FAQ
Who is at fault if I was hit by a car while walking?
Fault often lies with the driver if they were distracted, speeding, or failed to yield, but sometimes both parties share responsibility. Our team investigates every detail, and you may still recover compensation even if you’re partly at fault.
Can I get compensation if I was hit by a car while crossing the street?
Yes. If the driver was negligent in any way, you may be able to get compensation for medical bills, lost income, or other damages.
What should I do immediately after a pedestrian accident?
Get medical help, call the police, document the scene if you can, and avoid talking to insurance adjusters until you’ve spoken to an attorney. Quick action protects both your health and your legal rights.
How much is a pedestrian accident case worth?
Each case is different, but factors like injury severity, lost wages, and long-term recovery all affect value. Our firm has recovered significant compensation for injury victims and will evaluate your case based on its unique facts.
Can I still file a claim if I was jaywalking when the accident happened?
In many places, comparative negligence laws allow you to recover compensation even if you were partly at fault. Your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but it isn’t necessarily eliminated.
Do I need a lawyer for a pedestrian accident, or will insurance cover my bills?
Insurance companies rarely offer full compensation on their own. Having a lawyer ensures your rights are protected, your damages are fully documented, and your recovery is maximized.
