Pedestrian Accidents in Colorado
Pedestrian accidents in busy urban areas like Denver are a growing concern, as collisions involving pedestrians often result in severe or life-threatening injuries. Common causes of these crashes include driver inattention, failure to yield at crosswalks, speeding, and impaired driving. Poor lighting conditions and inclement weather can also contribute to visibility issues, increasing the risk of pedestrian-related crashes.
Injuries from pedestrian accidents can range from fractures and head trauma to internal injuries and spinal damage. Because pedestrians have no protection from the impact of a vehicle, even low-speed collisions can have devastating consequences. Seeking immediate medical attention after a pedestrian crash is critical to identifying any hidden or delayed injuries.
For victims of pedestrian accidents, understanding their legal rights is essential. Depending on the circumstances, injured pedestrians may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Consulting with a legal professional can help victims and their families navigate the insurance claims process and ensure they receive the support they need.
