Pedestrian Accidents in Colorado
Pedestrian-involved crashes are a growing concern in urban areas like Denver, where high-traffic intersections, low visibility, and distracted driving contribute to serious accidents. Early morning and nighttime crashes often present additional risks due to reduced lighting and driver fatigue.
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), pedestrian accidents result in significant injuries or fatalities more frequently than other crash types. Safety officials urge drivers to remain alert, yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and reduce speeds in urban areas to help prevent such incidents.
Pedestrians injured in vehicle crashes may face extensive medical bills, long-term rehabilitation, and lost wages during recovery. Seeking legal guidance can help victims and their families understand their rights and options for compensation.
