Lyft Passenger Injured in Aurora
Alex, a 20-year-old young man, was getting a ride in a Lyft to a friend’s house. His driver needed to cross 6th Avenue in Aurora, Colorado, and he pulled out without taking time to study oncoming traffic.
Meanwhile, two cars were headed east on 6 th Avenue and they were racing at a high rate of speed. Both cars slammed into the Lyft when the driver pulled out, and Alex was ejected from the car. He suffered a brain injury and was in the hospital for months. He faces lifelong, permanent injuries as a result of this Lyft crash.
Renee and her son were walking on a sidewalk outside of a strip mall in Denver. It was a beautiful sunny day, 50 degrees outside. Renee and her son walked from a bright area to a shaded area and she slipped on black ice.
Renee fell on her back and hit her head so hard that it knocked her out. She ended up in the hospital with a traumatic brain injury, knee injury, short-term memory loss and bilateral tinnitus.
Jackson and his wife, Mary, were on a road trip along the eastern seaboard in 2019. On the way home, Jackson had a craving for oysters and suggested they stop at a high-end restaurant. Mary did not eat the raw oysters.
Within 48 hours, Jackson fell seriously ill and was hospitalized. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and within 72 hours, he succumbed to sepsis. Shockingly, doctors had to amputate both of his legs, and they were contemplating removing one of his arms before his passing.
Chris and his wife, Betty, were on their Harley-Davidson, traveling northbound on Sheridan. As they approached the intersection, where they had a green light, an Uber driver made a left-hand turn across their lane and hit them. Both Chris and Betty sustained broken hands, broken legs, and severe road rash.
Raul was riding his motorcycle on Highway 76 near Fort Morgan when a woman made a left-hand turn in front of him. Raul had no time to react and slammed into her car.

Malorie was a passenger in a friend’s car and they were driving over Berthoud Pass. Her friend hit black ice, lost control of the car and they flew over the guardrail, flipping and rolling several hundred feet down the mountain. The paramedics who arrived thought that everyone in the car would be dead, but they were still alive. Malorie suffered broken ribs, a broken hip, a punctured lung, and a torn artery in her neck.
Rita was riding her motorcycle eastbound on I-70 when all of a sudden a giant blanket flew off of a nearby truck and landed in her path. But this was no ordinary blanket. It was a concrete tarp, used by concrete companies to cover concrete products during transportation. They are heavy and they are sturdy. Rita hit the tarp and went down. She was severely injured and ended up in the hospital for a long stay.
It was late at night and Derek was on the side of the road, standing next to his motorcycle, when he and his bike were hit by a drunk driver. Derek was catastrophically injured and is terminally disabled both mentally and physically. The drunk driver fled the scene. Luckily, a carload of witnesses stopped to tend to Derek, and they also shared their story with police. They actually knew the drunk driver!
