I-25 through Pueblo has produced some of the most severe crashes in the state, including a 36-vehicle dust-storm pileup that killed five people in early 2026. I race at Pueblo Motorsports Park at least once a year and come down regularly for track days, so I know this stretch of I-25 from actually driving it, not just from crash reports.
I race at Pueblo Motorsports Park at least once a year, and I come down for track days on top of that. That means I've driven I-25 through Pueblo more times than I can count, in every kind of weather this stretch of highway can throw at you, including the sudden high-wind, low-visibility conditions that have caused some of the worst pileups in the state.
If you were hurt in a crash in or around Pueblo, you're dealing with a city that sees serious, often severe wrecks despite its size. A busy interstate corridor, sudden weather, and heavy commercial truck traffic all combine here in ways that most attorneys only understand from a police report. I understand it from having actually driven this corridor myself.
Pueblo's crash history is out of proportion to its size, and the reasons are specific: a major interstate corridor prone to sudden weather, heavy commercial traffic, and a mix of urban and rural roads that don't always get the attention bigger cities do. If you were hurt near any of these corridors, that history is relevant to your case.
This stretch of interstate produced one of the deadliest crashes in recent Colorado history: a 36-vehicle pileup in February 2026 caused by sudden high winds kicking up a dust "brownout" that left drivers with almost no visibility. Heavy commercial truck traffic combined with sudden weather changes makes this corridor unpredictable even for drivers who know it well.
The urban stretch of I-25 through Pueblo mixes commuter traffic, commercial trucking, and complex interchanges. Rear-end and lane-change crashes are common here, and construction zones in recent years have added another layer of risk for drivers and riders alike.
A major arterial connecting Pueblo West and the southern part of the city to I-25, Pueblo Boulevard sees heavy commuter and retail traffic. Left-turn crashes and intersection conflicts are a recurring pattern along this corridor.
Highway 50 carries significant east-west traffic through Pueblo, mixing local drivers with travelers passing through on longer trips. Multiple at-grade intersections and a wide mix of vehicle types, from farm equipment to commercial trucks, create ongoing risk.
Pueblo West and the surrounding rural roads see higher speeds, less lighting, and longer emergency response times than the city core. Crashes out here are often more severe simply because of the speeds involved and the distance to help.
I've raced and done track days at Pueblo Motorsports Park myself, and the drive down I-25 to get there is part of that routine for a lot of riders and drivers in the racing community. Trailer traffic, distracted drivers unfamiliar with the area, and the same wind-driven visibility issues that affect the rest of this corridor are real hazards on race weekends.

Learn moreNearly every injury firm charges a percentage of your recovery. The difference is what percentage they charge. We are transparent with our fees. Most firms tend to hide theirs.
Lower overhead means a lower fee, not a lower standard. The firm never makes more than the client.
*Venyx fee structure: 29% standard, 33% if a lawsuit is filed. Client is responsible for case costs. Calculator figures are estimates only; actual fees are discussed at consultation, and your final recovery is also reduced by case costs, medical liens and other legal obligations. Every case is different.
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of the crash. If a government entity is involved, such as a city vehicle or a defect on a road maintained by CDOT, you may need to file a notice within 182 days. Missing that deadline typically bars your claim entirely. Don't wait to consult an attorney.
Personal injury lawsuits arising in Pueblo and Pueblo County are generally filed in Pueblo County District Court. Colorado State Patrol typically handles crashes on I-25 and other state highways, while Pueblo Police Department handles crashes within city limits.
Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you were less than 50% at fault, you can still recover, but your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies routinely try to inflate your fault percentage, especially in multi-vehicle pileups where fault gets argued aggressively. We fight to keep that number as low as the facts support.
Colorado does not require helmet use for riders 18 and older. Insurance companies will try to use your helmet status to argue you assumed the risk or contributed to your injuries. The absence of a helmet doesn't determine fault for the crash. It may affect damages for specific head injuries, but it doesn't end your case. We've handled this argument many times.
Weather doesn't erase a driver's duty to adjust their speed and following distance for conditions. In a pileup like the one that happened on I-25 south of Pueblo in early 2026, fault often comes down to which drivers reacted appropriately to the sudden loss of visibility and which ones didn't. These cases can involve multiple liable parties, and untangling that requires a careful, methodical investigation. We know how to build that case.
