What do we actually know about Aurora?
Two public records. The Census Bureau estimates Aurora has about 410,053 residents. The federal crash census (NHTSA FARS) counts 704 fatal crashes in Adams County, Arapahoe County and Douglas County from 2020 to 2024, the most in 2022 (155). Those are county-wide counts, not Aurora alone. Neither figure says an attorney is available here, and neither indicates what any particular case is worth.

NHTSA FARS — Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2020–2024, across Adams County, Arapahoe County and Douglas County. "After dark" is the crash report's light condition; "rural" is the road's classification, not the city's; a cyclist is counted only when being struck was the first harmful event. Source
