We help with a wide range of pedestrian accidents
Crosswalk Accidents
Drivers who fail to yield in marked or unmarked crosswalks can be held liable for striking a pedestrian. Partner law firms work to prove the driver’s negligence.
Intersection Accidents
Being hit by a turning vehicle at an intersection is common. Partner attorneys analyze traffic signals, walk signs, and witness statements to establish fault.
Parking Lot Accidents
Busy parking lots are high-risk areas. Partner law firms hold inattentive or reckless drivers accountable for backing-up accidents and other collisions in parking facilities.
Roadside & Shoulder Accidents
If you were hit while walking or jogging on the side of the road, we fight to prove the driver was distracted, speeding, or swerving.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
When a driver flees the scene, victims have options. Partner attorneys help navigate claims through your own insurance and work with authorities to identify the driver.
Public Transit Accidents
Injured while waiting for or exiting a bus? These cases can be complex, and we have partners with the experience to pursue claims against transit authorities or other responsible parties.
Common types of
Failure to Yield Collision
This is the most common cause of pedestrian accidents, where a driver neglects their legal duty to stop for a pedestrian with the right-of-way. A failure-to-yield accident attorney can use traffic laws and witness testimony to prove the driver’s fault and pursue full compensation for the victim.
Distracted Driving Accidents
When a driver is texting, on a call, or otherwise not paying attention, they can fail to see a pedestrian until it’s too late. Evidence like phone records can be critical in proving negligence in these devastating accidents.
Speeding-Related Accidents
A driver traveling at an excessive speed has less time to react and stop for a pedestrian. The force of impact is also much greater, leading to catastrophic injuries. Partner law firms work to hold speeding drivers accountable for the harm they cause.
Impaired Driving (DUI) Accidents
A driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs has impaired judgment, vision, and reaction time, making them a significant threat to pedestrians. An attorney can help victims of drunk or drugged driving accidents pursue maximum damages, including potential punitive damages.
Backing-Up Accidents
These accidents often occur in driveways and parking lots when a driver reverses without properly checking their surroundings. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable. A backing-up accident lawyer can investigate to prove the driver’s carelessness.
Poor Visibility & Nighttime Accidents
Accidents at night or in poor weather are common, but "I didn't see them" is not a valid excuse. Drivers have a responsibility to drive safely for the conditions. Partner attorneys will investigate factors like inadequate headlights or dangerous road design to establish liability.
