Catastrophic injuries or death often occur when a truck or bus weighing several tons strikes a pedestrian. The initial impact itself may kill or seriously injure the person. Victims suffer addition injury when the force of the collision knocks them to the ground or throws them through the air.

These devastating accidents change lives forever. If the injury is not fatal, it probably results in many months of painful recovery, if not permanent disability such as brain damage, spinal cord damage, or loss of a limb. When truck accidents involving pedestrians occur anywhere in Colorado, the Chalat Hatten & Koupal PC Offices can help.

Our firm seeks compensation for pedestrian victims statewide who suffered injuries in truck vs. pedestrian accidents:

• People run over, pinned, or sideswiped by commercial vehicles at intersections, bus stops, and parking lots
• Bicycle or motorcycle riders struck by trucks
• People injured by actions of utility trucks, such as boom trucks tipping over, falls from bucket trucks or cherry-pickers, and electrical service truck accidents
• Blind and vision-impaired pedestrians hit by a truck

Dedicated to Full Compensation for Victims
The veteran truck accident lawyers of Chalat Hatten use every resource, including accident reports by police and independent investigators, to determine the cause of the truck accident. Was the pedestrian in the crosswalk or crossing with traffic? Did the truck signal it was turning? Did the driver fail to yield the right of way at an intersection? Was the truck speeding or performing an illegal turn? Was the driver impaired or in violation of federal regulations while at the wheel?

Chalat Hattan frequently pursues legal action against the driver and the truck company. Our highly experienced lawyers are knowledgeable of Colorado laws and federal regulations, and have obtained significant settlements and verdicts in these complex cases. We seek comprehensive damages to cover the physical and financial impact of the accident, including:

• Medical expenses and future medical care
• Lost wages and future earnings (if the victim cannot return to work)
• Compensation for permanent disability, pain and suffering, and reduced quality of life
• Punitive damages in cases involving gross negligence

In fatal truck accidents, Chalat Hatten can assist surviving spouses, parents and children in seeking wrongful death damages for funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of consortium.
