If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, our skilled personal injury attorneys can represent you.

Pedestrian Accident-Related Injuries can be Costly

There is no doubt that the injuries that a pedestrian occurs in a pedestrian accident can be severe. With no protections to prevent injuries, a pedestrian may suffer:

These injuries can have serious consequences on a pedestrian’s life. Injuries are not only excruciatingly painful and sometimes disabling, they are also expensive to treat. In addition to large medical bills, an injured person may be prevented from working and earning an income post-injury, as well.

Determining Fault After a Pedestrian Accident

After an accident involving a pedestrian and the driver of a motor vehicle occurs, it is important that fault is established in order to determine liability, or legal responsibility. Either party may be found at fault for the accident depending on the facts of the case; drivers are not always to blame for pedestrian accidents.

Fault is based on negligence (the failure to behave with a reasonable degree of care) or negligence per se (the violation of a statute or law). You will need to prove that the driver broke a law, i.e. failed to yield to you while you were in a crosswalk, or was otherwise negligent, i.e. was texting while driving, and that this was the direct cause of your accident and injuries.
