For Legal Counsel After a Denver Area Pedestrian Accident, Contact Our Law Firm
A pedestrian in areas where cars, trucks and motorcycles travel most likely knows that he or she needs to watch out for traffic to prevent accidents. What a pedestrian does not expect is for drivers of motor vehicles to violate the rules of the road:
- Proceeding through crosswalks despite having red lights
- Running up over the curb due to careless driving
- Ignoring pedestrians who are walking with "WALK" signals
- Speeding
A Colorado pedestrian who is hit by a car often suffers significant injuries, including the following:
- Head injury
- Broken bones
- Massive bruising
- Back and neck injuries
- Skin injuries
- Serious spinal injuries, including catastrophic spinal cord injuries
Pedestrian accidents often have an element of "hit and run," whereby the driver of the car flees rather than stopping to render aid and report the accident as is required by law.
When the driver of the car or truck was uninsured or underinsured and hits a pedestrian, insurance aspects of the case can be tricky. The pedestrian may be eligible for monetary compensation through his or her own auto insurance, homeowner's insurance, renter's insurance, accident insurance or other sources. A Denver pedestrian injury attorney can advise you of all your rights.
It is the job of a personal injury lawyer to discover and tap into any and all available sources of compensation on behalf of a pedestrian accident victim.
