Proving Liability in a Pedestrian Accident Case

- Gathering Evidence: We collect critical evidence from the scene, including photos, videos, and physical evidence. We also obtain and review traffic camera footage when available.

Potential Liable Parties We’ll Consider
- Drivers: Often liable due to negligence like distracted driving or speeding.
- Pedestrians: May share liability if they were jaywalking or ignoring traffic signals.
- Municipalities: Could be responsible if faulty traffic signals, poor crosswalks, or inadequate lighting contributed to the accident.
- Vehicle Manufacturers: Defective vehicle parts or systems may also lead to manufacturer liability.
At Boesen Law, we meticulously investigate all aspects of your case to identify and hold all responsible parties accountable, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
Typical Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents – We Can Help You Claim Compensation
Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection compared to vehicle occupants. These injuries can have long-term impacts on your health and quality of life, and will be one of the determining factors in your compensation. Similarly, when pedestrians are involved in car accidents, motorcycle accidents, or truck collisions, the consequences can be even more devastating.
Common Injuries Include:
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Internal injuries
- Lacerations and abrasions
We know that these injuries can lead to significant medical expenses, ongoing treatment, and rehabilitation needs. And our team is dedicated to helping you claim the compensation necessary to cover all of these costs and support your recovery.
Steps to Take Immediately After a Pedestrian Accident
It’s crucial to act swiftly and deliberately, not only to ensure your safety and well-being but also to preserve crucial evidence that can support your case. At Boesen Law, we recommend the following steps to protect your rights:
- Seek medical attention: Prioritize your health and get a medical evaluation, even if injuries are not immediately apparent.
- Report the accident: In Denver, you are required to report an accident to the Denver Police Department immediately if it involves injuries, death, or significant property damage. For incidents involving only property damage, you have up to 24 hours to report the accident.
- Document the scene: Take photos or videos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any relevant details.
- Collect information: Gather contact information from involved parties and any witnesses.
- Avoid admitting fault: Refrain from making statements about fault to anyone other than your attorney.
- Keep records: Save all medical records, bills, and any correspondence related to the accident.
