Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyers Know How to Hold a Driver Accountable for Your Steamboat Springs Injuries

Brown Law Firm’s pedestrian accident lawyers in Steamboat Springs, CO, investigate each case we manage. This includes identifying what caused the collision and showing negligence occurred. Generally, the motorist who hit the pedestrian is liable.

Under Colorado law, drivers have a duty to exercise reasonable care. This includes watching for pedestrians and yielding the right-of-way when necessary. When drivers fail to uphold this duty and their actions cause harm, they can be held accountable for their negligence.

Even if a pedestrian bears some degree of fault, such as by jaywalking or crossing against a signal, the driver may still be liable. We aim to ensure all negligent drivers are held accountable if their actions or inaction led to our client’s injuries.

We investigate the Steamboat Springs, CO, collision and gather evidence, including:

• Witness statements
• Police reports
• Photographs and video footage
• Relevant medical records
• Accident reconstruction reports
• Traffic signal data
• Cell phone records of a distracted driver
• Accident scene survey
• Prior traffic violations
• Surveillance footage, when available
• Documentation of damages

We use this evidence to support an insurance claim based on the driver’s auto liability coverage. We can often negotiate or litigate for fair compensation.
