Colorado DUI Accident Attorneys

While serious traffic accidents are always horrible events, collisions that are caused by drunk drivers can be particularly tragic because they are entirely preventable and they often result in severe – if not fatal – injuries. In fact, according to Mother Against Drunk Drivers (MADD):

Every day in the U.S., about 300,000 drivers choose to get behind the wheel when they are intoxicated.

While one person is killed in a DUI accident every 51 or so minutes, another person is hurt in a drunk driving accident every 90 seconds.

About 33 percent of all Americans will be involved in a DUI accident at least once in their lifetime (either as the drunk driver or the accident victim).

Despite the frequency of DUI accidents and their often terrible outcomes, people who are hit by drunk drivers should know that:

While drunk drivers often face criminal charges and penalties, victims can also hold these negligent motorists accountable in civil court.

Victims can obtain compensation for the damages and injuries caused by the drunk driver by filing a lawsuit.

They will have the best chances of obtaining the full amount of compensation they deserve by working with the Littleton drunk driving accident attorneys at the Law Office of Littleton Lawyers™.

Reviewing the details of the police report

Gathering essential evidence, including the results of BAC (blood alcohol content) testing, surveillance footage captured by police cruisers (or other cameras), etc.

Interviewing witnesses and collecting official statements

Reviewing the drunk driver’s criminal record to see if (s)he has a history of DUI

Going up against insurance companies inside and outside of the courtroom

Working relentlessly to help DUI accident victims obtain the best possible resolutions to their cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What evidence is crucial in a drunk driving accident case?

Key evidence in a drunk driving accident case includes police reports, witness statements, medical records, and any available video footage. Blood alcohol content (BAC) test results are also critical. An experienced drunk driving accident attorney can help gather and present this evidence effectively.

Can I still receive compensation if I was partially at fault in the accident?

Yes, under Colorado's comparative negligence law, you can still receive compensation even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. A DUI accident attorney can help assess your case and maximize your potential compensation.

Does Colorado’s Dram Shop law provide grounds for additional liability in DUI crash cases?

Yes, Colorado’s Dram Shop Act can expose third parties—like bars or liquor stores—to liability if they knowingly served alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person who later caused injury. If the at-fault driver was overserved by a commercial establishment, that entity may share responsibility for your damages. Proving this requires evidence such as testimony, credit card tabs, or surveillance footage showing intoxication signs before serving more alcohol. Your attorney can investigate suppliers or servers and add claims against them where appropriate. This can increase your chances of full compensation. It also reinforces accountability beyond the intoxicated driver himself.

Can I access the drunk driver’s BAC results if they plead guilty to DUI in criminal court?

Often, criminal proceedings produce BAC records through police reports or judicial filings accessible to your civil case. Once the driver is convicted, your attorney can subpoena those records for use in your personal injury claim. Demonstrating intoxication with hard evidence strengthens your civil case and injury valuation. Even if you settle before trial, referencing the criminal outcome and BAC result can leverage better settlement offers. Courts and insurers respect established findings of impairment. Your lawyer ensures these records are appropriately used to maximize your recovery.

If the drunk driver had previous DUI offenses, how does that affect my case?

A prior history of DUI can support claims of habitual recklessness or negligence, which may influence damages or punitive award considerations. It shows the driver had a propensity for impaired driving and posed a known risk. While not automatically elevating your compensatory damages, it can justify requests for punitive damages designed to punish and deter. Your attorney can present the prior convictions in court or negotiations to strengthen your case. That context may lead insurers to offer more because they see higher legal exposure. Highlighting repeat behavior can make a substantial strategic difference in your claim’s outcome.

In 2026, how can a DUI arrest of the at-fault driver affect your Colorado car accident injury case?

In 2026, a DUI case can strengthen your injury claim because it provides official records, test results, and officer observations tied to impairment. Colorado’s DUI statute outlines DUI, DUI per se, and DWAI concepts, and those categories often show up in crash reports and charging decisions. Even if the criminal case is pending, the investigative materials can help establish negligence in the civil claim. You still need medical documentation and proof of damages because fault alone does not determine the value of the case. It is also important to preserve toxicology and body camera evidence quickly because retention periods vary. When the civil case is built on the same objective evidence used in the DUI case, insurers have less room to minimize liability.

What steps should I take immediately after a drunk driving accident?

After a drunk driving accident, ensure your safety and call emergency services. Collect evidence at the scene, including photos and witness contacts. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine, as injuries can manifest later. Finally, contact drunk driving accident attorney to discuss your legal options.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael Bahr is absolutely amazing! I was in a head on collision and after talking with several attorneys decided to go with Mike Bahr. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He is compassionate, reasonable, and a good lawyer all together. I was able to claim the maximum benefits from both my insurance and the at-fault parties due to the extent of my injuries. When you are in an accident there is a lot of unknowns that add additional stress on top of trying to heal. Mike was able to answer all the questions I had and made sure I was focused on recovery. On top of just being an outstanding person and attorney he also was reasonably priced. Some attorneys are only in it for the money, but Mike Bahr genuinely seems like he wants to help people. He was extremely helpful during one of the most stressful times in my life and for that I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are ever involved in an accident I 100% would recommend reaching out to Mike Bahr.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and Ben both worked on my case against the seller of my house that did not disclose a mouse infestation. Both of them listened to my case and discussed possible strategies to help me win. They had very little time to prepare (roughly a month) between the mediation and the trial. They were both very sympathetic to what had been an incredibly stressful situation. Because of Ben and Mike's help I ended up winning my case and I am beyond grateful for their help.
