Can a pedestrian sue if hit by a car? Expand
Yes, a pedestrian can sue if hit by a car if the driver is responsible for the accident. The standard to bring a claim depends on state law. In some states, there are minimum injury levels that apply. However, Colorado is an at-fault state. That means, whenever a driver causes an accident that hurts a pedestrian in Colorado, the victim may have a legal claim for damages. Whether a pedestrian can sue if hit by a car depends on the cause of the accident, the victim’s injuries and state law that applies to the claim.
Colorado has strong laws that protect pedestrian accident victims in Englewood. Drivers are expected to use reasonable care at all times on the road. They are expected to be aware of the road conditions and the traffic in the area. They must follow traffic laws at all times.
Proving a case means showing how the driver is at fault for the accident and that the victim has damages. Each case is different. You deserve a legal strategy that is unique to your case. Our attorneys for Englewood pedestrian accidents are prepared to work diligently to gather the evidence you need to make your claim successful.
Colorado pedestrian accident laws Expand
The laws for Colorado pedestrian accidents are based on negligence. That just means that drivers may be legally liable when their driving mistakes cause an accident. Negligence is the lack of ordinary care. When a driver is unreasonably careless, and when that carelessness is the reason for an accident, there may be legal liability.
The accident victim has the legal burden of proof. They must have the evidence to prove that the driver is at fault for the accident. Our team of Englewood pedestrian accident attorneys can work to gather the evidence to prove the case.
What is a typical settlement for a hit pedestrian? Expand
There is no typical settlement for a hit pedestrian because injuries can vary. The value of a pedestrian accident case is based on a number of factors including:
- The medical bills of the victim
- Whether the victim can continue to work
- Pain and suffering of the victim
- Changes to lifestyle from physical limitations
- Property damage
- Mental anguish and injury
A settlement is unique to each pedestrian accident victim. Injuries can be significant in any case involving a vehicle and a person on foot. Your rights include claiming future damages. Don’t discount the value of your claim. Meet with our attorneys for an informed review of all of the damages that you may qualify to claim in your case.
