Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

While every claim is unique, certain scenarios more frequently result in pedestrian accidents. These include:

• Distracted driving: texting, talking on a cell phone, or simply not paying attention can lead to not seeing a pedestrian.
• Poor road conditions: uneven pavements, lack of crosswalks, or poorly lit areas can make pedestrians vulnerable.
• Impaired driving: alcohol or drugs diminish a driver’s ability to react promptly.
• Speeding: higher speeds reduce a driver’s reaction time and can increase the severity of accidents.

It’s not uncommon for accidents to have multiple contributing causes. For example, someone might be speeding in an area without crosswalks and be so busy looking at their phone they miss seeing a pedestrian.

Recovering Damages in a Pedestrian Injury Accident

If you can prove liability against the driver or another at-fault party, you could be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries. Compensation typically includes multiple types of damages, such as:

• Economic damages: tangible losses, including medical bills, lost wages, and any out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident.
• Noneconomic damages: intangible losses, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

In some cases, you might be eligible to receive punitive damages. However, punitive damages are reserved exclusively for cases where the driver’s actions were malicious or particularly reckless. Your lawyer will explain what types of damages you may be eligible to receive.

“I’ve never liked bullies — whether on the schoolyard or in the courtroom. That instinct to speak up when someone’s being pushed around is what drives me as a lawyer. When someone’s been hurt and powerful insurers or corporations try to avoid accountability, I don’t look the other way — I step in, stand up, and fight back.”
