Traffic in Longmont
The city touts several traffic engineering triumphs, like its roundabouts and flashing yellow arrows. Roundabouts, used properly, are much safer than regular intersections and cost a lot less – since they don’t use electricity for signals. Used wrongly, they can lead to bad accidents. They’re designed to slow cars down, so a vehicle that speeds around a turn risk rolling over. Motorists who don’t know the roundabout rules can also get into scrapes, whether sideswipes or rear-end collisions.
Meanwhile, there are several intersections that see over 30,000 vehicles pass through in a single 24-hour period, such as:
- S. Main Street and Ken Pratt Boulevard
- Main Street and Mountain View
- Main Street and 21st Avenue
- Hover Street and 17th Avenue
- Hover Street and Nelson Road
And they do tend to see more wrecks. The triangle of Nelson Road, Hoover Street, and SH 119 was the focus of a Southwest Operations traffic study, as city officials looked at ways to reduce the number of cars hitting bicyclists and pedestrians.
School zones are yet another hotspot for vehicle crashes, even in the parking lots. Congested streets, blocked visibility, small children entering and exiting the area, and parents in a hurry can create a dangerous combination. Our law firm has handled several cases where the victims were young, and we are parents ourselves.
Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Accidents
What Should I Do Immediately After a Car Accident?
If you're involved in a car accident in Longmont, your first step should always be ensuring you and your passengers are safe. Call emergency services immediately if there are any injuries. It's also crucial to gather as much evidence as possible from the accident scene, including photos of the damage, contact information of witnesses, and insurance information of the other party involved. Such documentation can be invaluable when filing an insurance claim or seeking legal recourse. Then, consider contacting a local auto accident attorney to discuss your potential case and protect your rights from the outset.
How Can I Reduce My Chances of Getting Into a Car Accident in Longmont?
Being a mindful driver can significantly reduce your chances of being involved in an accident. Avoid distractions like phone usage, adhere to speed limits, and be aware of the unique challenges posed by Longmont's roads, like roundabouts and high-traffic intersections. Familiarize yourself with the city's traffic patterns and avoid driving during peak hours. Regular vehicle maintenance checks, including tire and brake inspection, can also prevent accidents related to mechanical failures.
What Types of Compensation Are Available Following a Car Accident?
Compensation after a car accident typically covers medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. The exact compensation depends on the specific circumstances of the accident and the damages incurred. An experienced auto accident lawyer in Longmont can assess your situation and help you understand what compensation you may be entitled to. They will fight to explore and pursue all potential compensation avenues.
Will My Insurance Premiums Increase After an Accident?
Insurance premiums often increase after an accident, especially if you are at fault. However, the extent of the increase can depend on your insurance company's policies and driving history. It's crucial to discuss any concerns about potential premium hikes with your insurer and explore all available options. Understanding your coverage and any accident forgiveness clauses in your policy can also provide peace of mind.
How Does Colorado's Comparative Fault Rule Affect My Claim?
Colorado follows a modified comparative fault rule, which can impact your ability to recover damages after a car accident. This rule means that if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault. You may be barred from recovering damages if you are more than 50% responsible. This makes it essential to work with a knowledgeable attorney who can build a strong case to minimize your percentage of fault and maximize your potential recovery.

Why Can’t You Just Go Through Your Insurance?
You can! Trouble is, insurance companies have an inherent conflict of interest built into their business model: the less they pay you, the more profits they can report to their shareholders. In our experience, insurers are not quick or entirely honest when it comes to paying out compensation for a serious crash – which is why it’s good to have a car accident lawyer to go to war for you.
