When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the human body has no protection — and the injuries are frequently severe or fatal. Whether you were in a crosswalk, on a sidewalk, or in a parking lot, you have rights. Injury Claim Team connects injured pedestrians and grieving families with experienced Colorado attorneys.
Pedestrian Accidents Claims in Colorado
Colorado law gives pedestrians the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but distracted and speeding drivers still cause hundreds of pedestrian injuries each year. Urban centers like Denver and Colorado Springs, busy arterials, and winter conditions that reduce visibility all increase the danger. Drivers who fail to yield, turn without looking, or drive impaired can be held fully accountable.
No fee unless we win: Our network attorneys handle pedestrian accidents cases on contingency. You pay nothing unless they recover compensation for you, and the case review is always free.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents Injuries
Many pedestrian accidents cases share recurring causes. Identifying exactly what went wrong — and who is responsible — is the foundation of a strong claim:
- Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks
- Distracted driving
- Speeding in residential and school zones
- Drivers turning without checking for pedestrians
- Impaired driving
- Poor visibility and inadequate lighting
- Backing-up accidents in parking lots
- Running red lights and stop signs
Compensation You May Recover
Every case is different, but injured Coloradans pursuing pedestrian accidents claims may be entitled to compensation for emergency medical care, surgeries and rehabilitation, lost income, long-term disability, disfigurement, pain and suffering, and wrongful death damages for families who have lost a loved one. The right attorney makes sure every category of loss is documented and pursued.

Why Act Quickly
Colorado law limits how long you have to file a claim, and evidence disappears fast — skid marks fade, surveillance footage is overwritten, and witnesses move on. The sooner you connect with an attorney, the more they can do to protect your rights and build your case. There is no downside to a free consultation, and no obligation.
