Most Common Type
Case Value Signals in Denver
Aggregates from crash records in this area that may indicate higher-value personal-injury cases. These counts are a lower bound and may include claims not yet realized (delayed-onset injuries are common). Not legal advice.
Commercial vehicle crashes
1,212
At-fault vehicle classified as commercial, bus, heavy truck, or similar defendant class.
Wrongful-death cases within SoL
2
Fatal crashes potentially still within Colorado's 2-year wrongful-death statute. May be eligible for a claim.
High-value cases (tier 4-5)
18
Commercial or rideshare at-fault combined with serious or fatal injury. Attorney discovery candidates.
Rideshare-suspected crashes
94
At-fault vehicle matches rideshare/taxi signals. Signal only — not a confirmation of Uber/Lyft involvement.
Potentially eligible claimants
At least 3,288
Sum of non-at-fault occupants and non-motorists across all crashes in Denver. Lower bound — delayed-onset injuries can expand this pool after the fact.
14,294 crashes still within Colorado's statute of limitations.
At-fault vehicles by class
- commercial1,270
- private877
- government7
- school bus7
- emergency1
- public transit1
These numbers are auto-classified from crash records and are informational only. They are not legal advice and do not guarantee a claim exists. Delayed-onset symptoms (soft-tissue injuries, concussions) can qualify additional people beyond what raw crash reports show.
