident, we’re here to help. We understand how overwhelming it can be, and we’re committed to providing clear answers and guidance every step of the way.

Every person who reaches out to Schofield & Green Law starts with a free case evaluation. During this consultation, we’ll go over the facts of your case, assess the evidence, and determine whether you have a viable claim. If we believe you have a strong case, we’ll move forward with the necessary steps to fight for your compensation.

 

Because we solely work on a contingency fee basis (which means you don’t pay unless we win), you can trust that we’ll only take on cases we believe have a high chance of success. We are fully invested in your case and will work diligently to ensure you get the best possible outcome. If we don’t think you have a strong case, we’ll be upfront and guide you through your options moving forward.

We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs or hourly fees. If we successfully recover compensation for you, our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict. This ensures we are fully invested in the success of your case and gives you the peace of mind you have a dedicated team of attorneys working for justice.

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. 

 

Factors like gathering evidence, negotiating with insurance companies, and any required medical treatments all contribute to the timeline. We will keep you informed at every stage of the process.

At Schofield & Green Law, we have a proven history of securing substantial settlements for clients involved in distracted driving accidents. From minor collisions to catastrophic injuries, we’ve successfully represented victims and helped them recover millions in compensation they deserve. Our commitment is to fight for the best possible outcome in every case we handle.
While most distracted driving cases are resolved through settlements, some may require litigation. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, and we don’t shy away from the courtroom. However, our primary goal is to secure a fair settlement as efficiently as possible, avoiding the delays and uncertainties of a lengthy trial.
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. In fact, it’s often best to let us handle all communication with the insurance company to prevent them from taking advantage of you. We’ll make sure your interests are protected, and you won’t be pressured into accepting a low settlement offer.

The next step is to schedule a free consultation. During this meeting, we’ll evaluate the details of your case, explore your legal options, and answer any questions. If you decide to move forward, we’ll begin gathering evidence, talking to witnesses, and working on your behalf to pursue justice and fair compensation.
