Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians struck by vehicles face some of the most severe injuries of any accident type. Without any physical protection, the human body absorbs the full impact of a collision. US law strongly protects pedestrian rights — especially when struck in crosswalks, on sidewalks, or in parking lots.

Key Legal Facts About Pedestrian Accidents

01

Right of Way Laws

Pedestrians generally have the right of way at crosswalks. Drivers who fail to yield are typically found at fault and liable for all damages.

02

Hit and Run Cases

If struck by a hit-and-run driver, your own uninsured motorist coverage may cover your injuries. Document everything and call police immediately.

03

Government Liability

Poorly designed crosswalks or malfunctioning traffic signals can make government entities liable for pedestrian accidents in some cases.

04

Long-Term Injury Claims

Pedestrian accidents often cause traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and spinal damage — requiring substantial long-term compensation.
