What Can You Recover After Being Hit as a Pedestrian?
Full economic damages, non-economic damages capped at $1.5 million under HB24-1472, and uncapped physical impairment damages. Pedestrian impacts produce the most serious injuries in this city, because the body meets the bumper directly.
Glendale is one of the most walked cities in Colorado: thousands of apartment residents cross Colorado Boulevard daily for groceries, work, and the trail. The infrastructure was built for cars.
Why Pedestrian Cases Are Different
The pedestrian is usually the only seriously hurt person and often the only one whose version isn't taken at the scene, because they left in an ambulance. So the driver's story ('came out of nowhere') hardens into the police report while the victim is in surgery. We rebuild the record: cameras, physical evidence, the vehicle's event data, and witness canvassing. The doctrine is covered on our Denver pedestrian page; Glendale's contribution is density, which means witnesses and video almost always exist.
Walking in Glendale
Glendale may be the metro area's most pedestrian-dense square mile: apartment towers on one side of Colorado Boulevard, groceries, gyms, and work on the other, and six lanes of 45-mph traffic in between. The Virginia Avenue and Mississippi crossings carry constant foot traffic; the Cherry Creek Trail pours runners and cyclists across street-level connections; and the nightlife district generates late-night walkers exactly when impaired driving peaks. City-scale fixes come slowly. Until they do, the law does the protecting: drivers must yield, and when they don't, they answer for it.
How We Build a Glendale Pedestrian Case
Video first, always: tower cameras, storefronts, buses, and doorbells along the corridor, preserved before overwrite. The vehicle's event data fixes speed; the crash reconstruction fixes the point of impact; the driver's phone records address the question nobody volunteers. Medically, pedestrian victims from Glendale are typically transported to Rose Medical Center or Denver Health, and we build the lifetime-impairment case with the treating teams there.
What Types of Damages Are Available?
Under HB24-1472, non-economic damages are capped at $1.5 million (2025); economic damages and physical impairment damages are uncapped, and a fatal case carries the $2,125,000 wrongful death cap. When the driver was impaired (a recurring Glendale fact pattern after midnight), punitive damages come into play, and when the driver fled, your household's UM coverage answers. Nobody should absorb a Colorado Boulevard impact and then absorb the bills too.
Venue, Deadlines, and Trial
Here is a Glendale fact with real legal consequences: the city is an Arapahoe County enclave surrounded on all sides by Denver. A crash on Colorado Boulevard inside Glendale belongs in Arapahoe County District Court; the same crash two blocks north belongs in Denver District Court, and the two jury pools value cases differently. We check the boundary on every case, because filing in the right court is free money left on the table by lawyers who don't. The deadline is generally three years for crashes (C.R.S. § 13-80-101) and two years for most other claims; camera footage on Colorado Boulevard is measured in days. Our office sits at Holly Street and Leetsdale, minutes from every address in Glendale: we are, quite literally, the neighborhood law firm. If trial is what it takes, we are ready.
