Where Do Bicycle Accidents Happen in Denver?
Bicycle accidents in Denver are often severe and sometimes even fatal. In Denver, bicyclists represent roughly 2 percent of the state's crash fatalities. However, ten times as many cyclists suffer serious injuries in accidents on the road.
While wearing a helmet dramatically reduces the risk of sustaining a serious head injury in a bicycle accident, it does not prevent all types of injuries.
While bicycle accidents can occur at any time and to anyone, there are some places where bicycle accidents seem to occur at a more alarming rate. In the city of Denver, bicycle accidents are surprisingly more concentrated in a dozen city core neighborhoods.
Bicycle accidents are more likely to occur in these Denver neighborhoods:
- Congress Park
- Westwood
How to Talk to Your Teen About Safe Driving
The 100 Deadliest Days of Summer are rapidly approaching for teen drivers. The 100 deadliest days of summer are a period of time when teen drivers are more likely to be involved in fatal car accidents. This period typically runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. During this time, most teens are out of school and have more free time to drive. This increases the risk of serious and deadly car crashes.
There are a number of factors that contribute to the increased risk of accidents during the 100 deadliest days of summer. One is that inexperienced drivers tend to take more risks behind the wheel, such as speeding or driving while distracted. Additionally, there are more cars on the road during summer vacation, which can lead to congested traffic and an increased chance of accidents.
To help keep teens safe on the roads this summer, parents and guardians should encourage them to drive safely and follow the rules of the road. Additionally, teens should be aware of their own driving abilities and limitations and know when to stop driving if they are feeling fatigued or distracted.

What is Subrogation in an Injury Case?
If you suffered an injury in a car accident in Denver, you may wonder who ultimately pays for your injuries and damages. After a car accident, your health insurance company might bear the burden of paying for your medical bills while you are in the hospital.
However, if the accident was not your fault, they will not want to bear this burden alone. If they find out that you received money in an injury settlement, they will want their cut. This is where subrogation comes into play.
Subrogation is a legal process where one party stands in the place of another party to assert a legal claim or right. In the context of an injury case, this means that if you are injured in a car accident and your insurance company pays for your medical bills, they may then seek reimbursement from the at-fault driver's insurance company through subrogation.
In some cases, this can happen even if you have not yet settled your personal injury case with the at-fault driver.
The purpose of subrogation is to ensure that the party who ultimately bears the responsibility for the damages pays for them. In many cases, this will be the at-fault driver's insurance company. However, there are some situations where subrogation may not be available or may not make sense.
