Wildfire smoke can turn a familiar Colorado road into a dangerous one in a matter of minutes.

Reduced visibility, falling debris, frightened wildlife and emergency vehicles all increase the risk of a crash. But difficult conditions do not excuse careless driving. Drivers still have a responsibility to slow down, leave more space and adjust to what is happening around them.

Our latest article covers how to drive safely through wildfire smoke, who may be responsible when a crash occurs and what evidence can help protect your rights.

Colorado’s express lane law is not just about a $75 fine.

When drivers cut across solid white lines to jump in or out of express lanes, they create dangerous, unpredictable moments at highway speeds. That is exactly why Colorado began enforcing this rule in 2025.

And if that illegal weaving causes a crash, the violation may become much more than a ticket. It may become direct evidence of fault in an injury case.

After a drunk driving crash, responsibility may not stop with the driver.

Colorado’s dram shop law is narrow, but in certain cases, a bar, restaurant or other licensed alcohol vendor can be held accountable for knowingly serving someone who was visibly intoxicated before that person caused serious harm.

The deadline matters, too. Dram shop claims in Colorado generally must be brought within one year, which is much shorter than many people expect.

If you or someone you love was hurt by a drunk driver, it’s worth understanding every possible source of accountability.

You can do everything right on the road and still be left exposed after a crash.

Colorado has the highest underinsured motorist rate in the country at 49.7%. The Insurance Information Institute also lists Colorado as the ninth-highest state for uninsured motorists, with 19.7% of drivers uninsured in 2023.

That means the driver who hits you may not have enough insurance, or any insurance at all, to cover the damage they cause.

This is why uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, often called UM/UIM coverage, matters so much. It is protection you put in place before a crash happens, so you are not forced to depend on someone else’s insurance after your life has already been disrupted.

At The O’Sullivan Law Firm, we do not sell insurance. But we do see what happens when injured people learn too late that the at-fault driver was not properly covered.

Colorado’s hands-free law has been in affect since the start of the year. Scott O’Sullivan spent years working with families, safety advocates and lawmakers to help write and pass the bill because he had seen, again and again, the damage distracted driving causes.

Now that the law is in effect, one question still matters after a crash: can we prove the other driver was distracted?

That proof can come from phone records, witness statements, crash reports, vehicle data, camera footage and the driver’s own behavior before impact. And it matters because insurance companies may still try to minimize what happened, even when distraction seems obvious.

At The O’Sullivan Law Firm, we know how to investigate distracted driving crashes and build the evidence needed to protect injured people.

If you were hit by a distracted driver in Colorado, call or text The O’Sullivan Law Firm at 303-388-5304 for free legal advice. Talk directly with a lawyer today to protect your future.

Colorado pedestrian deaths are rising, and insurance companies are still trying to blame the people who were hit.

It's not acceptable.

After a pedestrian crash, it's all about the evidence. Speed, visibility, driver distraction, road conditions and witness accounts can all change the case. The insurance company may try to control the story early, but that does not make their version true.

Injured pedestrians have rights. Families deserve answers. And full compensation starts with a lawyer who knows how to push back.

After a bike or e-bike crash, the question is not always as simple as “Who hit who?” Compensation may come from a driver’s auto insurance, your own UM/UIM coverage, another rider’s homeowner’s or renter’s policy, a government entity responsible for a dangerous road, or even a product manufacturer if a battery or component failed.

That is why what you do immediately after a crash matters. Get medical care, call the police, document the scene, and do not give a recorded statement before you understand your rights.

If you were injured on an e-bike in Colorado, call or text The O’Sullivan Law Firm at 303-388-5304 for free legal advice. You’ll speak directly with a lawyer.

E-bikes are everywhere in Colorado, and they can be a great way to get around. But when crashes happen, the injuries are often more serious than people expect.

Their weight, speed, and handling make e-bike accidents very different from ordinary bicycle crashes, especially when a car is involved.
