If you’ve spent any time driving around Denver, you know that there aren’t many roads where cars travel under 30 miles per hour. What you may not know, is that if a car traveling at or above 30 MPH collides with a pedestrian the results will almost certainly be fatal. An accident at 10 MPH can cause serious disability. According to the NHTSA, in 2006 there were over 60,000 accidents involving pedestrians.
While a driver has auto insurance that may cover bodily collision, their insurance company doesn’t have any reason to do what’s best for you. An insurance company makes money when they pay out less than they take in.
