Pedestrian Accident cases in Aurora
People walk everywhere in Aurora — across Colfax Avenue, Havana Street, and Parker Road, near schools and campuses, and through busy parking lots. With dense commuter corridors around the Anschutz medical campus, drivers in Arapahoe County too often fail to yield, and a pedestrian struck by a vehicle almost always comes away with the more serious injuries.
Drivers generally must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and exercise care everywhere else. If a driver hit you or a family member, a participating Colorado law firm may review the crash and explain your options.
