Do Not Talk to the Opponent’s Insurance Company

Insurance companies do not want you to talk to a pedestrian accident lawyer. Their adjusters want to keep the odds stacked in their favor and are notorious for making low offers, hoping you’ll accept. They know the injury claims process, but you probably don’t. Our accident lawyers will take away any advantage they might have.

Common Causes of Car-Pedestrian Accidents

Car-pedestrian accidents can happen for many reasons. Here are some of the most common causes:

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or eating may not notice pedestrians.
  • Failure to Yield: Drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks or intersections.
  • Speeding: Speeding reduces a driver’s reaction time and increases the severity of accidents.
  • Disregarding Traffic Signals: Drivers who run red lights or fail to stop at stop signs can collide with pedestrians legally crossing the street.
  • Poor Visibility: Low light, bad weather, or obstructed views can make it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians.
  • Driving Under the Influence: Impaired drivers have reduced cognitive abilities and are more likely to hit pedestrians.
  • Jaywalking: Pedestrians who cross the road outside designated crosswalks may unexpectedly enter the path of vehicles.
  • Inadequate Infrastructure: A lack of proper sidewalks, poorly marked crosswalks, or insufficient lighting can create hazardous conditions.
  • Driver Inexperience: New drivers may struggle to anticipate pedestrian behavior or react appropriately.
  • Poor Road Design: Roads with inadequate pedestrian crossings or confusing layouts can increase the likelihood of accidents.

Types of Pedestrian Injuries

When a pedestrian is hit by a car, severe injuries are almost always the result. Our legal team has successfully advocated for numerous pedestrian accident victims who have suffered from the following types of injuries:

  • Soft Tissue Injury: This includes damage to muscles, ligaments, or tendons. While these injuries may seem minor at first, they can lead to long-term pain if not treated properly.
  • Fractures and Broken Bones: Many individuals in pedestrian collisions sustain fractures and broken bones. These can be very painful and often require surgery.
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Head injuries are a leading cause of long-term disability and fatalities in pedestrian-vehicle accidents. Some victims recover quickly, while others with severe TBIs may require extensive or lifelong medical care.
  • Spinal Cord Injury (SCI): Without the protection of a vehicle, pedestrians are more susceptible to catastrophic injuries. Motor vehicle accidents are a primary cause of SCIs, which can lead to paralysis, respiratory difficulties, and loss of bodily function.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer?

Most pedestrian accident lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis. This is a “no win, no fee” arrangement, which means our payment depends on the outcome of the case. With this agreement, we represent you in exchange for a percentage of the compensation you are awarded. The typical fee ranges from 33% to 40%, depending on the law firm and the specifics of your case.
