Denver Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Denver Pedestrian Accident Attorney Serving Colorado

Accidents involving motor vehicle and pedestrians can be deadly. Even the smallest passenger vehicles can weigh thousands of pounds, and they are likely to inflict severe bodily harm in a collision with a person on foot, scooter, or bicycle. Every year, around 80 pedestrians are killed in car accidents in Colorado, and more than 1,000 people are injured after being struck by vehicles. Due to the severity and nature of these accidents, injuries sustained by pedestrians can be catastrophic, and they can lead to a lifetime of pain, permanent disabilities, and multiple other problems that may affect nearly every area of a person's life.

Colorado has strict laws that serve to protect pedestrians and prevent unnecessary accidents from occurring. Unfortunately, many drivers do not follow the laws as required. Drivers may run through stop lights, exceed speed limits, or engage in texting while driving or other distractions, and these violations can all put pedestrians at risk. The attorneys at The Gold Law Firm have worked with numerous clients who have been injured in pedestrian accidents, and we know how driver negligence can result in serious, life-long injuries for victims. We work to ensure that our clients can take the proper legal action to respond in these situations, and we fight to secure compensation that will fully address a victim's injuries and other ways they have been affected.

What Are My Options After a Pedestrian Accident?

If you or a member of your family have been injured after being struck by a motor vehicle, it is important to know that the law is on your side. Drivers who operate on Colorado roadways are responsible for exercising a reasonable level of care while driving. If you are injured by another driver's negligence, that driver may be held legally liable for your injuries and for any damages that have occurred because of their actions.

After an injury, you will need a qualified and experienced Colorado personal injury attorney on your side. Your attorney may negotiate with insurance companies to ensure that you receive the proper coverage. If necessary, a lawyer may file a lawsuit seeking compensation for all damages resulting from an accident, ensuring that you will be able to address issues such as medical expenses, rehabilitation, long term care, and lost wages.

Our attorneys can fully investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident and gather the necessary evidence to prove that the driver who struck you acted negligently. This may include obtaining police reports, hiring experts, getting statements from witnesses, examining the scene of the accident, securing footage of the accident captured by nearby security cameras, reviewing medical records, and uncovering any other information that is relevant to your case. Even if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, we will work to make sure you will be able to receive compensation that will help address your needs.

If a pedestrian accident resulted in the death of a loved one, our lawyers can help you pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. Even though receiving compensation will not bring back your family member, it may help you address the financial effects of your loss and the other ways you and your family have been affected. In addition to compensation for your loved one's medical expenses and the loss of the income they would have been expected to earn during the rest of their natural life, a wrongful death claim may address damages such as loss of companionship, emotional trauma, and expenses related to the funeral and burial. Our compassionate attorneys will advocate on your behalf to make sure your family will be properly compensated.
