Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pedestrian accident cases in Colorado
What should I do if I'm hit by a car as a pedestrian?
Seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Internal injuries are common in pedestrian accidents and may not show symptoms right away. Report the accident to police, gather witness information, and contact Shannon before speaking with the driver's insurance company.
Can I recover damages if I was jaywalking when hit?
Yes. Under Colorado's comparative negligence law, you can still recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault. Even if you were not in a crosswalk, the driver may still bear significant responsibility. Shannon investigates all factors to build the strongest possible case.
What types of injuries do pedestrian accident victims typically suffer?
Pedestrian accidents frequently cause severe injuries including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and internal organ injuries. Shannon's 25+ years as an RN allows her to accurately assess these injuries and project long-term medical needs for your claim.
