The physical evidence, witness accounts, diagrams, body-camera or dash-camera footage, and the precise statutory subsection may matter. Preserve available evidence and calendar the court date.
Keep original photographs, videos, exchange-of-information forms, repair estimates, witness contacts, and the complete citation. Insurance reporting and the court case are separate concerns.
Colorado law distinguishes ordinary careless driving from circumstances involving bodily injury, serious bodily injury, or death. Avoid relying on an old web summary when the current statute and summons are available.
