Pedestrian Accidents in Colorado
In recent years, Denver has seen a troubling rise in pedestrian accidents resulting in serious injuries, reflecting a nationwide increase in such incidents. Across the U.S., pedestrian injuries have surged dramatically over the past decade, and Denver’s busy streets remain a hotspot for these dangerous collisions.
Many of these injuries stem from preventable causes, including distracted driving, speeding, and drivers failing to yield at crosswalks. Each injury represents a person whose life has been forever changed—whether a commuter, a child, or someone simply walking home. The physical, emotional, and financial impact on victims and their families is profound.
