Pedestrian Accidents: Protecting the Rights of Injured Walkers and Families

Pedestrian accidents are some of the most catastrophic incidents on our roads. With no physical protection, pedestrians face the full force of a moving vehicle, often resulting in severe injuries or tragic loss. These accidents can happen anywhere—crosswalks, parking lots, intersections, sidewalks, or even residential neighborhoods.

At My Crash Attorneys, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial aftermath pedestrians face after being struck by a vehicle. Our firm is committed to helping victims navigate the legal process with clarity, compassion, and determination. When negligent drivers cause harm, we step in to demand accountability and secure justice.

Why Pedestrian Accidents Are So Dangerous

Unlike drivers or passengers, pedestrians have no seatbelts, airbags, or structural protection to absorb impact. Even at low speeds, a vehicle can cause life-altering injuries. High-speed collisions are often fatal or result in permanent disability.

Common scenarios include:

• Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks
• Distracted driving while using phones
• Speeding in residential or school zones
• Impaired or drunk driving
• Backing up without checking blind spots
• Turning without checking for pedestrians
• Running red lights or stop signs

When drivers ignore traffic laws or fail to look out for those on foot, innocent pedestrians pay the price.

Severe Injuries That Pedestrians Often Suffer

Pedestrian injuries are often catastrophic because the human body cannot withstand the impact of a motor vehicle. Victims may experience:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord damage
• Broken bones and fractures
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Pelvic injuries
• Severe lacerations and contusions
• Long-term mobility challenges
• Emotional trauma and PTSD

These injuries frequently require extensive medical treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing care. Many victims are left with lifelong disabilities or chronic pain.

The Emotional and Financial Toll

For pedestrians and their families, the consequences extend beyond physical harm. They may face:

• Lost income and reduced earning ability
• Long-term medical costs
• Mental and emotional distress
• Reduced quality of life
• The need for home modifications or mobility equipment

The impact on day-to-day life is often overwhelming. That is why fair compensation is essential—not only to cover current expenses but to protect your future.

Proving Liability in Pedestrian Accident Cases

Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto pedestrians, even when their insured driver was clearly negligent. They may argue that the pedestrian “came out of nowhere” or was not in a marked crosswalk.

Our firm builds strong cases by:

• Gathering surveillance and dashcam footage
• Analyzing accident scene evidence
• Interviewing eyewitnesses
• Reviewing police and medical reports
• Using accident reconstruction experts
• Demonstrating driver negligence through phone records, toxicology reports, or speed data

We ensure the truth is uncovered and that victims are not unfairly blamed.

Compensation Available to Pedestrian Accident Victims

Depending on the circumstances, victims may be entitled to recover compensation for:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional anguish
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Rehabilitation and long-term care
• Wrongful death damages for grieving families

Our priority is to secure the maximum compensation allowed by law.
