According to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), pedestrian-involved accidents often occur due to distracted driving, failure to yield, or low visibility during evening hours. Both drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to exercise caution and remain alert to prevent such incidents.
Victims of pedestrian accidents may face significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Seeking immediate medical care and understanding legal options for pursuing compensation are essential steps in recovery.
