Colorado Bicycle Accident Lawyer
Colorado bicycle fatalities have been on the rise in recent years, with a record 22 fatalities in 2018 (Colorado Department of Transportation). Although the number of overall bicycle crashes has not risen dramatically, it seems the severity of the accidents has increased. A recent crash, in July, 2019, raised an uproar when a 34-year-old cyclist was killed in a hit-and-run in Boulder. The senseless loss of a young, active member of the community has led to many speaking out on the importance of bicyclists’ rights across Colorado.
As more and more people embrace the health and ecological benefits of cycling, cities across the country are working to improve infrastructure to support them. Some states have created action plans to address cycling safety, both through improved laws and heightened awareness. Others are working on adding cycling lanes and safe cycling areas to reduce the risk of crashes. But despite these measures, numerous states are watching as the number of fatalities rises.
