What Can You Recover After Being Hit as a Pedestrian?
Most serious pedestrian accidents we take resolve between $200,000 and $20 million, and the catastrophic ones define the top of that range. Pedestrian impacts produce the injuries juries value highest: uncapped impairment and lifetime care.
We prepare every case for trial from day one, and insurers know it. That is why our settlements come in bigger and faster. And so far, we are undefeated.
With us, you speak directly with your attorney, and our RN Medical Director manages your medical care from day one, insurance or no insurance. There's no fee unless we win. Contact us now for a free consultation.
Why Should I Hire A Pedestrian accident Lawyer in Aurora?
Because the other side starts immediately. Drivers rarely admit fault against a person on foot, and reconstruction plus fast camera work is what decides it. A lawyer who handles these cases every week levels that field from day one: the evidence gets preserved before it disappears, the right experts get involved early, and the adjuster's opening number stops being the conversation.
The consultation is free, and there is no fee unless we win.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Pedestrian accident Lawyer?
The structure is simple: free consultation, contingency representation, every expense advanced by us, nothing owed unless we win. You will never write us a check. And because our RN Medical Director arranges treatment paid from the settlement, medical care does not wait on money either.
How Much Is My Pedestrian accident Case Worth?
Most serious pedestrian accident cases we take resolve between $200,000 and $20 million. Where a case lands in that range turns on four levers: the severity and permanence of the injuries, the strength of the liability proof, the insurance actually available, and how completely the damages are documented. Colorado adds a fifth: permanent impairment is compensated without any cap, which is where major cases grow. The categories below are what we document and demand.
Under HB24-1472, non-economic damages are capped at $1.5 million (2025); economic damages and physical impairment damages are uncapped, and a fatal crash carries the $2,125,000 wrongful death cap. When the driver was drunk, distracted, or fleeing, exemplary damages come into play. And when a child is hit, the claim must account for a lifetime of consequences, school, work, care, not a quick number an adjuster offers a shaken family.
What Steps Should I Take After A Pedestrian accident?
- Call 911 and get the report number before anyone leaves.
- Photograph everything before the vehicles move: positions, plates, debris, signals, and your visible injuries.
- Collect witness names and phone numbers; they vanish in minutes and police reports often miss them.
- Get medical care the same day, even if you feel fine. Symptoms routinely bloom over 72 hours, and the gap becomes the insurer's argument.
- Report the crash to your own insurer factually; give the other side nothing recorded.
- Keep the vehicle, helmet, or gear unrepaired until it is documented, and write down everything you remember tonight.
Every one of these steps you can take today, no lawyer required, and each one strengthens whatever comes next. When you are ready for the parts that do need us, the consultation is free.
When Should I Hire a Lawyer?
Earlier than feels necessary. Evidence decays fastest in the first weeks: footage overwrites, scenes change, witnesses scatter, and anything you tell an insurer before representation can be used later. The consultation is free precisely so timing never costs you. Call before you give any statement or sign anything.
Why Pedestrian Cases Are Different
There is no fender to absorb anything, the first thing struck is a human body, so the injuries are catastrophic at speeds drivers consider slow. And because the pedestrian is often unconscious or hospitalized while the driver gives the only statement, the police narrative starts one-sided. We rebuild it: impact mechanics fix vehicle speed, cameras and witnesses fix the light and the lane, and Colorado's crosswalk statutes fix the duty. The full legal breakdown lives on our pedestrian accident playbook, the Aurora work is about this city's specific corridors.
Where Aurora Pedestrians Get Hit
East Colfax is the metro area's most notorious pedestrian corridor, long blocks, five lanes, transit stops set far from signals, and heavy foot traffic day and night. Havana Street and Mississippi Avenue run the same design at the same speeds. Add school zones across Aurora Public Schools' territory, the R Line stations pushing riders across I-225 frontage intersections, and apartment districts where daily life happens on foot, and Aurora's pedestrian injury numbers are among the worst in the state. The city knows it, these corridors appear year after year in Colorado's dangerous-intersection data, and that documented history feeds directly into our cases.
How We Build an Aurora Pedestrian Case
Camera canvassing comes first, RTD buses and trains, storefronts along Colfax and Havana, doorbells in the neighborhoods, because footage that shows the light and the impact ends the "came out of nowhere" defense. We pair it with the vehicle's event data, the crash reconstruction, and the corridor's crash history. On the medical side, pedestrian victims are treated at UCHealth's Level I trauma center or Children's Hospital Colorado when the victim is a child, and we build the lifetime-care case with those treating teams.
Venue, Deadlines, and Trial in Pedestrian accident Cases
Aurora pedestrian cases are generally filed in Arapahoe County District Court (Adams County for the northwest side). The filing deadline is three years (C.R.S. § 13-80-101), two for wrongful death; if a signal, crossing design, or missing streetlight contributed, a governmental-notice deadline of 182 days may apply. Insurers pay these cases when the footage is locked and the reconstruction is done, and we make sure both happen. If trial is what it takes, we are ready.
