Personal injury attorney Scott O'Sullivan, founder of both The O'Sullivan Law Firm and Rider Justice, has been a leading voice in this effort, working for over seven years alongside numerous safety advocates. Rider Justice, the firm's dedicated motorcycle advocacy arm, joined in pushing for this important change. Together, they have long recognized the devastating impact of distracted driving on Colorado's communities, particularly on vulnerable road users like motorcyclists, and have been committed to ensuring our laws reflect today's driving realities.
The passage of this law would not have been possible without the support of a broad coalition that included CORD (Coloradans Organized for Responsible Driving), Bicycle Colorado, the Colorado State Patrol, and visionary Colorado legislators.
The firm is especially proud of the contributions made by Scott's sons, Tommy and Michael O'Sullivan, through their group Students for Safer Roads. They brought a fresh perspective to the debate, underscoring that these safety measures will protect not only today's drivers, but also the next generation of Coloradans.
Starting January 1, 2025, it will be illegal to hold a cellphone or other electronic device while operating a motor vehicle in Colorado. Violators may face fines and points on their license, but more importantly, complying with this new law will help save lives, reduce injuries, and prevent countless families from experiencing tragic loss.

The O'Sullivan Law Firm and Rider Justice remain committed to promoting and enforcing these standards, and will continue to work toward further improvements in road safety.
