Denver Pedestrian Injury Attorneys
Pedestrian Accidents in Colorado
On average, a pedestrian is killed in a traffic crash every 110 minutes and injured in a traffic crash every 9 minutes. In Colorado, 11 percent of all traffic fatalities are pedestrians who were hit by cars, trucks or other automobiles. Drivers must watch for pedestrians. When they do not, the experienced Denver pedestrian injury lawyers at Chalat, Hatten & Koupal PC hold them responsible for the injuries that they cause.
If you were injured or a loved one was killed in a Colorado pedestrian accident, contact Chalat, Hatten & Koupal PC. Our personal injury lawyers are compassionate with you and aggressive with the other party. We go to great lengths to find the most effective experts and witnesses for your case, including accident reconstruction experts, medical experts and human factors experts.
Pedestrian Accidents Involving Cars
Most car and pedestrian crashes involve a forward-moving car where a standing or walking pedestrian is struck and then dragged with the car as the car brakes to a halt. Although the pedestrian is hit twice, first by the car and then by the ground, most fatal injuries occur on that first hit. We will investigate your car and pedestrian accident to determine what caused your injury and build a strong case on your behalf.
RTD Bus and Pedestrian Accidents
Far too often, Regional Transportation District (RTD) buses hit and run over pedestrians waiting for the bus or walking along the side of the street. Claims involving RTD buses require a different approach than most personal injury claims. The Colorado Government Immunity Act gives the state government and subsidiaries of the state immunity from lawsuits against them. While it is still possible to bring a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent bus driver, there are specific requirements that you must follow.
Our attorneys have handled many pedestrian accident cases involving public transportation. We are well-versed in the state law requirements and have the experience to bring these lawsuits for innocent victims.
