Colorado summer is finally in full swing. Swimming pools are bustling, gardens are in bloom and lawns are growing at a seemingly impossible rate. As a homeowner, you probably own a mower and find yourself trimming the lawn more than you would like. But you may want to keep this task from involving the whole family.
Are lawnmowers endangering children?
Violent crimes and pointing firearms can have severe consequences
When anybody in Colorado is accused of a crime that involves a weapon, it is typically extremely serious. The reason for this is that the law generally presumes that an individual who possesses a weapon had the intention to use it for other violent crimes. Even attempts to create fear of serious injury in another person by pointing a firearm can lead to severe punishment.
The power to avoid distraction
Most smart phones are home to dozens of apps that can notify you with a ping, a beep, a tone, a buzz or just an icon displayed on the screen. These notifications tell you when you have a text, a message, a photo, a game or some other item calling for your attention. But if you are driving a car, you have no attention to spare.

Plan ahead for a safe holiday
With roughly two weeks to go before our nation celebrates another birthday, now is a good time to consider what your celebration will entail. With the 4th falling on a Wednesday, there may be a reduction in the number of people celebrating all weekend. Still, there will be fireworks, barbecues, parties and increased holiday traffic. There will also be the least welcome element of every holiday: increased car accident deaths.
Insurance Companies Confident In The Face Of Autonomous Cars
What is the point of driverless cars? Is the goal to free up more time for our cell phones? Do we hope to nap on the way to work or on longer journeys? For most safety experts, the goal of autonomous vehicles is to eliminate the cause of more than 90 percent of all car crashes: human error.
Criminal defense: 19-year-old arrested for auto theft and robbery
Facing felony charges in Colorado can ruin a young adult's future if a conviction results. Having a criminal history before establishing an employment history will likely jeopardize a person's chances of securing a job in the future. For this reason, obtaining the services of an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible after an arrest is imperative.
Electric scooters: The latest hazard to grace Denver
If you've been in Denver recently, you've probably noticed the small army of electric scooters clogging city streets and sidewalks. After Lime and Bird deployed literally hundreds of dockless scooters with only a few days' notice, Denver Public Works threatened to impound the lot of them, branding the scooters a menace to public safety.
Hit and run accidents: Suspect arrested after neighbor calls 911
Victims of automobile accidents in Colorado typically have the opportunity to pursue financial relief if the negligence of another party caused the crash. This might become complicated if the at-fault driver failed to remain at the scene. Victims of hit and run accidents may have to rely on their insurance coverage to provide financial relief.
How to avoid collisions with wildlife (or at least reduce the damage)
In many ways, Colorado is synonymous with wilderness. Our state straddles the frontier between prairie and mountain. Our lands abound with natural riches, from snow-capped peaks to dramatic rocky canyons to white-watered alpine streams.
