Colorado Pedestrian Crashes
Pedestrian accidents remain a pressing safety issue across Colorado, particularly in busy urban centers like Denver, where foot traffic and vehicle congestion often collide. As cities expand and streets grow more crowded, the risk of serious pedestrian injuries continues to rise.
From crosswalks in Capitol Hill to intersections along Colfax Avenue and Federal Boulevard, pedestrians in Colorado are frequently put in harm’s way, often through no fault of their own. Lacking the protection of a vehicle, individuals on foot are especially vulnerable when collisions occur, with even low-speed impacts capable of causing devastating harm.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the vast majority of traffic crashes—more than 94%—are linked to human error. In Colorado, pedestrian accidents are commonly caused by:
- Drivers failing to yield at marked crosswalks
- Distracted or inattentive driving
- Speeding in urban or residential zones
- Impaired driving due to alcohol or drugs
- Running red lights or stop signs
Injured pedestrians often face a long and difficult road to recovery. In addition to physical injuries—such as fractures, head trauma, or internal damage—victims may endure emotional distress, lost income, and financial strain from mounting medical bills and rehabilitation.
