Colorado Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents are a growing concern across Colorado, from busy urban intersections to quiet neighborhood streets. Whether you’re walking to work, crossing at a crosswalk, or simply enjoying a stroll, a moment of driver negligence can lead to life-changing consequences. These crashes often result in serious injuries, emotional distress, and overwhelming financial burdens.
If you’ve been hit by a car while walking, you may be entitled to compensation, but navigating a pedestrian injury claim isn’t always straightforward. Here are some key issues that could impact your case:
Driver Negligence: Many pedestrian collisions are caused by drivers who are speeding, distracted, failing to yield, or ignoring traffic signals. Proving negligence typically involves reviewing police reports, obtaining witness statements, and sometimes analyzing video or dashcam footage.
Insurance Company Tactics: Insurers may try to place blame on the pedestrian or minimize the extent of injuries in order to protect their bottom line. A skilled attorney can help ensure you aren’t pressured into accepting less than you’re entitled to.
Shared Fault and Third-Party Liability: Some accidents involve more than just the driver. Poorly maintained roads, faulty traffic lights, or unsafe construction zones can also contribute to a crash. In these situations, a broader legal strategy may be necessary to identify all responsible parties.
Severe Injuries and Long-Term Costs: Pedestrian accidents frequently result in devastating injuries, including broken bones, internal trauma, brain injuries, and permanent disability. Accurate medical documentation is essential to pursue full compensation for both immediate and future care.
Hazardous Conditions: Poor lighting, unmarked crosswalks, and obstructed views can all increase the risk of pedestrian accidents, especially in high-traffic or fast-growing areas. In some cases, government entities or private contractors may be held liable for unsafe conditions.
