Colorado’s roads have become increasingly dangerous for people traveling on foot.
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, pedestrian fatalities increased 98.4% between 2015 and 2025—nearly doubling in just ten years.
Behind every statistic is a person, a family and a life permanently changed.
When a pedestrian is killed because of another party’s negligence, eligible family members may be able to pursue a wrongful-death claim. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may be available for funeral expenses, lost financial support, loss of companionship and other damages.
These cases can depend on evidence such as police reports, witness accounts, surveillance footage, vehicle data and cellphone records. Because important evidence can disappear and Colorado imposes filing deadlines, families should understand their options as early as possible.
