Pedestrian Accidents in Colorado
Pedestrians are one of the most at-risk types of individuals on the road. Being a pedestrian on the road is one of the most vulnerable positions to be in. Because automobiles and other types of vehicles weigh so much more and are so much bigger than people, any accidents that occur between a person and a vehicle often result in greater consequences for the pedestrian. Even if a person leaves a pedestrian accident without any outward injuries, there can be severe and lasting damage that can be caused to a person after a pedestrian accident.
Pedestrian accidents are the most common types of accidents to occur in the United States and can also be some of the most deadly. In fact, Colorado saw 109 pedestrians killed in traffic accidents in 2022. If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, you are likely swimming in medical bills and other types of financial, physical, mental, and emotional problems. If this is the case, you are entitled to file a personal injury case. Reach out to us at Lebaron & Jensen for legal services if you have been injured in an accident in Colorado.
Common Causes Of Pedestrian Accidents
Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents occur fairly frequently and can cause extreme medical problems and even death. No matter how careful a pedestrian tries to be when they are walking on the street, they are still always in danger of being hit by a vehicle if the driver is not paying proper attention. In fact, most pedestrian accidents occur because either the pedestrian or the driver is not paying proper attention to their surroundings. Following are some of the most common reasons why pedestrian accidents occur:
- Distracted driving
- Alcohol and drug consumption
- Driver’s failure to yield to a crosswalk
- Pedestrians walking into traffic
- Texting while driving
- Low visibility
- Pedestrians walking on the wrong side of the road
- Drivers or pedestrians not paying attention to their surroundings
- Or a lack of understanding of the danger of the roads for children.
Motorized vehicles have the responsibility to be alert when on the road because cars, trucks, etc. because pedestrians could be on the road and are at much higher risk than drivers. If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, feel free to reach out to us at Lebaron & Jensen for legal services that will help you bounce back much more quickly.
Pedestrian Accidents Laws in Colorado
Pedestrians have rights in Colorado that are supported by state laws. Pedestrians have their right of way on marked crosswalks and drivers are required to stop when a pedestrian is on the crosswalk. Drivers and pedestrians must yield to “Don’t Walk” and “Walk” signals and obey all other traffic laws. Accidents happen when drivers and pedestrians do not follow pedestrian laws. Reach out if you have been injured in a pedestrian accident.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
