Pedestrian Accidents

Protection for the most vulnerable on the road

When a vehicle hits a person on foot, the injuries are often severe and the recovery can be long. Insurers may try to shift blame to clothing, lighting, or where you crossed.

Frequently asked questions

I was not in a marked crosswalk. Do I still have a case?

Possibly. Right of way rules are fact specific. We analyze signals, sight lines, traffic flow, and driver behavior.

What if I am accused of being partly at fault?

Do not assume blame. Comparative fault rules may still allow recovery. We present the complete picture of responsibility.

What if the driver fled the scene?

Uninsured motorist coverage may apply. We review your policy, investigate, and pursue every available path to recovery.

How are fees handled?

Personal injury matters are typically contingency based. You pay no attorney fee unless compensation is recovered. All terms are provided in writing.

How fast do I need to act?

Strict deadlines apply and can be shorter if a government entity is involved. Contact us quickly so your rights are preserved.
