When to Get an Attorney After a Pedestrian Accident in Denver
After a pedestrian accident, it is important to know when to get a personal injury attorney involved. In general, pedestrian accidents are more serious than other types of accidents. Injured pedestrians can face a lifetime of pain and suffering, as well as permanent disability. Even if you believe that you survived your accident relatively unscathed, you could find yourself dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder or emotional distress for years to come.
Pedestrians who got hit by a car must consider the full extent of the damages they suffered before they sign any type of settlement or agreement. To do this best, it is important to contact an experienced and skilled Denver pedestrian accident lawyer.
There are a few key things to look for that may indicate you need legal help:
- You were seriously injured and need help getting compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages
- The driver who hit you was uninsured or under-insured
- The driver who hit you was intoxicated or on drugs

How to Collect Evidence After a Drunk Driving Accident in Denver
If you were injured in a drunk driving accident in Denver, you may be wondering what your legal options are. Fortunately, the law is on your side. Driving drunk is a crime. It also means they're responsible for the accident and the damages they caused. While the police pursue a criminal case against the drunk driver, who is looking out for you and your best interests?
Fortunately, when you hire a personal injury lawyer, you will have a strong legal advocate in your corner who can pursue your rights to compensation. To do this, you may need to file a personal injury claim in civil court against the drunk driver. If the driver was convicted of drunk driving, that can be used as evidence in your case.
You may also be able to sue the bar or restaurant that served the driver alcohol. This is known as Colorado's dram shop laws. Bars are liable for accidents their drunk guests cause under certain circumstances. If they served them even though they knew or should have known that the person was already drunk, they can be held liable.

415 Fatalities in Memorial Day Holiday Weekend Accidents Estimated This Year
Memorial Day weekend is here, and many of us are looking forward to a long weekend of rest and relaxation. For millions of us in the United States, that means hitting the wide open road and getting out to see the country, something we can all appreciate after a long, stressful year spent in the middle of a pandemic.
According to American Automobile Association (AAA) estimates, more than 37 million people are expected to travel 50 miles or more from their homes between May 27th through the 31st, representing a 60% increase over last year's numbers, which were stymied by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In fact, last year saw the lowest number of Memorial Day weekend travelers since the AAA started tracking these numbers in 2000, and the 37 million expected this year is still about 13% less than the number of Memorial Day travelers in 2019. So while the country is still on the rebound, it's looking like things are slowly getting back to normal.
Speeding Kills
Many of us will admit to exceeding the speed limit at least once or twice in our lives. Maybe while running a little late to work, or maybe rushing to be on time for an engagement that was important to us. And the vast majority of the time, nothing catastrophic happens when we speed.
But unfortunately, for hundreds of United States citizens every day who speed for one reason or another, the catastrophic does happen. In fact, driving too fast for road conditions, or exceeding the posted speed limit, is one of the greatest contributing factors in motor vehicle crashes.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, in 2019 alone 9,478 fatalities, representing 26% of all traffic crash fatalities that year, were caused by accidents in which excessive speed was a factor.
That year there were 8,544 fatal automobile collisions that were caused by speeding drivers, and these numbers are tragic, when you consider that speeding should be a fairly easy behavior to stop.
May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month
May is National Motorcycle Awareness Month, and now that we're in the middle of spring with longer days and warmer weather, we can all expect to see more motorcyclists on the road.
And this motorcycle season is somewhat different, because motorcycle sales dramatically increased throughout the year of 2020, as people longing to get out into the open air searched for new ways to do it.
This increase in interest in motorcycles, presumably driven by frustrations stemming from months in quarantine due to the pandemic, means that not only will there be more motorcyclists on the road, a large number of them will be new riders, so it's important that we learn to see motorcyclists so that we can all do our part to avoid a tragic accident.
Be Prepared and Ride Defensively
Whether you're a seasoned motorcycle veteran or fairly new to riding, participating in a rider training course is always a good idea. You must be properly licensed with a motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license. And before you take your bike for the first spin of the season, perform a tune-up and safety inspection of the lights, tires, and mechanical systems.
