We handle personal injury claims because we understand that getting hurt in a crash can lead to incredible physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Once we determine how a collision occurred, our clients are often overwhelmed by the fact that the crash did not have to happen.

Our years of experience and dedication to creating legal solutions for our clients reinforce what the Colorado Department of Transportation reports: 85% of all traffic crashes in Denver are preventable.

Part of our commitment to our Colorado communities is providing tips and resources for our fellow motorists, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians to help keep them safe as they travel throughout the Denver metropolitan area.

To follow is a list of some of our city’s most dangerous roads and intersections.

Where are the Most Dangerous Intersections and Roadways in Denver, Colorado?

The Denver Metro area has consistently outpaced the national growth rate every decade since the 1930s, and currently has a population of more than three million people.

By 2030, the population is anticipated to increase to more than 3.6 million.

More people mean more traffic and, unfortunately, more collisions — especially at our city’s most dangerous intersections.

They include:

20th and Market

West Alameda Avenue and South Santa Fe Drive
Blake Street and 20th
Downing Street at East Colfax

How Can I Avoid Being Involved in an Accident at these Dangerous Intersections?

Knowing the rules of the road can help all motorists avoid accidents, which also means following the speed limit, and putting your phone or other electronics down while driving.

Unfortunately, even when drivers are doing all they can to drive defensively, negligent drivers are sharing our roadways and using the same intersections as the rest of us.

Paying attention to your surroundings, and safely sharing the road with other motorists can decrease your chances of being involved in a collision, so do your best each time you are behind the wheel.

If you have been hurt in a collision that was caused by a negligent driver, contact our personal injury attorneys in Denver, Colorado at Donaldson Law, LLC by calling 303-458-5000 or contact us online to schedule a free confidential consultation today to learn about your legal rights and options to pursue the necessary recovery for your injuries.

CLIENT REVIEWS

My husband was rear-ended and his head broke through the back window of the truck. We decided to give things time to see if he improved. The other insurance company dragged things on forever. That’s when we decided we needed an attorney. We did not fully understand the statute of limitations and called a few attorneys thinking we had enough time. We quickly found out that in the land of the law, we were cutting it very close. The other attorneys we called passed saying that they just didn’t have the time to handle our case; we didn’t even get a chance to speak with anyone but the receptionist. Then I called Jennifer Donaldson and spoke to Melanie who is part of Jennifer’s incredible team. – Jackie G.

I was hit by a car while I was in a crosswalk. Afterward, I underwent multiple surgeries and occupational therapy. I was out of work after losing the use of my hand for a period of time. I knew that I couldn’t deal with the insurance companies on my own. After some research, I found Jennifer and Melanie. They were amazing through the whole process and the result was a very generous settlement. They were also able to get my health insurance to waive their subrogation claim. They have both been great to work with. Throughout my claim, they communicated with me and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend using Jennifer Donaldson if you ever need an attorney for a personal injury case.– Zander O.

Jennifer and her team were fantastic. They guided me through the whole process after getting into a car accident. She fought for me, and gave me and my family the best support. I don’t think I could have made it through the whole process without Jennifer and her team. Their knowledge of the insurance industry was very helpful and was a key factor in the outcome of my case.– Tony D.

My wife was involved in a serious auto accident where she sustained serious injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. Ms. Donaldson was professional, compassionate and very thorough from beginning to end. Her focus was to make sure that we were made whole. Her thorough work resulted in a settlement that provides for our needs for the rest of our lives. Ms. Donaldson is a great attorney.– Tony D.

I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle, causing me serious and permanent injuries. Ms. Donaldson handled my case in a very professional manner with outstanding results. She worked hard to make sure we got a settlement without the need for litigation while still getting the maximum recovery available. She and her staff were very thorough and stayed in constant communication. Overall, Ms. Donaldson was outstanding during the entire case. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of representation for their personal injury claim.– Leigh C.
