Why Pedestrian Accidents Are So Dangerous

Unlike car passengers, pedestrians have no physical protection when struck by a motor vehicle. The result is often serious injuries, including:

Many pedestrian accident victims face long recoveries, permanent disability, and a lifetime of medical expenses. Our law firm works to ensure that every client receives full compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers looking at phones or GPS devices often fail to see pedestrians in marked crosswalks.
  • Running Red Lights: Ignoring traffic signals is a common factor in accidents involving pedestrians.
  • Bad Weather: Rain, snow, and fog can limit visibility and reaction time.
  • Failure to Yield the Right of Way: Many drivers disregard pedestrian rights in crosswalks or intersections.
  • Speeding and Reckless Driving: Higher speeds increase the severity of pedestrian injuries.

Our attorneys gather evidence, analyze the police report, and work with accident reconstruction experts to build a compelling case. We pursue pedestrian accident claims against drivers who act recklessly or break the law.

We Handle Insurance Companies So You Don’t Have To

Dealing with insurance companies after a pedestrian accident can be overwhelming. Insurance adjusters may question your injuries, downplay your suffering, or offer unfair settlements. Our attorneys handle all communication with insurers, gather insurance information, and work to ensure you receive fair compensation.

If the at fault driver’s insurance coverage isn’t enough to cover your losses, we explore additional sources such as underinsured motorist coverage or third-party liability.

We offer a free consultation for every potential client. There are no upfront costs and no legal fees from our firm unless we win your case. Our firm operates on a contingency basis because we believe everyone deserves access to justice—regardless of financial circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a pedestrian accident?

Seek medical attention immediately, call the police to file a report, gather contact information from witnesses, and wear reflective clothing if you’re near traffic again. Then contact a pedestrian accident attorney.

Can I file a pedestrian accident claim if I was partially at fault?

Yes. New Jersey follows comparative negligence laws, meaning you can still recover compensation if you’re less than 50% at fault. Your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

How much is my pedestrian accident case worth?

The value depends on your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Our lawyers work to ensure you receive fair compensation based on your unique situation.

What if the driver fled the scene?

If the at fault driver is unidentified, you may still have options through your own insurance policy or the state’s uninsured motorist fund. We can help you explore your legal rights.
