Pedestrian accidents remain a serious public safety concern throughout the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), thousands of pedestrians are killed, and tens of thousands more suffer injuries in traffic crashes every year.
Pedestrians have little protection against the force of a moving vehicle, making these accidents far more likely to result in severe or life-changing injuries than many other types of collisions.
Most pedestrian accidents occur because of driver negligence. However, unsafe roadway conditions and other factors may also contribute to a collision.
Common causes include:
Determining the cause of the accident is an important step in identifying the responsible parties and building a strong injury claim.
Because pedestrians are completely exposed during a collision, their injuries are often severe. Injuries can range from serious abrasions and contusions to life-altering conditions like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and fractures.
Other common pedestrian accident injuries include:
Victims often require multiple surgeries, lengthy rehabilitation, or lifelong medical care following a serious pedestrian accident.
While the physical toll is significant, the emotional and financial burdens can be equally devastating. Survivors may struggle with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The loss of income due to an inability to work, coupled with mounting medical bills, can plunge families into financial ruin.
Seeking legal counsel becomes crucial to navigate these complex challenges and ensure victims receive the compensation they deserve for their losses, both immediate and long-term.
Every pedestrian accident case is unique, and its value depends on several factors, such as:
An experienced pedestrian accident attorney from our firm can help you evaluate your damages and pursue compensation that reflects both your financial losses and the lasting impact the accident has had on your life.
If another party’s negligence caused your pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to recover both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages compensate you for measurable financial losses, including:
Medical records, receipts, and employment documentation often help establish these losses.
Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are meant to compensate you for losses that do not have a fixed financial value.
These damages include:
Our personal injury attorneys can carefully evaluate every category of damages to pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of your injuries.
The deadline for filing a pedestrian accident lawsuit depends on the laws of the state where the accident occurred. Every state establishes its own statute of limitations, and certain circumstances may shorten or extend the filing deadline.
Because waiting too long could prevent you from recovering compensation, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after a pedestrian accident. Early legal representation also helps preserve evidence and protect your rights.
A pedestrian accident can change your life in an instant, leaving you with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and uncertainty about the future. You should not have to face those challenges alone.
