Denver Pedestrian Accidents
Colorado’s growing cities—especially Denver—are known for their walkable neighborhoods, vibrant downtowns, and active outdoor culture. But as more people take to the streets on foot, the number of serious pedestrian accidents is also on the rise. From bustling areas like South Broadway and Colfax Avenue to busy intersections near schools and parks, the risk of being struck by a vehicle is an everyday reality for too many Coloradans.
Each year, thousands of pedestrians are injured across the state—many in incidents that could have been prevented. Whether it’s a distracted driver running a red light, someone speeding through a crosswalk, or failing to yield during a turn, these collisions often share one cause: negligence.
State data shows that pedestrian fatalities and injuries have steadily increased, with Denver and other urban centers seeing the highest concentration. Victims often suffer life-altering injuries like broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, and worse. The physical and emotional recovery can take months—or even years—while the financial toll adds another layer of stress.
