Pedestrian accidents often result in severe or life-threatening injuries because pedestrians have little to no protection against vehicles. When drivers fail to follow traffic laws or act negligently, injured pedestrians may be entitled to compensation.
A pedestrian accident claim is a personal injury case brought by someone who was injured while walking, jogging, crossing the street, or standing near traffic due to a motor vehicle collision. These claims seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
Pedestrian accident laws protect victims injured by careless drivers in crosswalks, parking lots, intersections, sidewalks, and residential areas.
