Why You Need a Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Pedestrian injury claims are often complex. Insurance companies may try to blame the victim or offer lowball settlements that fail to cover long-term needs. Having a knowledgeable attorney on your side ensures your rights are protected and your compensation is maximized.

Our legal team will:

• Investigate the scene using evidence from surveillance footage, police reports, and witness statements.

• Establish liability by proving the driver’s or another party’s negligence caused your injuries.

• Handle negotiations with insurers to fight for a full and fair settlement.

• Take your case to trial if needed to pursue maximum compensation.

Let us take the legal burden off your shoulders while you focus on healing.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Most pedestrian accidents are caused by driver negligence, but dangerous road conditions or vehicle malfunctions may also contribute. Common causes include:

• Distracted Driving – Phone use, GPS distractions, and inattentiveness lead to missed pedestrian crossings.

• Speeding & Reckless Driving – High speeds reduce reaction times and increase injury severity.

• Failure to Yield at Crosswalks – Drivers often ignore pedestrian right-of-way laws.

• Drunk or Drugged Driving – Impaired drivers pose serious threats to pedestrian safety.

• Hit-and-Run Incidents – Victims are left vulnerable and without immediate medical assistance.

• Poor Infrastructure – Broken sidewalks, missing signals, and inadequate lighting create dangerous conditions.

• Backing-Up Accidents – Drivers failing to check behind them in parking lots or driveways can strike pedestrians.

No matter the cause, we pursue justice for those harmed by negligence.

Serious Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are vulnerable and unprotected during collisions, which often results in:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

• Spinal Cord Injuries or Paralysis

• Broken Bones and Fractures

• Internal Bleeding and Organ Damage

• Severe Cuts, Bruises, and Road Rash

• Wrongful Death

These injuries may require extensive medical treatment, long-term care, and time away from work—making fair compensation essential to recovery.

Compensation Available for Pedestrian Accident Victims

You may be entitled to financial compensation if your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence. This can include:

• Medical Expenses – ER visits, surgery, rehab, physical therapy, and ongoing care.

• Lost Wages – Reimbursement for missed work and future loss of income.

• Pain and Suffering – Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.

• Permanent Disabilities – For injuries that affect your mobility or independence.

• Wrongful Death Claims – For families who lost a loved one due to a pedestrian accident.

At Ratliff Jackson LLP, we fight for maximum compensation so you can rebuild your life.
