Common Causes of Merging Accidents

Merging accidents happen for numerous reasons, but in nearly all cases, they are preventable. Drivers may not know or may be unwilling to provide the right of way to another driver, leading to serious accidents. Some of the most common reasons merging accidents happen in Boulder include:

• Failing to check blind spots. With congested traffic throughout much of the city, this is a very common reason for merging accidents.
• Failure to yield the right of way. This commonly occurs as a result of a driver moving into a lane of traffic improperly, often because on-ramp drivers believe the main line of traffic must move out of their way.
• Distracted driving. Drivers on busy roads who are using phones, navigational systems, or otherwise engaged in activities other than driving face a serious risk of injury.
• Speeding, or driving too slowly. This can happen along the busier highways in the area, often making it hard for other vehicles to pick up speed enough to merge safely, or merging far too fast and losing control.
• Aggressive driving. Drivers who force merging or those who cut off other vehicles can be very common causes of merging accidents.

How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Colorado?

The Colorado statute of limitations for most personal injury claims related to car accidents gives you a full three years to seek a lawsuit against the at-fault party, under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-101(1)(n). If you wait longer than this, the court will not hear your case, and you cannot recover damages.
