The Person Who Hit You Should Pay Fair Compensation
A car accident lawyer can fight for the money you and your family need to make a fresh start after a devastating injury. You could be eligible for multiple types of damages, including but not limited to:
- Medical expenses, including medication, therapy, assistive devices, diagnostic tests, ambulance rides, and hospital stays
- Loss of income, including any temporary loss of wages, salary, or benefits (such as health insurance)
- Loss of earning capacity, which refers to a permanent inability to find or maintain a job or to work the same number of hours as before
- Pain and suffering, including all physical and mental symptoms associated with the accident
- Disabilities, from temporary injuries like mild concussions and broken bones to permanent injuries like amputations and spinal cord injuries
- Reduced quality of life, including any loss of ability to perform basic tasks, enjoy hobbies or outings, or socialize with friends or family
Even before you hire a lawyer, the insurance company might reach out with a settlement offer that they claim will cover your damages. Do not take their word for it or sign anything. Let your attorney assess your case before you accept a settlement agreement.

How Pedestrian Accidents Happen in Colorado
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), there were over 1,400 pedestrian accidents in Colorado in 2023. Even crossing legally at an intersection did not necessarily offer protection: at least 217 pedestrians were hit while doing so, which is roughly equal to the number who were hit while crossing somewhere other than an intersection.
These types of accidents can happen when drivers fail to:
- Keep an eye out for pedestrians, especially at intersections, in parking lots, and in potentially dangerous environments (e.g., heavy traffic or bad weather)
- Yield the right of way when required at crosswalks, traffic lights, stop signs, or yield signs
- Maintain a safe, legal rate of speed that allows them to stop quickly when necessary
While pedestrians can help prevent accidents by remaining alert and using sidewalks when available, these measures are not always enough to overcome the actions of a distracted, reckless, or negligent driver.
When someone else causes your accident, you want to learn about your rights as soon as possible. The legal team at The Goldwater Law Firm recognizes that your need for results is paramount. Our law firm partners are ready to act fast to protect your future and champion your right to appropriate damages.

Frequently Asked Questions
You are entitled to enough money to cover all past, present, and future losses. It is your lawyer’s job to find enough evidence to prove what losses you sustained and convince the insurance company to pay what you have asked for.
Under Colorado law, you can recover damages as long as your share of responsibility for the crash is not “as great as” the other party’s share of responsibility. In other words, as long as you are 49 percent or less liable for the accident, you could be entitled to damages.
Even if you do still qualify for damages, your compensation will be reduced in accordance with your share of fault. For example, someone who is 10 percent liable will see their payout reduced by 10 percent.
It is therefore in your best interests to hire a lawyer who can thoroughly investigate your crash and prove that your share of responsibility is minimal or that you were not responsible at all.
Our co-counsel will accept a percentage of your final payout as their attorneys’ fees. They will go over this percentage and other terms of payment—for example, you will not be expected to pay anything if you do not recover damages—before you sign their contract.
