Overview

Being struck by a vehicle while walking is one of the most frightening things that can happen — and often one of the most serious. We move quickly to secure crosswalk footage and witness accounts before they’re gone, so the driver’s insurance can’t rewrite what happened.

Why This Practice Area Matters

Most pedestrian accident claims turn on who had the right of way and whether the driver was paying attention. We pull traffic camera footage, signal timing, and witness statements quickly, before evidence disappears.

Common Causes

  • Failure to Yield at Crosswalks
  • Distracted Driving
  • Speeding Near Schools or Neighborhoods
  • Turning Without Checking for Walkers
  • Backing Out of Parking Spaces
  • Impaired Driving

Compensation You May Recover

  • Medical Expenses
  • Lost Wages
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Future Medical and Rehabilitation Costs
  • Long-Term Care Needs

Case Guide

Pedestrian cases require fast evidence preservation — traffic and business surveillance cameras often overwrite footage within days. We move immediately to secure it, along with witness accounts and signal timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recover damages if I wasn't in a marked crosswalk?

Often yes. Fault depends on the full picture, including whether the driver had time to see and avoid you and whether you exercised reasonable care.

What if the driver says they didn't see me?

That doesn't excuse a driver from their duty to watch for pedestrians. We investigate lighting, speed, and attention to establish what really happened.

What if my child was hit near school?

School-zone cases often involve reduced speed limits and heightened driver duties. We handle these with extra care given the sensitivity involved.
