Have you or a loved one been injured in a pedestrian accident?

Over 78,000 pedestrians are injured 5,000 pedestrians die in motor-vehicle related accidents each year. (Reported by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.) Poor property maintenance can also cause or contribute to pedestrian accidents, whether it’s sidewalk or parking lot defects and/or construction or other trash or debris on a walkway. You may be able to recover damages for the injuries you have suffered if someone else’s negligence caused or contributed to your accident.

The results of each pedestrian injury case depend on a careful analysis of the facts of each accident as it relates to the essential legal elements of a pedestrian injury. When a pedestrian is injured, there may be multiple people with legal responsibility for the accident. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your accident, those with potential liability include:
The driver of a vehicle has struck a pedestrian;
The party responsible for maintaining the sidewalk, road, or parking lot where the accident occurred;
The pedestrian himself or herself.
Early involvement of a pedestrian accident attorney may be critical to protect your legal claim.
