As a pedestrian, you may assume that you are safe from harm when you are walking along a sidewalk or crossing the street within a legal intersection. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Pedestrians can be hit by bicyclists, motorcycles, trucks, or even vehicles while on the sidewalk, and there are numerous crosswalk accidents each year.
Talk with our team about your claim today at (719) 444-1000.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
While few pedestrian accidents are the result of a reckless or negligent pedestrian who failed to follow the rules of the road, many are also the result of negligent and reckless drivers.
Pedestrian accidents are commonly caused by:
- Failure to stop behind a crosswalk
- Failing to yield to pedestrians
- Unsafe left-hand turns
- Running red lights
- Texting while driving or distracted driving
- Drunk driving
- Ignoring traffic signals
If you have been hurt while crossing the street or walking on the sidewalk, a pedestrian accident attorney in Colorado Springs can investigate the circumstances that led to your accident and help you file a personal injury claim.
Colorado Pedestrian Right-of-Way Rules
Colorado pedestrian right-of-way rules can make crosswalk accidents more complex than they first appear. When traffic signals are absent or not operating, drivers generally must yield to pedestrians crossing within a crosswalk when statutory conditions are met. Walk and Don’t Walk signals can also affect the duties of people who have already begun crossing.
Pedestrians crossing outside a marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection generally must yield to vehicles, depending on the circumstances. Right-of-way rules are evidence to consider, not an automatic answer to liability in every pedestrian accident. Our team can review the crossing, traffic signals, driver conduct, and other available facts as part of a personal injury claim.

“This review is late. It was posted at another location and I just realized that it need to be here. From my review immediately after my case was resolved in January 2020. If you are reading this you have, or know someone, who has been through something terrible, unexpected and now you are wondering what to do. And if you do research you will find the "TV" guys are not what you want. For me it was a car accident that was not my fault. The at fault party was cited for careless driving. That was a Thursday. The following Monday I was in Ted's office. My injuries involved my head (9 staples from impacting the roll bar in my Jeep), my neck and back. I also had issues with not hearing things properly, inability to find the right words and forgetfulness. Ted assured me that he would be able to help me with treatment and also with compensation. The doctors that he sent me to were cordial, friendly and just nice people. His office is near downtown Colorado Springs and you will always see him and not someone else. In the beginning he told me what he was going to do and how much he was going to fight for, with an emphasis on me getting better. In the end that is exactly what happened. I received the proper treatment and my case was resolved with a 225K settlement. He was paid, the doctors that treated me were paid and I was able to get a new start. I highly recommend Ted.”- Brian H
