Colorado Cellphone Usage and Distracted Driving Laws
In Colorado, distracted driving is a serious issue that puts both drivers and pedestrians at risk. The state has implemented specific laws to address the growing problem of cellphone usage behind the wheel. At McCormick & Murphy - Personal Injury Lawyers, we understand the importance of understanding these regulations and the potential legal implications they carry.
Colorado's cellphone usage laws prohibit the use of handheld devices while driving, including making calls, sending text messages, or accessing the internet. Violators can face fines and points on their driving record. Additionally, if a distracted driver's actions result in injury or fatality, they may face more severe legal consequences, such as criminal charges.

We can provide guidance on your rights and responsibilities as a driver, as well as assist you in seeking compensation if you've been injured by a distracted driver.
